Dear Robbie, A year has passed but it still feels like yesterday when I received that call that took you away from us. Time has flown, but the pain remains.
I wonder if life would be any easier had no one told me what happened. I would’ve just assumed that you were too busy with other things to be in touch or working away at sea. Wouldn’t that have been less painful?
I still wake up some mornings hoping I had a bad dream, hoping to hear through my mum what's been going on with your house, hoping you’re around. Reality hits and tears wash away all the hopes.
Why did you leave so soon?

A year has passed since that fateful day,
When God chose you to take you away.
Through our sorrow we bear the pain,
Of never seeing you again.
In our hearts we hold you dear,
Our love for you is still so clear.
We love you so,
We will never part,
You always be deep within our hearts.
So God bless you Rob until the day doth come,
For all us to be as one.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
