Sweet Memories

Well it's almost 3 in the morning here in Illinois and I can't stop thinking about Robert. I've been laying here trying to fall asleep, but just cant...

So I thought I'd share some memories with all of you of my cousin Robert:
Where do I begin...
It's so hard to compile them all up, but I'll share a few...

-One time when we were younger...we were playing in the fort him and Chris had built in their backyard and we found a snake. Well Chris, Jake and Robert decided to be-head this little snake we had found. I still remember telling them not to do it, but they did. And then Robert was teasing me like he was going to touch me with the snake head. I still remember screaming so loud.

-My Aunt Ellie has some lime trees in her backyard and when we were younger, we would pick up the limes that had fallen off the tree and just 'chug' them at each other. I still remember having the smell of limes on my hands afterwards.

-I remember us all sitting in Chris and Robert's room and playing the video game Mortal Kombat for hours.

-I remember going camping for my 9th birthday at Lake Perris and Aunt Ellie, Chris, and Robert came too. I just remember us having so much fun.

-Robert was always 'over protective' of me. I knew he would always be there for me if I ever needed anything. I remember him telling me that his friends thought' I was cute', but he had told them that he made sure they knew that they would never have a chance with me, 'his little cousin'.

-I remember telling him about Daniel before Robert met him. Robert would always say that "no one is good enough for his cousin" and was trying to be all 'tough man' when he met Daniel. But later that night after they met he told me that he actually really liked Daniel and gave me his 'ok' on him.

-I still remember staying up for hours chatting on AIM with him about the most random things when we were in high school.

-My brother, sister and I would always pronounce Robert's name like "Wabert" and every time we'd say it to him, he's always repeat it back in an echo. It always made me laugh.

-He would always call me "Pimpsta" and he was my "Gangster". I think I was in like Jr High when we came up with that. We thought we were so cool. My last conversation with him on the phone, I still remember him saying "What's up pimpsta"...It was just our thing I guess.

- One time when I was with Robert, I was really upset about something and was crying so hard and I remember him he just trying to comfort me. I knew it really upset him to see me sad. He really had a kind compassionate heart.



Wow... I have so many memories and I will truly cherish them forever..
