LITTLE ROBERT posted by CAROL DUFFY | | MEMORIES FROM CAROL DUFFY {NEILS MOM } | LITTLE ROBERT CAME INTO OUR FAMILY IN 1991. HE WAS IN THE SAME CLASS AS MY SON NEIL HE BECAME A SON TO ME AND ANOTHER BIG BROTHER TO MY OTHER CHILDREN. HE WAS INSTANTLY ADOPTED MY MYSELF AND OTHER MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY. MY SISTER ( AUNT SANKIE) AS ROBERT CALLED HER WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE TO TAKE ROBERT AND NEIL TO THE MOVIES OR DANCES THEY SPENT MANY NIGHTS AT AUNT SANKIE AND UNCLE JOE'S HOUSE. YOU DIDN'T SEE ROBERT WITHOUT NEIL AND YOU DIDN'T SEE NEIL WITHOUT ROBERT. THEY BECAME LIKE BROTHERS IF THERE WAS A FAMILY GATHERING AND ROBERT WASN'T THERE EVERY ONE WANTED TO KNOW " WHERE LITTLE ROBERT WAS" HE WAS A VERY AFFECTIONIATE PERSON AND ALWAYS HAD A NICE WORD FOR YOU. ROBERT STAYED WITH ME AND NEIL, NIKI,PATRICK,BRIDGET FOR A FEW WEEKS AT ATIME HE WOULD GO TO SCHOOL WITH NEIL AND NIKI COME HOME AND DO HIS HOMEWORK THEN PLAY WITH BRIDGET AND PATRICK. ROBERT WOULD GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF HIS BACK AND THE LAST DOLLAR HE HAD HE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDED HIM. I HAVE ALOT OF GREAT MEMORIES OF ROBERT. I REMBER WHEN THE GROUP KRISS KROSS CAME OUT NEIL AND ROBERT WOULD GO HTROUGH THE HOUSE SINGING THEIR SONGS AND WEARING THEIR CLOTHES BACKWARDS I PLUCKED THEIR EYEBROWS TO LOOK LIKE THE BOYS IN KRIIS KROSS. ROBERT WOULD SOMETIME COME TO ME AND SAY "I DONT FEEL GOOD COULD YOU FEEL MY HEAD TO SEE IF I HAVE A FEVER" OF COURSE HE DID'NT HAVE A FEVER HE WAS REALLY CONVINCING WHEN HE ASKED. I REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I SAW ROBERT IT WAS WHEN HE CAME BACK TO SEE HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY MY DAUGHTER NIKI WENT TO THE AIRPORT WITH MARCUS TO PIKE ROBERT UP BUT SHE SAID SHE WAS LOOKING FOR LITTLE ROBERT AND HE WALKED RIGHT PAST HER SHE DIDN'T EVEN RECONIZE HIM. THEY CAME TO SEE ME I WAS SO PROUD OF HOW WELL HE LOOKED THE POSTIVE THINGS HE HAD GOING ON HE WAS RADATING PRIDE. I HUGGED FOR A LONG TIME I TOLD HIM THAT I LOVED HIM AND WAS HAPPY THAT HE WAS GETTING HIS LIFE STRAIGHTED OUT. ONE EASTER I WAS DATING STEVE HE AND ROBERT CAME OVER TO MY SISTER SANDRAS AND MY NIECE LISA HAD MADE THEM EACH EASTER BASKETS THEY WERE BOTH SO HAPPY I THINK EVERYONE WAS CRYING. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT ROBERT BUT SOME I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP BETWEEN US. THIS I WAS SUPPOSED TO READ AT ROBERTS RECEPTION BUT I WAS PHYSICALLY UNABLE SO IT GAVE ME MORE TIME TO REFLECT ON ROBERT AND HOW MANY HEARTS AND SOULS HE HELPED. I FEEL LIKE I HAVE LOST MY SON AND IN MANY WAYS I HAVE THEREN ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW WE FEEL. I KNOW ROBERT COMES TO SEE ME SOMETIMES. ONE NIGHT SOMETHING WOKE ME UP AND I LOOKED UP AND THERE STOOD ROBERT. I HAVE A GRANDSON NAMED BENJAMIN HE IS 4 YEARS OLD AND WHEN WE EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT ROBERT WAS AN ANGEL HE LOOKS AT NIKI'S PICTURE OF ROBERT AND SAYS HE IS AN ANGEL IN HEAVEN. WE ALSO TELL HIM HE IS WATCHING OVER US. BENJAMIN SAYS NANNIE THAT ANGEL ROBERT COMES TO SEE ME SOMETIMES WHEN I AM ASLEEP AND WAKES ME UP TO TALK TO ME. HE IS ONLY 4 SO HE DOESNT TALK ABOUT MUCH THAT HE SAYS TO HIM. HOW WOULD A 4 YEAR OLD MAKE UP SOMETHING LIKE THAT. ROBERT WILL COME TO ONE OF US AND TALK TO US ONE DAY. I HAVE MY GOOD DAYS AND MY BAD DAYS WHEN I THINK ABOUT ROBERT, BUT THEN I JUST TURN IT OVER TO GOD AND HE HELPS ME. SYLVIA I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I THINK OF YOU OFTEN. I DONT HAVE A EMAIL ADDRESS BUT I WILL GIVE YOU MY DAUGHTERS NIKI SO WE CAN START TO TALK IF YOU WOULD LIKE. WE HAVE SOME PICTURES OF ROBERT AND MY KIDS IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
