I woke up today from the most vivid, detailed dream recounting the memories and times I shared with Mike many years ago and then realized that today is the anniversary of his death. In my mind, I can see his smile and hear his laugh as he is amused by the special reminder he gave me today. I think of him from time to time and will never forget him. I'm so thankful for the reminder that he is watching over his family and friends. All my best to Tanya, Xavier, and all of his family.

Tremain, we will always love and miss you! It is hard for me to conceive that three special people I love are all interred in the VA National Cemetery. I just know that all of you: Michael Tremain Robertson (cousin-Army); Michael Rene Proctor (cousin-Navy); and Michael Rene Goebel (husband-Marines) are in heaven where we will see you one day. Until that great day, you are all ALWAYS in our thoughts and hearts! Your loving cousin, Althria.

You are not forgotten and will not be forgotten. I know you and my daughter, Jerelyn, who passed 12-18-2010 are together. Her four children are with me in Cali, we hope to see your son and share in making family memories with his cousins. Xavier is loved by the Newsom Family and we think of him often.

Mike, so much has happened since we last talked to each other. So many times me and my sister, Veronica, have cried over you not being here but then we remember the good times and the things you said to us to make us laugh. You were always a good friend to have and you will remain in my heart til I see you again. At times I feel you with me and I know in my heart that you are. You would always show up in Houston & knock on my window no matter what time it was. You always made me smile & made me proud to be your friend. I will never forget you Mike, I will continue to keep you in my heart & I thank God for giving me the time we had together. I knew you since 6th Grade and we remained strong thru it all. Thank you for being the brave one & I hope you know that I was always proud of you & I still am honored to have had you as my friend. Love Ya

Every year we are reminded of you and and your ultimate sacrifice. We think of you all year round, but this day brings it all so close again. We watched the Memorial Day concert Sunday night and I told your story to all my friends...I told them what a crazy, funny and caring guy you were and that you finally got everything you ever wanted just shortly before you were called home. What a wonderful legacy you left behind! You're always in our hearts!

I know you are watching over us from heaven. You are probably up in heaven with your circle of friends around you telling some of your crazy, funny stories and everyone is laughing and having a good time with you. Nephew, we will meet up again one day. I know you are with God and you are alright.

It's been a while since I stopped by here. It still hasn't really sunk in that you're gone. I always figured we'd meet up in 10 years with our spouses and our kids and talk about the old times, when we were both young and stupid. We would laugh about all the crazy things we did, and share stories about our lives since then. We would be the kindred spirits and lifelong friends we knew deep in our hearts we were. I will have to live with the regret of not picking up the phone and getting in touch with you. If I learned anything, it is not to wait for life to happen to you. Just live it. Don't hesitate. We had the best of times and the worst of times, but through it all, you were one of the best friends I've ever had. And I miss you. I'm glad you became the man you did. I'm glad you got to be a husband and a father. I'm happy that you found God, and lived your life to the fullest. But most of all, I'm privileged to have known you. You were a good man, Michael Robertson, but you're an even better Angel.

Needless to say I was thinking of you this weekend and as usual I remembered all the good times and laughs we've shared. It's still a terrible thought that you're gone, but I'm glad that the memories of everything good you brought and were are starting to be more prominent than the grief. You've enriched the lives of so many and you continue to do so with your legacy. I'm proud of you and I miss you!
All my very best wishes once again to your family...maybe I'll get to see that little boy of yours some day!

As you know, I never really need a special day to remember you because everyday you are in my thoughts. I often catch glimpses of you in Xavier, that leave tears rolling down my face but a smile so big knowing that I have so much of you to share with him. Today our son looked at me and asked, "mom what is this Memorial thing" in reference to Memorial Day and I was searching for words that could fit for his 3 year old brain but before I could find that answer he said, "we member people like my daddy and one day when I'm much older I will meet him in heaven". He is such an amazing little boy and I know you watch him with so much pride! Today, I remember the pride you took in your service to our country and I remember how hard you fought to be here for us! I will never forget your love or great sacrifice, my sweet husband may you continue to rest in your perfect paradise... Love, Tanya

This poem was sent to me this morning and it said to share it with others to remember the brave heroes living and passed! Christmas is a time that we should remember that they give so much, including their lives so that we can have to freedom to celebrate..it's once again time to thank them and their families for giving us that special gift!!!
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF
PLASTER AND STONE.
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED
A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.
WAS THIS THE HERO
OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO,
THE FLOOR FOR A BED?
I REALIZED THE FAMILIES
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.
SOON ROUND THE WORLD,
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.
THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.
I COULDN'T HELP WONDER
HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.
THE VERY THOUGHT
BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
AND STARTED TO CRY.
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
'SANTA DON'T CRY,
THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS.'
THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,
I CONTINUED TO WEEP.
I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,
SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED
FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE
ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR
SO WILLING TO FIGHT.
THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, 'CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE.'
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH,
AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
'MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND,!
AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT.'

"Rob"...we're all in the habit of using designated days like Veterans Day and Memorial Day as occasions to remember and honor heroes like you. But once a tragedy has hit so close to home and has effected us so deeply these days are simply not enough! So even though I will think of you even more often throughout the day today, just know that there is hardly ever a day that goes by on which your friendship, your dedication and your ultimate sacrifice goes unthought of.
To you and your family...you're always in my heart!

I knew Tremain as "Mike" as everyone in high school called him. I wish I could tell you how much I miss your friendship and regret that we lost touch all of those years. I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how I didnt get to see you one last time and let you know how much your friendship meant to me. I still have all the letters you wrote me and pictures you sent me. You will always hold a very special place in my heart. Laura and I always remember all the good times we had with you! Love and miss you always...

Three years....it seems like an eternity has passed since Tremain passed away. Then there are the days that it seems like only yesterday.
I find myself wondering what life would be like for my sister and nephew if he was still here. Like Tanya said, he left her the most precious gifts.
It is the time to mark this season, Autumn, with the fond memories of Tremain. We can celebrate his memory with laughter and joy, not focusing on his death, but celebrating a life well lived. He lived as he wanted to and loved as he wanted to--with passion and fire. Although he is gone too soon, keep alive his memory and remember, he has a legacy. A very strong legacy that has his passion and his smile! Xavier C. Robertson is that legacy. Let us not be selfish in sharing with his only child. Tanya is doing a wonderful job as a single parent raising him. She would give her life for him. He will never be lacking in love! Keep his memory alive by sharing your stories so that Xavier can carry his memory on to the next generation. Be selfless.
In Memory of Michael ~ (Debra Estep)
October 25, 2008
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Michael, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

I hope you do see that I am keeping those promises I made to you...finding my way without you has not been easy but you have left me some of the most precious gifts to help me on that journey forward! I have our beautiful Xavier and a heart full of love & memories to share! I love you...

May 15, 2008
It wasn't until today that I found out about this more than dragic event. I remember "Rob" as an amazing friend, a shoulder to lean on and simply a great guy. After having been good friends for a long time we lost touch throughout the last few years, but the last time he contacted me, he sent me pictures of his brand new baby boy. What a precious gift. I would like his family and especially his wife and son to know that my thoughts are with them. It is so difficult to grasp the reality of him being gone. I do know though, that he will stay in my memory forever and I wish I would have tried a little harder to stay in touch. I knew Rob back during his time in Germany and I know that he has touched the lifes of many people in a very good way. He always knew how to make me laugh.
To a great person and a passionate soldier, you will be in our hearts forever, Rob!
May 11, 2008
You are remembered and respected. Thank you Sgt Robertson!

My deepest condolences go out to Rob's family, his wife Tanya and his son. I found out about his death today, and still cannot believe he is no longer with us. We lost touch over the years, and I regret it deeply. He was a great man, wise beyond his years, funny and smart. He was always there when you needed him, and he had a beautiful soul. I am so sorry for your loss, and I know that the pain never really goes away, but he is watching over all of us. And he will never be forgotten. He touched the lives of so many people and lives on in all our memories. He will surely live on in mine.

Never in a million years will I forget the impact you had and still have in my sister's life. You would be so proud of her, as she is a wonderful mother to Xavier! He is growing up so big, smart and strong. He has a lot of positivity and love surrounding him. You impacted all of us with your infectious smile. I will never forget the day in the hospital when Tanya was in labor. You and Alan paced and paced. It took forever, it seems, for him to come into this world. I will bever forget the look of love in your eyes as you gazed upon your son for the first time and looking at your wife after all that darn labor! What a wonderful young man you were. We are missing you each and every day, Tremain! I will never forget how blessed I am to have known you for even such a short time.

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guest book for the rest of my life, but I promised LE RON A. WILSON (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

Mike....I thought of you today. What you did for our country and your family can never be forgotten. But I know that you are our angel and that we will see you one day in heaven. I am making plans to come visit you soon in San Antonio. I love you always....

Love Lives On
Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
and cherished memories never fade
because a loved one's gone.
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart,
far as long as there is memory,
they'll live on in the heart.

In the coming days we get ready to head back to Iraq. Although we have in no way forgotten what took place over a year ago, your inspiration weighs heavily on our minds. I hate to call it revenge but we will win this fight that took you from us. This one's for you SGT Rob.

It's so hard to say goodbye so I will just say I will see you later on the other side. Until then I love you. Great Aunt Jean.

Words can not express how much I miss my cousin. I can remember when my mother told me he was gone I wasn't sad at first because I didn't believe that it was true. I never lost anyone that close to me before. I did not want him to be gone and it hurts but I'm happy to know that my cousin Tootie touch so many people in a positive way and I will always have my memories. I love all my cousin and I loved Tootie because he was never afraid to say what was on his mind and he taught me a lot of things about life. I miss you and rest in peace

Hello all, I am really proud of my cuz. I'm just finding out about this tribute to him and it's great to know that he touched soooo many lives positively. He and I grew up together along with 5 other cousins and we were very tight. Like brothers. Things just don't feel right without you "tootie"... You still live on within all of our hearts. You left so many good memories! We all miss you dearly, but I'm sure you're alright up in heaven. Hopefully when our times come, we meet again! RIP
