A few words for Robert...
It’s been a year since we’ve lost you, Robert, and since that day, I’ve been wondering one thing-
How do you say goodbye to your hero? How do you say goodbye to someone who you found that you could relate to so much, to someone who never failed to put a smile on your face when you needed it most, to someone who you just love and admire so much that you feel it in your heart, to someone who brought so much light into the world and into your life?
How do you say goodbye to your hero?
You don’t.
I have learned in the last year that these things don’t stop. There are tears and there is darkness, but the relatable aspects, the smiles, and the love and admiration just don’t stop. And though the light is dimmed, you keep that light shining, just as he did when he was here. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
You don’t say goodbye to your hero, because your hero never leaves you. Your hero is still there, in your heart. Your hero is still your inspiration. A hero is immortal.
Thank you, Robert, for being my hero.
