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?
