for me, that funeral ceremony felt like less of an honor to bobby as a person and more like an obligation for everything bobby’s done to the city of LA as a firefighter. it showed nothing of his warmth, his wiseness, his protectiveness and personality as a person, friend, father and husband to his family.
it was a tribute for bobby on his career but not for the person he actually was.
and that felt disripectful to him, knowing how important family meant to him. last season he wanted to retire slowly and not make a big deal out of it, just wanted to be with his family, helping them grow as long as he could be by their side.
because that was who he is, a personal family man who loved to have JUST people he loves by his side, instead of a big flashy celebration by people he doesn’t know. bobby HATED grand heroic gestures for himself.
