Where can you start? There are so many great things you
can say about Rob. I've known him for about 8 years now and he has always
been one of my best friends. He was probably the happiest and funniest
person I've ever met. He never had a care in the world which went so well
with his laid back personality. He was always so cool and never let anything
get to him. Once again, he was also probably the funniest person I've
met. When I was talking to somebody at my work about him, he said
you were always laughing with him or at him. That's the best way to describe
him. I remember years ago when we were waiting for the bus to come, Rob
was running late and was rushing to get on the bus and he was almost there
and his book bag unzipped and his papers went everywhere all over the
road. You couldn't help but laugh because he was actually holding up our
bus and another bus. Yet, he was still able to laugh at himself and the
situation. That's probably what I'm going to miss the most about him.
No matter how bad the day was going, when you talked to Rob he always
made you smile and laugh. I'm also going to miss how he always called
me Judy instead of Justin (long story). He was the only person who always
called me that. I'm also going to miss just hanging out, playing football
or basketball, listening to DMX with him, and so many more things. He
made everything we did together with our friends that much better. He
was the type of person who was always there for you and he always put
other people before himself, especially his family. I could clearly see
that he truly loved his parents, adored his little sisters, and had a
great friendship with his older brother. He was one of the few people
I know that I could say was like a brother to me. He was always over my
house or I was always over his house before we both had jobs. About a
week ago, his mom told me she knew he loved me like a brother. Well, it
was the same way around. I loved him like a brother and if I would have
known that day was going to be the last time I saw him, I definitely would
have told him. It was an unspoken thing that we both knew though. Rob
was an amazing friend that I'll forever miss...but never forget. WHO KNEW THAT THE SAME DAY HE STRIPPED WOULD BE THE SAME
DAY HE WAS RIPPED FROM THIS LIFE AND TAKEN HOME TO BE WITH GOD,THIS IS
UNBELIEVABLY HARD, JUST SITTIN BACK THINKIN OF ALL THE TIMES WE HAD, AND
THE HARDEST THING IS, NONE OF IT WAS BAD, I STILL SIT HERE SOMETIMES AND
THINK THAT IT'S NOT REAL, THEN I LOOK DOWN AT MY ARM AND I REALIZE THAT
IT'S REAL, I STARE AT ROBS PICTURE HANGIN ON MY WALL, AND REMEMBER ALL
THE TIMES I PICKED UP THE PHONE TO HIM SAYING "YOU WANNA BALL ", ALL THE
TIMES WE RODE IN HIS CAR LISTENING TO MUSIC, HE WOULD GIVE ME NEW STUFF
TO LISTEN TO AND I'D ASK WHOSE THIS, THERE WERE TIMES WHEN WE WOULDN'T
SPEAK, BUT THAT NORMALLY DIDN'T LAST A WEEK, THEN ONE OF US WOULD CALL
THE OTHER AND WE'D SWAP FUNNY STORIES AND MAKE EACH OTHER LAUGH, I REALLY
MISS THAT LAUGH,IF NOTHING ELSE BONDS ROB AND ME,THERE IS ONE SPECIAL
THING THAT FEW PEOPLE HAD SEEN, THE LAST PASS ROB THREW WAS A TOUCHDOWN
TO WIN THE LAST GAME HE WOULD SEE AND THAT LAST TOUCHDOWN PASS WAS A PASS
TO ME, I MAY NOT HAVEBEEN THE SAME THING TO HIM BECAUSE I KNOW HE HAD
HIS BROTHER, HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND, I KNOW THERES PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT
FEEL THE SAME WAY THAT I DO, REPRESENTING THOSE PEOPLE LET ME SAY, ROB
THERE'S NO WAY WE COULD EVER REPAY YOU,FOR EVERY SMILE THAT YOU GAVE AND
JUST BEING YOU IN YOUR OWN LITTLE WAY, BOBBERT LASTED THROUGH EVERY GIRLFRIEND
AS I DID FOR HIM, AND IT'S CRAZY BECAUSE THE DAY THAT HE DIED I WAS TALKIN
ABOUT HIM BEING A HUSBAND AND HOW HE WAS GONNA BE LATE TO HIS OWN WEDDING,
NOW I'M DREADING WAKING UP AND KNOWING THAT HE'S GONE, ROB'S BODY MAY
BE STAGNANT BUT HIS SPIRIT LIVES ON, EVERY ONE OF US HAS SEEN IT WHEN
WE LOOK AT HIS PICTURES AND WE SEE THAT SMILE ALL THE WHILE THINKING THINGS
LIKE HE SHOULD STILL BE HERE AND WHY'D HE HAVE TO GO, COULDN'T THEY LET
HIM HIT 20 YEARS,AND THERE'S ONLY ONE THING THATS JUST HALFWAY GOOD ABOUT
MISSING MY BOY, IT'S KNOWING HE'S WITH GOD AND MIXING TEARS OF SORROW
WITH TEARS OF JOY. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO WRITE BUT IF I WROTE FOREVER
I COULDN'T SAY HALF THE THINGS I WANT TO. ROB WAS THERE FOR ME WHENEVER
I NEEDED HIM AND I WON'T EVER FORGET IT. WHEN PEOPLE READ WHAT I WROTE
I DON'T WANT THEM TO THINK OF ME, I WANT THEM TO THINK OF ROB SO I AM
NOT GOING TO PUT MY NAME. BOBBERT KNOWS WHO WROTE IT AND HE KNOWS WE ALL
MISS HIM SO VERY MUCH. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT, EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE GONE
I KNEW YOU'D BE WITH ME FOREVER |
