7 years ago I found out I was pregnant. I knew I wanted to name my first baby with some part of brothers name. His full name was Brandon Keith Bobb. So thus Preston Keith was born. It’s crazy to think that was almost 7 years ago. But more so crazy to realize you’ve been gone for 17 years. 17 years. I can’t wrap my head around it being almost 2 decades later. Preston reminds mom and I of you, he’s a smart cookie, loves sports, and gives me the blues sometimes. Hey he really is a mini you. Kinda miss all those pranks now, sometimes I think back and get a good chuckle. Thank you for the memories I get to share with your niece and nephews. We all love and miss you Bubba. Forever my guardian angel. All gave some, some gave all. Gone but never forgotten. PFC Brandon K. Bobb.

Dear Brandon,
It´s that time of year again. Happy Birthday Bubba. You would have been 36 this year. I wonder how life would be if you were still here. I wonder how many nieces/ nephews I´d have. I wonder if you´d make my kids more rotten than they already are. You were always great with kids, you would have been a great dad and uncle. Preston talks about you, I guess hearing all the stories we´ve shared impacted him in some way. You would think it gets easier over the years, but it just gets more numbing. Any way big bro, I love you always. I hope you´re not giving heaven too much run around. Got to save some fun for me up there. Until we meet again, love your little annoying sister. (I think I still hold that title high)

All gave some, some gave all.
Gone but never forgotten.
Hug your loved ones tight, you never know when it will be the last.

Hopefully I randomly hear "Daughtry-Home" ... I´ll know you´re just stopping by to say you´re with me still. (That was one of the songs played at his memorial service, but when I´m missing him, for some reason that song will randomly pop up that day while I´m out and about.)
For instance, my mom and I were at TGIF restaurant, one of our old stomping grounds back in the day; we would have family dinners there when Bubba was alive. We´ve only gone a hand full of times since he passed, but while we sat there waiting for our food, that song played. My mom were mid conversation and we just stopped at stared at each other. It was a bittersweet moment.

Today makes 15 years since you left this earth. I love you Bubba. I hope you’re proud looking down. Your nephews know all about their uncle Brandon. Until we meet again big bro. All gave some, some gave all. May the world never forget the sacrifices our troops make. Hug your loved ones tight, you’ll never know when it will be your last. Brandon was 6 days from coming home. Gone but never forgotten.

Hey Bubba,

Bittersweet writing to you, your oldest nephew knows your face now, if he sees a photo, he´s knows your uncle Bubba. That makes my heart happy, he´s such a smart 3 year old. You would be proud, he loves sports, I try to keep the boys super active so they´ll have a healthy life. We just got done with Tball spring season. I was a coach, what an experience trying to get 3 years to listen and play ball. LOL It was super fun though and Preston made a lot of new friends.
On another note, your baby sister is getting married this year! November 6th, 2021is the big Day, super excited because I´ve always wanted a November wedding. Ive been with him for 5 years now. I can´t believe I´m settling down in my 20s hahah. He proposed on New Years 2019, but your second nephew came by surprise and was Due 11/15/2019. Then we decided okay, November 2020, but covid hit. So here we are lol 2021. And praying this second outbreak doesn´t prolong the process. Pray for your sisters sanity, lol. I wish you could be there. I wish you could meet Josh and your nephews. See how beautiful of a bride I´ll be. Forever my guardian angel, please be there, show me a sign, I love you Bubba. Until we meet again.

Happy Birthday Bubba! I love and miss you. If you were here today, I’d tell you how old you’re getting, maybe count your greys, probably had at least 200 by now :P. I wish you could be here to meet your nephews. They make me think of you on different ways.

Until this next time we meet. I love you always.

I have big news, I had your second nephew! Yes boy momma here, how did your sparkle and pink everything sister make only boys?! Lol I think you had a play in that in some way up there. And I love it. Preston reminds me of you in some ways. Ive hit some tough milestones and I made it because I have you as my guardian angel. I wish you were here.

Hi son I want to wish you a Happy Heavenly 33rd Birthday. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I still stop and wonder what your life would be like in the here and now. Your sister has given birth to your second nephew 2 months ago Paxton Shane. He is just as awesome as Preston Keith who is a miniature you. I will strive to keep your memory alive . Your brother is still thriving out in the world trying to achieve his goals. Your dad Johnny is still a hard worker and go getter. Your Nanny J is still stubborn as usually but I still show her your picture and talk about you. I love you and still miss you dearly. I just wish that I had more time but I know that it was GODS WILL for you to go home. One day I will meet up with you again, but for now I will hold on to the memories.

We didn't get out touch today like we wanted. We will also honor and remember you Bubba. This is by far one of my favorite photos of Preston. He will know his crazy uncle. Some gave all. All gave some. Remembering those who never came home. We love you uncle Brandon. Happy Memorial Day.

It kills me everyday seeing a soldier come home to their family. Im happy that they get to see their loved one. I wish our family had that chance. Youre always missed Bubba. I wish you could meet Preston. Oh hes such a handful now. You would be on your feet the whole time. You know people ask where Prestons middle name came from. Its so bittersweet telling people about you and the reason I named Preston that. I love you bro. Cant wait to see you again some day.

January 14, 2019

Hisun. I just wanted to wish you a very happy Heavenly 32nd birthday. I still miss your goofy lopsided smile, bear hugs, the joking and clowning around that you did with your siblings and all the joy that you spread throughout the world I know they God gained an awesome angel but I am still thankful for all the memories that I have. You will always be in my heart and my mind. Your legacy will live on forever. There is no one who can fill your shoes. Your sister is now officially engaged I am so excited. I know you will be there in spirit.

It saddens me that you'll never know your uncle. But I can't wait to share the memories I had with him to you. One day you'll hear how brave he was, how his dream was to open a restaurant, how he always pranked us, the way he ate and never gained weight, and all the other things that made him so unique. I'm thankful that he watches over us everyday. I know for a fact he was there the day I delivered. I was terrified and almost lost you, but here you are almost 5 months old. I'm so glad for you to be apart of this day with me now. 11 years today. Gone but never forgotten. I love you Bubba.

Paula Bobb- Miles MOM

July 17, 2018

Well son today marks your 11th year that you were called home. With time the hurt does ease up some but the emptiness never goes away. I wish you were here to enjoy your nephew Preston he is a remarkable lil man who reminds me of you. You are always in my thoughts. I am glad that God allowed me to enjoy you for 20 1/2 years. You will never be forgotten. Until we meet again my precious Angel.

Who knew that May of 07 would be the time I got the chance to hug you. Time is so precious. Life is so precious. You know sitting up here just having my mind race tonight. I really wish you could be here. I'll be having your first nephew in March. I can't wait to tell him about his uncle in heaven when he gets older. I know you continuously watch over me. Just like you will over him. I have your picture in his nursery. Because I know you're already watching over him. He's got your energy. Haha I feel like he's always throwing a party in there. Back flips or something. Especially at night. I love you Bubba. I wish I said it more then. Your birthday is coming up old man. Gosh I would of loved to see your reaction. Man time flies, you would've been 31 in a few weeks. Crazy. Not to mention this is the 10th Christmas without you. I had some of the best Christmas memories because of you. Well thank you Bubba. For the sacrifice made. For the wonderful memories. For being my guardian angel. For putting up with me as a sibling. And for being you. I miss your smile. I'll see you again one day. 10 years down.

Expected March 2018! Brandon would be an uncle to be.

Hey Bubba,
We had our furst Gold Star family event today. The statue they put up was beautiful. Honoring you and the other fallen soldiers. I almost went the whole day without crying, the speeches got to me though. It's so wonderful just to see people that supporting the community and offer a hand. You made the ultimate sacrifice, but I know if you had a chance to do it all again, you would. Your 10 year anniversary just passed in July. I can't even believe that, 10 years. It finally gets easier than it used too. I'm so proud of you Bubba. I'm so grateful to know we aren't alone in this. Thank you for your sacrifice, thank all of the men and women who put theirs lives on the line for this country. We all know I'd give anything for one more day. Just one, I love you. That will never change.

Happy 30th birthday Bubba. Gosh, you would of been so old now. It's crazy how time flies by. I miss you so much. Some days are easier than others. Your life was cut short.

Dear Brandon,

I would of never guessed you wouldn't be here today. Sometimes it's hard to understand why bad things happen to good people. I can't help but wonder if things would be different. Where adventures would of taken us. If you would of gotten married yet. How many kids you would of had. If you would be the same person you were. I wonder if we would have the same relationship. I don't understand why God took you. You were so young, with your life ahead of you. I know it's not good to question God, but it's so hard. Heaven gained an amazing angel that day. It's hard being here with so many questions. But I can't be selfish, you died doing something you loved. And I'm so proud of everything you accomplished in such a short amount of time. We all were proud of you Bubba. Not a day goes by were your not being thought about. I miss you, I miss everything about you. I miss your smile, the pranks, hanging out, summer days, visiting you, your bear hugs, and the father figure you were for me growing up. Thank you for never giving up on me. Thank you for being a good role model for us growing up. Thank you for being an upbeat person. Thank you for putting up with me. Thank you for all the love and encouragement. Thank you for stepping up and fighting for our country. Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice. You're my hero Bubbs. I cant wait to see you again. We have a lot to talk about. You might judge me but I know you wouldn't stop loving me unconditionally. It's gets easier over time, to go on day to day. But you won't ever be forgotten. To one day tell my kids about their amazing uncle. See you at the crossroads. I love you.

I don't know why you had to go at such a young age. I don't know why years later I can't cope with you not being here. I talk to mom all the time about how things could of been different and you could still be here. I don't know why you decided to enlist in the military. But do know that I am so proud to of had a brother like you. Someone caring, smart, funny, and overall an amazing gentleman. I may not know why you chose Army, but I'm so proud of you for doing what you loved. I cannot thank you enough for the sacrifice you made. I just miss you so much. I try to be normal and I try to live my life. But it's so hard to do certain things and know that you're not here. I know you wanted what's best for Jj and I but I'm so lost in this world. I keep trying to think of what you'd say or if I made you proud enough. I hope I do everyday. To one day tell my kids about their amazing uncle in heaven. I hope I never lose you as my guardian angel and you watch over me everyday. I love you Bubba, now and forever. MTAH! Thank you for the sacrifice you made doing what you loved. I'm forever grateful for even the memories of you.

Ps- Thanks to the men and women who are currently serving. But special thanks to the ones that made the ultimate sacrifice. May God be with the other families on this day.

Well son we are celebrating another Memorial Day in your Honor. I love and miss you very much. I wonder everyday what would life be like if you were here physically. Heck I know you would be playing pranks and smiling at us with that lopsided grin that always gave you away. I would have an awesome daughter in law, Grand kids and a German Shepherd to babysit. I am proud of you for being that outstanding Child of God, son ,grandson,nephew,cousin,friend and Soldier. Your memory will never be lost or fogotten. Mom loves you son always. I know that you are in heaven where you belong with the other members of the family who have gone before you and after you. One day I hope to have accomplished what you did in your short but treasured 20 and 1/2 years of life. You have touched many lives in a very positive manor. I know that GOD is very happy with you. Until we meet again.

Dear Brandon,
I remember when I found out what had happened. I was so shocked. Here we were a few months out of AIT and I was faced with the reality both you and Joshua were gone. For 6 months you were a brother to me. We trained and grew together. I miss you brother. Im sorry it took me so long to finally write to you here. To Brandons family please know that your son and brother was my friend. Brandon was an example that we all followed. No matter what Brandon, Always Bonecrushers

Today would of been your 29th birthday. I wish you could be here today. Celebrating another year. But who am I to be selfish like that. You're not suffering, you're not having to deal with any heartaches, and you're safe. There's no wondering if you're going to come home. You've already made it. I might not be able to see, hear, or hug you. But I know you're there, guiding me through life. Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice Bubba. My guardian angel and Hero. I love you now and forever. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDON!

I don't know what scares me the most. The fact that you've been gone a few years shy of a decade or that the pain is easy to deal with now. Either one leaves my at a loss for words. No matter how many years go by I want you to know I will always love and miss you. I remember being in denial for so long. I never wanted to believe you'd been killed in the line of duty. Yet here we are 8 years later and you're not here, nothing will ever replace the empty void. I wish you could be here through all the highs and lows. I wish I could here you laugh. I wish I could ask you advice. I wish we could have prank wars again. I wish you didn't have to go so soon. I wish I could of been a aunt. I wish life was different. I wish you didn't have to go without a goodbye. I wish I could go back in time. I wish heaven had phones. Man if I could of read my life story... I'd burn the book bc it's messed up. But I can't and you're not coming back. You'll always be my American hero. I love you! RIP PFC Brandon Bobb #GoneButNeverForgotten #8Years #Bro #MyGuardianAngel

I just wanted to say Happy 28th Birthday Son. I was lying here wondering what you would be like today. Would you be married? How many grand children would i have? What type of relationship you would have with your siblings? How you would be trying to change the world. I know that you were and always will be in my eyes an awesome son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, mentor and friend. But most of all you were an amazing soldier and hero. Thank you God for blessing me with an Angel.

7 years ago, God called home a beautiful angel, Bubba. Although I tend to wonder how our family will ever go on without you. Strangely, another year has come, I guess it really is a day to day process. I hope even with the years I never forget any memories. It's crazy how I feel like crying when I think of you. But I know you wouldn't want me sad all the time. Thank you for being the best older brother a sister could ask for. Thanks for watching over me everyday. Thanks for your brave sacrifice. Thanks for being my hero. Thanks for believing in me. Thanks for giving me a great role model. Thanks for giving me lots of happy memories. Thanks for naming me. Thanks for always being around when I needed you. Thanks for sharing the best pranks. Thanks for picking on me, couldn't stand it then, but I wish I had it now. I love you with all my heart! Never stop being my guardian angel. Always remembered, now and forever.

Hey Bubbs,
Its been a while since I last wrote you. I know my words come out the same way. I miss you. Those three small words say so much though. So deep and true. You were on my mind hard tonight. I'm having a hard time processing that I will never know what life WOULD be like if you were here. I know I shouldn't put myself through the pain and heartache, but I can't help but wonder. It's crazy how life goes, right? I hope you watch over me even as I age. Guide me when I'm lost. Always be my older brother because NO one can fill your shoes! I REALLY wish you were here, I tend to reminisce on the good ol' days. Who knows where we'd be if you were here. I know I would of got some great advice for high school and college. I guess I can't complain to much on it though. I made it through, making it through. Sometimes people wonder why I'm so bitter, I wish life were different. Our family was whole. Life was just perfect until July 17. How could one day make the road ahead long, painful, and empty? I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I'll never hear you say it back, but I pray you do. I pray to always stay on Gods path. I want to make sure I make it to heaven. Take care of Maw Maw and Paw Paw. See you at the crossroads someday! I could never have asked for a better older brother. You're my hero, now and forever. I will try to step up as much I as can. I know mom needs me. I hope JJ and I will have a great relationship, he's the only sibling I have left. I will cherish our memories Brandon. Never leave my side, My Guardian Angel! -Rocky

Dear Brandon,
Starring at all the photos on my wall reminiscing and thinking of what life would be like if you were here. That feeling of having our family back together. I wonder how many kids you would have by now if any. I wonder if I would be fat still or if you would whip me into shape. I wonder where we would be living if you were here. I wonder if our brother and sis relationship would be the same. I wonder what kind of car would be parked outside. I wonder if you would still have that dream of being a chef. I wonder if you would ever get sick of drinking Sprite. I wonder if it would have changed the way I feel if you were here. The way we see things now. I wish that this was all a lie. I wish God didn't call you. I wish I had more time, even just a day. I wish I had a sign it was coming. I wish I could of been there so you were not alone. I wish it wasn't so hard. I wish I wouldn't cry every day. I wish you never joined the Army. I wish I could of stopped you. I just wish you were here Bubba! Just for one more bear hug and a big smile. I wish I could hear you say it will be ok. I wish I could let go and stop being so angry. I wish it didn't have hurt this bad. I wish that this was just one just one big nightmare. I'll wake up and everything was normal and perfect. I love you big brother so much. I'd do anything to hear you say I love you too. Your Sis -Rocky

Truly sorry for the loss of a hero. My daughter Nikki Giampietro was friends with Brandon. I've heard such wonderful stories about him and she still talks about him till this day. Just wanted to say that she is running a marathon this weekend in his memory/honor. The marathon is sponsored by TAPS and it's being held at Disney. They gave her a picture of him with a pin that says TAPS, run and remember team. I hope this lets you know that his memory lives on. God Bless.

Hey Bubbs,
I don't understand why some people have to go through some of the toughest battles. I don't get why you had to leave at such a young age. I don't get why after 6 yrs my heart like the first day we found out. I don't know why you had to go. I don't understand why people say it's going to be okay. I don't know why people tell you it gets easy with time bc 6 years is a long time and these tears still flow. I don't understand how the memories suffice for you not being here. I don't understand why I wont have beautiful nieces or nephews from you. I don't understand why July is such a bad month. I don't get alot, but I really hope I could understand things one day. I love you big brother. I miss you so much. Love Your Lil Sis Rocky

To whoever is reading this please cherish the people in your life bc you don't when the time comes.

Dear Bubba,
I can't believe how time flies! I remember being 12 years old the last time I saw you. I'm proud to tell you that I made it. I graduated!! I did that, I earned it. Although I cried the whole time wanting a bear hug and to see you smiling at your baby sis, I couldn't. It was hard to cope with the fact that the one I looked up to wasn't there. But yet you were. You've always been here, my own Guardian Angel. I know you were with me walking across stage bc I did not fall, you know I can be a clumps. I can not believe it has been 6 years in a little over a month. I love you so much Brandon, words doesn't even suffice. I thank you for all the years you blessed others and I with your presence. You are my hero. I know that you are proud of me and I will always do my best to keep it, I learned from the best. I will NEVER forget you Bubba, ever! One day I will see you again big brother.
Ps- When I need pick me up, I listen to "Lee Brice - I Drive Your Truck" . You are always on my mind when that song plays.

Dear Brandon,
I wish you were here! Your little sister is growing up. Prom and graduation are almost here! I remember going to your graduation in 05, and being so exicted for my big day. But I'm really not so exicited. It's just no one prepared me to be walking stage without my big bro in the stands. The one I looked up to, the one who told me to do my work, and have high goals. I can not believe its has been almost 6 years since your death. I was looking through your photos and I suddenly broke into tears. I stumbled upon your prom photos. It is super hard to know your not going to be here! To be able to see what I'd look like dolled up, to make me smile, and to harp on my date. I really wish I could go back just to see you and for our whole family to be happy again. I wish you were here to have seen me through high school. To warn me how college life is. To be proud of me when I awalk stage. To have another big bear hug because yours was the best. To get the best advice known. I pray that God will heal because our hearts still not whole. I know you'll be proud of me when I walk stage on June 1. I pray you know that no matter what you always be my big brother and I will always love you. I pray to never forget you, ever. <- Love Your Little Sissy, Rocky

Hey Bubba,
I'm feeling like the outcast in the family. I don't belong here. Why did God take you. Why you? Why not me? Its not like I'd be missed. People would forget about me after the first year. Everyone loved/ loves you. I don't belong here anymore. God are you listening? My life is crazy right now. Why is there drama at my school that I somehow got placed in? I'm sick of this. I want to be with you. Even my own family doesn't care.. No one even ask me how my day is. Do I ever get a random text of "I love you" .. No!! My life... That's just it there is nothing there, I feel so empty and alone. Do they not realize I'm calling for help? Not appreciated in life. How to cope, I may never know!! <- Your Sissy

Bubba
Well we've started another year. The years keep going and the clock keeps ticking but the pain is still there. I love and miss you dearly. Right now the thoughts of being a mother in law and a grandmother hurts the most. I see other people enjoying their grandbabies and the void that's there sometimes feels overwhelming. I am dedicating my life to helping the little kids out there who need love and nurturing in order to heal from whatever limitations they have.
These are my adopted grandkids just like you were a mentor and big brother to many. One day when JJ and Rocky complete college and settle down, I know that they will bless me with bundles of joy. Until then I will be patient and let go & let GOD handle everything.
I love you son and I thank GOD for blessing me with you.

The day he was deployed. Rip PFC Brandon K. Bobb. Love your sissy.

Hey Bubbs,
It's a new year! This year I'll be 18 this Friday, in June I'll be graduating, and in the fall I'll be in college(: . Dang time really fly's by now a days. Your 26th b'day is in a few weeks. Gosh it doesn't even feel like it's been 6 years. I love you Brandon and I'm missing you everyday. I know your proud of me and the person I've grown up to be. I have you to thank, you were always there for us growing up. A positive role model in our life. You kept us in line and made sure we did well in school. For a moment I did give up on school, but then I thought about you. You would want us to strive and be the best. I didn't realize even if your not physically here, you'll always be in my heart. That's what keeps me motivated! I love you big brother and thanks for being so amazing, you changed my life. I will NEVER forget you. Rip Bubba.

Hi Bubba
This year has been really busy so far. I miss our chats on the phone where we tell each other about our crazy day and what we are going to do about changing things. You will always be an important part of my life. Your sis is a senior and will be graduating and JJ will be following in a couple of years. Life is truly short and I want to spend my time forgiving people for all the wrong that they have done to me or the family. I want to move forward and walk with GOD. I know that you are in a better place and I at least have that piece of mind. I know that GOD is pleased with you and so am I. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS. No one is perfect but we all need to strive to be.

Hey Bubba, your 5yr death anniversary is coming up. Man, it feels like yesterday; I was 12 and having found out your brother you saw all the time, will not be seen anymore. I'll be 18 in a few months and I graduate this upcoming year. Your words are what kept me striving " Stay in school and do your best always." All I have are memories and photos. But it will never be the real deal without you. I know that your with me everyday, I know I can make it off of knowing that. I pray to never forget those golden memories. I love you and miss you so soo much big bro. Moms so strong and Jj reminds me of you in some ways. No regrets for the past, god needed an amazing angel. He got that times 2! You and Ron were the perfect 2. I pray that I'll grow to be courageous and amazing like you were; and always will be. #M.T.A.H.

Hi son
Your 5th year anniversary is nearly upon us. I truly love you and miss you. You were an awesome and heroic young man. A mothers dream. Truly an Angel. I see a little bit of you in your siblings everyday. Your mom is working at what you requested of me to share my love and help the needy kids in the world. Pediatric nursing and foster care. I will always strive to keep your memory alive. I pray that God keeps a watchful eye on all of your siblings,cousins and other relatives because no one truly knows the depth of anyone's grief,sorrow or pain.
Love you son

Hello Bubba, I went to your grave site this weekend, I'm shocked to say that I was able to hold all tears in. But thats always how it is when moms around, I have to be strong for the both of us, even sometimes for jj too. It's almost been five years since your death this upcoming July. Thats the most shocking, it hasn't felt like that many years and nor has the years been easy. I thank god everyday that I was able to have you all those years with you, through the fights, jokes, and great times. Memories are all I have left, the only thing that keeps me going. No one will ever understand the pain, know the hurt I feel, and how I struggle to make it a brighter day. The family hasn't been the same since the heavy duty glue of our lives is gone. It never will be. High schools good, I'm almost making straight A's :D! I know you'd be so proud of the person I am today. I remember how you told me I couldn't date til age 25, umm thats hard(;. I'll never forget you, that smile, the way you smelled like ocean sea salt, and those ridiculous pranks played(well done). My kids in the future are going to know you as if they known you forever. Promise that. Your a hero in my eyes and MANY others even ones who has not once met you. I love you big brother. Now and forever. Missing you like crazy. But I'll make it because I know everything I succeed at or try to accomplish, your there. Your amazing and I hope that I could even be half the person you are. See you at the crossroads. Love your little sister rocky.

Well nephew your memories will continue to live on strong in each one of us. Yesterday would have been your 25th birthday. I often wonder what life would be like with you still physically in our lives. I know the unkowing leadership you displayed would have continued to better the lives of many. Your laughter and smile would brighten the faces of many. I see a lot of you in my youngest son. Hopefully he can grow to be half the young man you turned out to be in such a short life. All of us truely miss you .

I love you always and just cause you been gone for almost five years the memories run through my veins. Sometimes I dnt want extra time on my hands at the fact that those memories is the only thing that runs through my head. But its okay because tears of joy for the years spent w/ you. I miss you and see you soon. -rocky

Brandon,
I will forever cherish the memories of those times we hung out together--when the six of us from 21st Replacement went bowling. Every now and then I visit your page just to see that crazy photo of us only a couple months before you deployed. Although it deeply saddens me that you are not here with us, I know you are in a better place watching over us. I know it was you who was watching over me while I deployed and came back safely. You impacted my life in so many wonderful ways and I will never forget what a wonderful man and friend you were. You will NEVER be forgotten; I will never forget you.
