š¢š¢š¢š¢ First birthday on Sunday without my pops ā¦ devastating & scary
3 weeks ago to the day you left for your eternal home.
Never before have I seen sunsets like these.
I know itās you daddy.
We all love nature, and you are showing us a glimpse of the magnificence you are experiencing while saying, “Hey girls, just as surely as the sun rises and sets, I am here guiding your way and looking after you, always as I always did.”
As the reality sinks in that we will never see you on this earth again, it is tough, dad. It gets harder every day, and as everyone says, this is our ‘new normal’ – but for our family, it is not normal. We were so closely woven by invisible threads, seeing each other every day. For us, it is a heart-wrenching new normal.
Dad, you taught us to be strong, and we are and will be. But I miss you infinitely ā¾ and a day, and so much more. You were my daddy, my first love, my strength, mentor, hero, and now, my guardian angel in Heaven.
I love you and count the seconds until I see you again for eternity, š¤š¤š¤š¤ Becky.
This evening from our folks room the sunset was the most amazing we have ever seen it.
It was a sign from our grand pops/husband/dad, our legend, our in case of emergency.
He knew he had to show us that he was happy and smiling.
Heaven truly put on a majestic display to welcome a new angel, our now guardian angel.
The shock slowly wears off at times and we are left shattered with very sore hearts.
Paul Campbell Robertson Bayvel, āDollā to mom, Daddy to us, Pops to his grandkids, papa bear to his nearest and springbok rugby legend to others.
We bid you farewell. We miss you with everything. Our hearts are shattered.
We love you infinity 
and a day.
Rest in the arms of our Heavenly Father.
Forever our hero. We salute you

@365wholesomedays šš¼ā this is possibly the first Easter we won’t spend with our dad. This part beautifully penned by @bronni_bee āIt has been a particularly hard day this year. Our family is apart because of the lockdown, and our dad, our pops, the king of our tribe, is in hospital and we are not able to visit. He was diagnosed earlier this year with stage 4 lung cancer (having spread to his spine). The prognosis is not good But we are standing on the Word and praying for a miracle. The significance of this day has overwhelmed me but simultaneously given me peace. For when we meet the deepest of our broken moments we know we are redeemed, and we will have peace and tender mercy.ā
Bronni I love you. Every word is so true. What a time for a miracle at that āold rugged crossā – one of our pops favourite songs.
Jesus died for this reason so that all illness is gone, all pain and suffering He took.
Believing in His love and mercy for this miracle at this profound time; Easter is not lost on us.
We know our God is a Good Good Father one of miracles and wander. Even with our hearts laying broken on the floor.
Prayers and Faith are still holding us up, enabling us to be strong enough to believe in that promise made at Calvary 2020 years ago.
And of course to put back together the pieces of these shattered hearts so we can be warriors, fighting for a man we absolutely adore. Blessed more than words that we are so close a strong, Faith filled family able to fight the fight even after Debs 32 year battle.
Heavenly Daddy hold our father in your arms as he is alone, let him know you more and more.
Fill our hearts with your love & peace. Especially mom as he is her forever love.
Old things have ceased, at the cross, at the crossā¦..at that old rugged Cross.
Love Always

a sad society. i am a part of, & just as guilty.
we are so focused on the new both fake & real all day
we post & focus on comlaining about the lockdown & boredom all the time.
we focus on ourselves workouts & cleanouts & our staying safe.
we really focus only on ourselvesā¦ still.
how will we ever learn that this selfishness & loss of empathy has caused this world to become a place of war, fighting, sickness and despair.
I can count on one hand the number of posts, tweets etc that are for the victims & their loved ones.
please may we learn the lesson – love one another, care more for others than yourself.
treat our home, planet earth, with the utmost love & respect.
maybe then we can heal this planet.
Love always & a day
