I was thinking today, Rob, about that one time when we were in Walker Annex and pranked Dominic lol. I can still see Dom's face as we plastered his dorm door with all that crap and placed a little note for him, LOL. Aren't we lucky he was a good chum to just laugh about it? Instead of writing us up? hahahaha!

Crazy man. We were crazy back in freshman year weren't we? I still feel bad for your old room mate. hahahaha!

I miss you bro.

I cannot hhelp but think of you today.
It is as if you are here with me again, brother.
I feel you around me, I cannot explain it.

Perhaps it is because your death anniversary is coming close.
Rob, I pray you are at peace.
Be at peace, now, Robert.

2 years have passed too fast.

2 years ago, we were talking somewhere in the cultural center.
You left too son.


Thinking of you today.
God grant you eternal peace.
Amen.

2 years ago, this exact time, Rob, you left us.
You left me.
You left me with a broken heart.
Eyes red with tears
A mind in confusion.

My good friend, I am touched by your memory.
I bless you, bro. Bless You.

I pray to God that wherever you are now,
you are at peace.
And are in the bosom of God's Mercy.

Robert W. Matson,
July, 1985 - November, 2007.

You are missed.
So very much.

Guide and protect me, Robert.
Watch over me, as you did in life.
I love you, Robert.
My brother...

I loved him very much.
More than words can describe.
He was like a brother to me.

He may be gone, but he lives on in heaven,
and that heaven is in my heart.

He will always live on in the hearts of those who remember him.
And someday, hopefully, I may see him again.

In the land of Jesus' Eternal Kingdom.
Where there are no tears,
no imperfections,
no more pain,
no more sadness.

My heart no longer bleeds for him, anymore.
But it still hurts to remember his death.
So young, so handsome, so good, so beautiful a spirit.
The best of us are taken so young.

His family is in our thoughts and prayers.
To the Matson Family,....we stand by you.

And to Robbo~ you already know what I want to say.
It's a given. Watch over me, bro.

I don't know why but today I thought of you.
You know your parents sent me an email.
I wanted to reply to them, but it hurts to think about what to say.
They are reaching out to me.
I should reach out back.
In time.


One of these days, Rob, I will have to visit your grave.
And I will lay red roses on your tomb.
And usher you a line from Percy Bysshe Shelley's "A Lament"

You think I would forget?
In our many conversations, we sat in the Blue Room by Brooks Hall.
I had a mug of coffee and you had tea.
We exchanged poetic verses.
You introduced me to the romanticism of Shelley as I introduced you to the cynicism of Whitman.
ha ha ha.

Sometimes I forget the specifics of our conversations, Robert.
We would change tangent in the heat of debate and conversation.
I guess I will never really get over your death.
Your death was too soon. Untimely. Unprepared. You caught me off guards.
You left a mental imprint in my mind, Rob.

I will forever be affected by your death.
For one minute, one hour, one day you were there.
Then the next. No more.

There are some times, my dear friend, that I would sit in my chair.
With my glass of Tempranillo. Aged 6 years.
With Sade playing.

And in some odd way expect you to come knocking and somehow start another conversation.
You know. Those many unfinished conversations we had. Put on hold.

I guess. The will be on hold forever.

I miss you my friend. I am still mourning you.

It comes and goes.



"On whose last steps I climb,
Trembling at that where I had stood before;
When will return the glory of your prime?
No more -- oh, never more!
 
Out of the day and night
A joy has taken flight;
Fresh spring, and summer, and winter hoar,
Move my faint heart with grief, but with delight
No more -- oh, never more!"

-P.B. Shelley

Robert. You have beaten me. lol.

I am 24, and I turn 25 this coming July 23.

You, on the other hand, will remain 22 years old. Forever.

You once said to me, "No, Al, time is the one that gets the best of all of us."

Its a double edge sword, friend. Time took you first. But you will always remain, that glimmering 22 year old optimistic idealist in our minds and in our hearts.

Cheers to that, my friend.
Cheers to that...

If you tell me its been 3 years since we last talked, i would not be able to believe it, but the truth stands and it really has been almost three years. Three years ago, I was working on my junior seminar for limnology and you talked about that particular play you were taking part in. Oh i forget the name now. Truth be told, i never did go to that play that you were taking part of. Forgive me, Robert.

My good dear friend, I continue to pray for you and remember your memory. Do watch over me from time to time. I promise, one of these days, I'll visit your grave and lay a bouquet of red roses for you.

I miss you, Robbo.  :'(



Ever so much,
Al

Robert, i wish i could talk to you right now.
You told me once that if i ever needed someone to talk to, cry on, you said for me to always come to you.
Robert, i miss you so much because you were my close confidant in the personal matters that i had gone through.
And there are times my dearest friend and brother, that i wish i could just get your personal opinion on.
Just the way it was.

So, here i am, in this situation where i am telling you despite you never returning a word.
I talked to Ally couple of months ago, it seems that she's doing good now. A veterinary student now, and doing well.
You two were always a cute couple. She misses you, Robbo. I can tell.


I hope you dont mind if i drop by from time to time,
to post some thoughts.

Al,

I was cleaning my room today and getting things organized when i found the copy of Nascent Constellation that you gave me.
I find it funny how you always make yourself known as if to tell me that you're there.
So i'm going back to Philippines this July btw.
Yea, our plan to go together in '07 never manifested,
so i'm going back alone in '10.
I wish you could see it with me, Robbo.

robert,
my friend,


why have you gone , why have you gone to the land where i cannot follow?
my heart still aches, robert, hurts to the coming realization of this finality
let me cry with you, let me embrace you again, my friend
if tears could be shed, it would, for i have cried enough, tears fallen enough

the question that remains, that continues to haunt me, is why
why?
i have missed you, our conversations, i have missed my best friend
i miss your voice, now when i need you most, you who i have divulged the feelings of the heart,
have you forsaken me?
why?

someday, robert, someday i shall visit you
and on that day, i shall carry the red boquet of roses and kneel
so that i may lay them, robert, on your grave.

i have missed you.

If Anybody's Friend Be Dead

If anybody's friend be dead,
It 's sharpest of the theme
The thinking how they walked alive,
At such and such a time.

Their costume, of a Sunday,
Some manner of the hair, --
A prank nobody knew but them,
Lost, in the sepulchre.

How warm they were on such a day:
You almost feel the date,
So short way off it seems; and now,
They 're centuries from that.

How pleased they were at what you said;
You try to touch the smile,
And dip your fingers in the frost:
When was it, can you tell,

You asked the company to tea,
Acquaintance, just a few,
And chatted close with this grand thing
That don't remember you?

Past bows and invitations,
Past interview, and vow,
Past what ourselves can estimate, --
That makes the quick of woe!

Life comes and goes,
even the best of us are taken before our prime.
and you are one of the 'bests'.
yes, you are, robert.

Intelligence, beauty, kind heartedness, merciful soul.

I told you once, robert, that there is no such thing as a 'final end',
death, tho filled with sting, is not the end, never is,
for when we die, there is the release of the eternity within us,
and shall be born again to renewal,

i trust, my sweet kind hearted beautiful and loving friend, that you have found that peace you so longed for.

Death is not the end,

These were taken for you, during the first days of spring...
for you...

Robert. I'm thinking of you. I talked to you this time 3 years ago. The last time I laid my eyes on you. The last time we exchanged words.
My heart aches remembering you, my dear friend. Time is supposed to heal old wounds, but your death is as fresh this time of the year.

You passed this world on the early mornings of November 19, 2007.

You are always in my prayers, Rob. I miss you and love you.

God forgive you...

I miss you so much, Rob.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Matson,


Forgive me for not writing to you in person, for the tears that well in my eyes prevent me from writing in paper and pen. It has been almost 3 years since we met at Ford Chapel in Allegheny College to celebrate the life of Rob, and i presented to you that white rose as a token of mourning and of my thoughts and prayers for your family and for my good friend.

I have tried to write to you both these past 3 years, but could not gather the strength to deliver it. In fact, i wanted so bad to visit you both. It has been a wish of mine to visit Robert's grave and lay a boquet of roses for him, and recite a poem that we both discussed about (and in great length) during our tenure as collegians of Allegheny. I trust that Providence will someday take me to that route.

As i write this letter to you, i ask for your forgiveness for not being able to do this personally, and i know you will find this. Because i know that you visit this thread. Please accept my prayers, my condolences on the death of your son, my good friend.

He was too young. But , i am sure that he is at peace now.


Please accept my thoughts and prayers.

Love,
Lorenzo Lucino

-Emily Dickinson

The last night that she lived,
It was a common night,
Except the dying; this to us
Made nature different.

We noticed smallest things, --
Things overlooked before,
By this great light upon our minds
Italicized, as 't were.

That others could exist
While she must finish quite,
A jealousy for her arose
So nearly infinite.

We waited while she passed;
It was a narrow time,
Too jostled were our souls to speak,
At length the notice came.

She mentioned, and forgot;
Then lightly as a reed
Bent to the water, shivered scarce,
Consented, and was dead.

And we, we placed the hair,
And drew the head erect;
And then an awful leisure was,
Our faith to regulate.

O Gentlest heart of Jesus,
ever present in the Blessed Sacrament,
ever consumed with burning love for the poor captive souls in Purgatory
have mercy on the soul of Thy departed servant.
Be not severe in Thy judgment but let some drops of Thy Precious Blood fall upon the devouring flames,
and do Thou O merciful Saviour send the angels to conduct Robert Matson to a place of refreshment, light and peace. Amen.

Incline Thine ear, O Lord, unto our prayers,
wherein we humbly pray Thee
to show Thy mercy upon the soul of Thy servant Robert Matson, whom Thou hast commanded to pass out of this world,
that Thou wouldst place him in the region of peace and light,
and bid him be partaker with Thy Saints.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.



"We have loved him during life,
let us not abandon him,
until we have conducted him by our prayers
into the house of the Lord." Saint Ambrose

Dearest Robert,

As I went for a walk today , by the windy shores of North Lake Shore Drive, I saw the trees blooming. The Japanese maples here in Northern Chicago are blossoming with colors, multiplied by the radiant sun. I pictured you there, sitting by the trees in your quintessential pose with a book on hand. I could not help but smile. Oh my sweet, gentle friend. You are sorely missed.

I wrote to your mother some months ago. She replied and it made me happy to read her written voice.

With Love,
Always,
Your Friend.

May his soul rest in peace, in eternal peace in the bosom of the LORD. He who looks past our iniquities and whose mercy overfloweth.

In contemplation, I would like to share a line from the Book of Psalms (Psalm 25, verse 6-7):

... Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have been ever of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD....

We miss you and we love you, Robert...

Yes, Ate Ging. I still remember it as well , and I can never forget how you were very helpful to me and to my friends in our time of grief.

The sudden loss of a good friend is life changing and creates a vacuum and emptiness. With time, as we accepted his loss, and as our hearts bore the pain, after the tears were dried, then the pain slowly departed.

However, the memory of his brightness and his goodness and positive effect in all of the lives whom he touched will be forever etched in those lives...

Thank You for being there for me in my time of grief.

I miss you, my dear, dear friend. It is hurtful sometimes that I cannot hear your voice or talk to you again.

O most merciful Jesus,
Lover of souls,
I beseech Thee,
by the agony of Thy most Sacred Heart,
and by the sorrows of Thine Immaculate Mother,
wash clean in the Thy Blood
the sinners of the whole world
who are to die this day.

Remember most especially the soul I spiritually adopt
with the intention of entrusting him or her to Thy
Shepherd's care:
I beseech Thee for the grace to move this sinner,
who is in danger of going to Hell, to repent.
I ask this because of my trust in Thy great mercy.

If it should please Thy Majesty to send me a suffering
this day
in exchange for the grace I ask for this soul,
then, it, too, shall please me very much,
and I thank Thee, Most Sweet Jesus,
Shepherd and Lover of Souls;
I thank Thee for this opportunity to give mercy
in thanksgiving for all the mercies
Thou hast shown me.

Amen.

4 years. Has it been that long? You are gone, but not forgotten. I love you and miss you, my dearest friend. You are ever always in my prayers.

We miss you, Robert...

Beloved Robert,

I thought about you today, out of nowhere, the thought of you comes and captures my mind. I was in contact with your mother as well this week. Do you remember what you said to me this time 6 years ago? We were in the annual International Club Picnic at Woodcock Dam with the rest of the group. I can't help but smile at the jokes that you ushered, oh brother, I had a good time with you and the rest of our friends then.

It is surreal that it's been over 5 years.

Miss  you, Robbo.

God, lover of souls, You hold dear what You have made and spare all things, for they are Yours. Look gently upon Your servant Robert, and by the Blood of the cross forgive his sins and failings. Remember the faith of those who mourn and satisfy their longing for that day when all will be made new again in Christ, our risen Lord, who lives and reigns with You forever and ever. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ have Mercy
In your Name I ask and Pray
Amen.
