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.</p><p>Amanda also reflects on Bob's enduring philosophy: <em>\"Happiness is wanting what you get, not getting what you want.\"</em> This wisdom has been her anchor through grief and rebuilding, and she finds comfort in knowing that, as Bob always said, <em>\"If I died tomorrow, I'd die a happy man.\"</em></p><p>This poignant episode is a tribute to Bob’s unforgettable spirit, and Amanda’s inspiring journey of finding joy and purpose again.</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Karen Rice "}
