Remembering Bob Pape: From Technicolor Love to Fostering New Beginnings

In this moving episode, Amanda Pape shares how her life was once "Technicolor" with laughter, love, and adventure, alongside her larger-than-life husband Bob. But after his sudden death from Covid, age 53, life became like a "12-inch black-and-white TV"—a stark, difficult existence. Through fostering two children, Amanda has brought color back into her world, rebuilding a new, joyful family.Amanda also reflects on Bob's enduring philosophy: "Happiness is wanting what you get, not getting what you want." This wisdom has been her anchor through grief and rebuilding, and she finds comfort in knowing that, as Bob always said, "If I died tomorrow, I'd die a happy man."This poignant episode is a tribute to Bob’s unforgettable spirit, and Amanda’s inspiring journey of finding joy and purpose again.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/stolen-goodbyes.
