Can't believe it's been almost a year! "Here Without You "weighs heavy on my mind so very much now. Try hard to move on with life with a torn heart. Thankful of the gifts you left me which were pieces of your life of people that loved you too. So great to have Merry in my life now and being able to watch your sons grow up. I wanted peace and happiness for you just wish it was still here on earth and we could just pick up the phone like we have always done.

Christmas week
We always had so much fun Christmas week :)
Hunting for just the right tree ,cutting it down,bringing it home and decorating while having eggnog and singing (way too loudly ) Christmas songs ...fa la la la la :)
I put some of your ornaments up & as each one went on the tree i thought of the Christmas adventure to get it..
From the cold Christmases in CT or RI and Christmas weeks in NY to the warm Christmas' in South Carolina and Florida...
from ice skating to jet skiing christmas week to Mohegan Sun last year then back down to delaware,I will never ever forget all the joy we shared with eachother and all the fun memories I have of all of us this time of year.
You always gave me hearts or key necklaces for Christmas and I cherish them ,when Maddy came to San Diego we were out and we both grabbed the same necklaces at a store and they were identicle hearts.
I thought that had such significant meaning with a rarity such as that.
I loved you Bobby, everyday,year no matter what we always had eachother & I feel you have left Maddy for me in your place because I know when you made me that promise when we were kids that you meant it and you showed me you meant it every day every year for decades xoxo456xoxo

October 24, 2008

....Well, after over 3 years Maddy flew down for a long weekend, what fun we had .We spent time healing and shopping and boating and walking the beaches ect ..I really needed that more than I even knew !
I can honestly say I think I'm through the roughest part with you gone, I can breath again :)
I feel you around all the time, its comforting.
Jen moved back home, I can't wait to see her .
I know good always comes my way from devestation, and I have Maddy & Dusti and the kids & so many new friends now because of you . thank you for that , thank you for her , we will always have our friendship and although it could never "replace" yours, it's comforting to know 1 of my closest friends is somebody you loved so dearly :)
Your brother misses you so much, he made me think about a time when we were on the traintracks with your dads new blue truck (shh)and got stuck in RockyHill and you said ,"damn wish we could call Jamie."(no cell phones back then)
Alot of stories we've been sharing lately. It helps to talk.
well Chasen is going to be a "scary monster" for Halloween and Stevens going to a bonfire on the beach unlike what we would usually do ,go to cromwell hills lol !
miss you much 456 Mer

~~P.S.~
On your birthday Steven recieved an award in the NAVY for making 1st class leading petty officer at the ripe old age of 16 !...nice ceremony on base at Camp Pendleton ..
Since you were at every major event in his life I think he was feeling pretty down that you weren't there , he asked if we could stop at this place on base ,and i said of course , well ( and we both know steven ) he took me to a site where the very first baptism took place out west here to say a prayer for your birthday ..
It was an amazing "adventure" and I snapped a pic of Chasen at the cross for you & 1 of Steven in the truck (he was not happy ! lol )and on base for you ...
The kids miss thier godfather very much .
love & miss you always ~Mer~

..Hi :)
This is the longest I've ever gone without us talking .I was looking for Rhode Island Robs # on my dash when i scrolled and saw all of yours :(
My mind went strait to that song we loved "don't blink" " your 6 yrs old and you take a nap , you wake up and your 25 & your high school sweetheart becomes your wife don't blink" :)
I'm glad to have so much to share about you with Maddy,Robyn,Heather,Beckie,Angie,Dusty,Melis , Chris ,Bruce ,Tiff,Krissy,Jen,Jeff & Jamie :)..... the list is long...
I am going to start going through alot of our pictures as I can and make copys for everyone to share.
You are very missed by each of us & will always be loved and Uncle Teddy says "got dannit rob your not getting my ace of spades ! "
love and miss you forever 456,

Happy Birthday Rob. This year I'm 2 days late..last year I was 2 days early. But like I told you last year..There's no reason why I wouldn't stop whatever I was doing to tell you happy birthday regardless of what was going on. Aidan is coming up on 10 months old now and getting to be quite the chub. He's a trip. His 4th tooth is coming in finally. And his hair is getting long and curly. But he's doing great and getting ready to start walking. I show him your pictures alot, and now he's starting to say mamma/dada. I know you are watching, and we are thinking about you. Happy Birthday!

Think we all are having hard time being 6 months and a top if that your birthday coming around. You are missed by so many that loved you. Is great that Jaime can IM me and we can share are feelings like we did last night. So your brother!!

Merry Brinckerhoff

September 12, 2008

Hey Rob,
Almost your birthday...wow ,this has been a very rough few months for me . Jen still cries when we try and talk about you,a little more time i guess .
Bert is doing OK for now and we still have no determination of cell structure :(
the hardest part is not being able to pick up the phone and talk to you in the middle of the night or when i can't sleep ,after decades i still can't let you go . Last year when we went out and picked out and cut down "THE" Christmas tree of "all" Christmas trees it reminded me of when we were kids doing the same for Mom with Reed and Mike ,ect ..
I've done what you've asked and will keep my promise to you and the boys ..damn i just miss you :(
nite for now clyde xoxo

Rob, July 4th was not the same without you. It is getting warmer here. A few of our friends and I were talking, laughing about our first date together, remembering being in Delaware and that old man driving around in his golf cart, staring at us. He was upset because we were, well you know........I told your mom the story and we both laughed. This summer will be hard, especially since we spent our entire summer together, traveling and just having a great time. Summers will never be the same.....for any of us. We will all miss you and are very lucky to have had you in our lives. I remember the night before..........how much you were so happy and all four of us on the phone, making plans and just having a great time. I know what I meant to you, you made sure to let me know.......I know the Truth and that is all that matters and I thank you for letting me know and getting it ACROSS to me, the things you needed to say.
Tommy and everyone misses you. Paula has a few pictures she is giving me. I made a copy of your birthday picture and gave it to them, along with your hat, that Tommy had given you.
One day at a time.........Thank you for making me see what I wanted out of life, and I will never settle for anything less.
It's a girl Rob...........it's a girl.

Hey Rob,
This morning as i was driving i heard your and Maddys song that you use to play over and over and over ,grrr lol...."here without you" by three doors down...and thought about the long all night talks we had while playing cards with Uncle Ted & Melis & Heather and ect...finally Uncle Ted said " gotdang Rob, go get her " and we all laughed & agreed, she would have been an integural part of "our" family and a blessing ... I am glad to have shared all the love you had for Maddy & all the fun with her ,night after night I play the "what if " game , but I know better , and you know I do ...I still wish Maddy had moved but I know that you were coming west and the thing you were looking forward too the most was going to see her ..lots of happy thoughts and excitement :)
I don't know how I will get through without you , the 1 day at a time thing is hard enough....love you, Me xoxo

Now more than ever I feel that song "I'm Here Without You" you would play in your phone to me and all the other silly things you would do. Brings a smile to my face remembering things. Miss our talks and miss you very much.

Hi Rob,
Your still everywhere I am .
I still can't box your clothes . All of the kids miss you :(
All of the family misses you :(
I heard " Love will find a way " by Tesla the other day , you sang that to me in it's entirety after Billy died with your guitar in front of everyone at "our" bar in Misquamicut beach ....I have to live without my confidant and it's not easy ... I looked at the handprints that you made with Steven & Cassy & Mom 16 years ago and again with Chasen this past year and put my hand in yours ,said a prayer, cried my eyes out and smiled that I have nearly 3 decades of memories to share with your sons . They are getting big and absolutely adorable ! I know when you broke down in March and told me that you "felt " like it was time to be a dad and make a new start and you sent me more pics & you sounded so excited about the "Dad Adventure " I was so happy for you...
Your still everywhere I am !
Love and Miss you , Mer :)

I found piles of pic's we have taken over the past few decades and they were so much fun to look at and go back in time and remember how much fun we always had ..
We miss you very much bobby !

My Deepest sympathys goes out to Rob's Finace' Rose and to his family, In this time of sorrow. Knowing that he is no longer in pain should bring you peace. Remember the good times you had together and that should bring yourselves some solitude. He will always be in your hearts and minds.

Rob, it's been a month already, it doesn't seem real. The loss is too much. I went to our place where we would go to feed ducks and seagulls, it wasn't the same without you. You are everywhere. Good thoughts, Good memories, all GOOD.

Rose Hirst

April 16, 2008

Rob, it is gorgeous out right now. Wish you were here to enjoy the weather. I miss your arms, your laughter, our long talks about our plans and our dreams. It was raining last week and on my break, I just sat and watched the rain and thought of you. I think about our time together all the time. I feel you and I know you have my back. I was reading a text message between us and what is strange, is the fact that Cindy had sent me a poem and some of the words were exactly what you said to me in that IM. I get the message, Love you.

Rob went out last night and was with all our freinds we had together here. We had a drink on you and talked about all the good times we all had together. Hey Greg told me what you did with my G35 that night you took him for a ride. How fast! LOL. Talked with your brother too and shared somethings. brought happy memorys. Still missing your daily calls. In my heart forever Love Maddy

Rose Hirst

April 12, 2008

Rob, last night on my break, you reminded me to think of the time that you and I were driving in the snow and you did donuts on our street. I kept asking you to do it again and again and you did. We were both laughing so hard. Remember when Chris took me for a drive in his race car? He told you I screamed like a typical woman, but I asked him to do it again. You both teased me about it.
I will never forget those good times, because our relationship was nothing but great times, with a few bumbs, but you really did show me how to take a chance and experience new things. Doing donuts in the snow, getting into a racing car and flying down the road, going into the ocean over my head for the first time, petrified, having you hold me up so the waves didn't knock me over. Teasing me about water shoes and not knowing that crabs do not only live in the Chesapeake bay, but the ocean. This loss is painful, the grief unbearable, but when you come to me in my dreams and thoughts, you remind me to remember our good times and our love. I start school in August and graduate in June, wish you could be there, but I know you will be there in spirit. Making you proud, I know you wanted this for me and us.
Miss you and love you, Rob

Never does one feel oneself so utterly helpless as in trying to speak comfort for great bereavement. I will not try it. Time is the only comforter for the loss of a loved one.

Rob, I miss you honey. You would of been proud of me today. I took Ashley to the bus terminal in BOSTON and didn't get lost. Well OK, I do have GPS. I talked to your mom the other day, we both miss you so much. I may have good news, but of course you would already know what it is. I just wish you were here....... The weather is miserable, but as you said, I will get used to it. I took Ashley to Salem and showed her around Beverly and Salem. She loves it. Yes, I can hear you now, You giving tours and you still get lost yourself. Summer will be hard, we had so many plans what we were going to do.
Love You, Always

Rob, It's hard living in our Apartment without you. I miss waking up in your arms, going to sleep in your arms, and all the fun we had every moment. I feel your spirit with me and your visits to me in my dreams. I am making you proud with my new job and enrolling in the nursing school program that you encouraged me to do. I know you still have my back and it is showing. I miss your laughter and jokes. I miss your little quirks. You and I are forever soul mates and I love you.

TENNESSEE
--- for Rob

How could I have known things would end like this
No warnings or harsh words, a goodbye kiss
You had to find yourself, you'd lost your way
Things just went so wrong on that fateful day
How was I to know?

Come home to me, tell me you're not gone
Come home to me, don't leave me here alone
Come home to me, and tell me we will be
forever love, in Tennessee.

I'll remember all the good times we had
And I'll try my best to get past the bad
Over time I know that this pain will ease
The ones you left behind will find some peace
How were we to know?

Come home to me, tell me you're not gone
Come home to me, don't leave me here alone
Come home to me, just so you can see
the best part of us in Tennessee.

All the things that we'd been through
The things we said and didn't mean
I'm glad you got to see his eyes
Just like yours, the deepest green.

Come home to me, tell me you're not gone
Come home to me, don't leave me here alone
Come home to me, I want you to see
We were meant to be in Tennessee.

The best of us
was meant to be
forever love in
Tennessee

Rob, my better half. My best friend. We may not of spent years together, but as we said, we were soul mates. We will meet again and now you really do know how much I love you and that It was real.
You were loved by many friends, me, and your family.
Remember these three things you always said
YOU are wonderful
YOU are beautiful
and I am a lucky man
I was the lucky one, I had you.
No one can ever take away what we had. I will carry your spirit with me because I know you would want me and everyone else to stay strong and live life and most of all LAUGH.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

I Do Believe


There is nothing I can do,
to make him come back
There are no words I can say,
that can replace his words you long to hear

There are no answers I can give,
that will satisfy your questions
There is not another soul I can introduce you to that will ever replace his
And, there is no love I can offer that will ever replace the love you shared

I can not promise your broken heart will ever be complete
I will not say it could have been worse
I will not deny it was a tragedy
I will not lie and tell you he will come back

He never really left

I do promise he hears you when you speak
I will say he loves you no matter the distance
I will not deny he is in a better place
And, I will not lie; he is waiting to greet you someday

He is in every step you take
He is in everything you do
He is the air you breathe
He is every beat of your heart

He is like the wind. You can not see him...but you will always feel him
