Rob...
I still hear your voice in my head sometimes - especially when I sit still long enough. I miss our long talks. The kind where hours passed and it never felt like enough time. You always made space for conversation, for connection, for me Your kindness wasn´t loud, but it was steady. Real. The way you loved your family, the way you cared about animals, and you're friends you valued you're family in life. That was you. You felt deeply.The world feels different without you in it. Quieter. And some days that´s harder than I expect. Waiting for a call or a text or coming to see you.
I hope you knew how much you were appreciated and loved by many. How much you mattered. You weren´t just someone I talked to - you were my friend who left an imprint on my heart.
I carry your kindness with me.
I carry your memory with me.
And I will always miss you.
Love Always,
Niece
