I was walking back from Ford Chapel today, coming back from church benediction and on my way to the Library.
I don't know why, or how, but I felt as if I saw you today.
I thought I heard your voice call out, "Hey Al"
I turned around, looked over and saw no one.
Then I realized, to my awe that I was standing by the maple tree that you used to sit next to--to read books--
Brother, I felt as if you were there.
Where you ? To visit? Maybe?

It's been 3 months, since I last talked to you. I miss you bro, you have no idea,
Sometimes I go to class, do everyday things, and then I'll talk to some of our friends,
they mention you or talk about you--and it brings back memories

They gush forth, like a wound being opened
My heart aches, brother, and sometimes I cry so hard thinking,
Rob its hard for me to understand that I cannot see you again
Today, As i walked back to my apartment, I thought about you and our conversations,
Laughter, Jokes, Dying laughing so hard because of the jokes you used to tell,
I used to think that someday, when we were finished, that we would be able to see each other
To meet your children, and you meet my children,
To be able to meet again during our 50th graduation anniversary,

I miss you bro,
Watch over me, bro
Watch over your family, bro
Watch over Allie, bro

I pray, I pray, that you are at peace.
I knew you as a good person, a good soul, a sincere spirit
May the Lord God see that, I pray the Lord, With Everlasting Mercy, be Compassionate


Your brother and friend,
Al




PS. You are right, Robbo, life goes too fast.  :'(

and there is not one moment that i don't thank you all for all your prayers for him and for his family, 'te. Today was his 3rd month death anniversary; so I did a benediction for him today in Church Mass. It helps a little, but everytime I see his girl friend, Allie, I have to hold back my tears because I can tell that she still is not over it. Its hard, i can tell, for her. Its been hard for all of us.

 :'( I am so sorry about your brod in law, more so luuy kaayo kai he was a papa  :'(
Bitaw, 'te it is very hard to get over something like this, specially if it was very unexpected, sudden.
I was able to talk to his mom and dad, and his mom keeps in contact with me through email, and it is really good to know that his parents care about his friends kai mo reach out man sila; actually iyang mama mo anhi raba na siya TB from time to time kai gi taga-an siya nako link sa site dinhi. Naka-kita siya sa dedication ni Rob sa obituary, na affected baya siya,'te. Na hilak intawn.  :'(
'te what hits me most is that he was the eldest child, with younger siblings. Ako, i'm the eldest, 'te. I could not even bear to imagine not being able to see my ondoys and my inday ever. They don't know how much their Kuya loves them so much, ang loss ni Rob --made me show my love for my baby bros the more. Kai i cannot, cannot fathom leaving my little bros like that. Intawn, di ko kaibao ngano why he did it, 'te. Naa man siya severe clinical depression. Pero wa man siya ning ingoon namo, gi hide ra jud to niya; kai bao lang ko kai gi ingoon man iyang mama nako. Paita pood 'te, what tears me apart is that I could have done something 'te.  :'(
