Hey, Uncle Rob! Your birthday was a little bit ago, you would've been 41. I still can't believe it's been almost four years since you've passed. I feel really bad about forgetting your last name or else I would've written sooner. You may not have been my uncle by blood, but that didn't affect the bond we had nor the love. I'm 17 now, the last time I saw you I was 12-13, it's crazy how time flies. I wish you were still here to see me graduate next year, I know it would've meant so much to you. I'm going to college to become a psychologist and of course business management, I can just hear you saying how proud you are. You told me I could do great things, you've been a big motivation for me. The last time I saw Little Man was just a few months before you passed. I saw the photo Erika posted from 2018 and he looks so much like you!! It's crazy how big he is now, I remember him in his stroller with his chubby little cheeks! I remember when you came back around and you started giving me side hugs haha- I was a little hurt because I thought you just didn't love me anymore but dad reassured me telling me you were just doing it out of respect of me becoming a woman. I would give anything just to give you a big bear hug right now. Payton is 15 and so tall! He sounds so much like a man it's unreal. You would be so proud of him, he works with dad and enjoys being an electrician. When I talk about you with dad I can hear the hurt in his voice, he loves you so much and it broke him when you passed. I have never seen him like that before, us being around him was really the biggest thing keeping him from going crazy. I know everyone has their time but it's so unfair. That shouldn't have been your time, you should be here with Little Man, coming over all the time like you used to. I just wish I could've said 'goodbye.' I remember when you would come over back in 2011 and you'd have your pockets full of blowpops, tootsiepops, or a ton of change; you'd throw it all at the end of the hall and watch Payton and I scramble trying to get as much as possible. You'd come over with your jump rope and do really cool tricks, leaving Payton and I mesmerized. We all miss and love you so much, Uncle Rob! I remember when I got older you'd have me play BINGO on your phone for you because you said I was your 'good luck charm.' Gosh I wish you were here, I'd talk your ear off haha! I have so much to say, I'm remembering so many things that have happened since you've been gone while typing this that I'll just have to come back and write you some more!! I love and miss you, Uncle Rob. I'm so grateful to have had someone like you to call my uncle. <3
