rotu Posted December 25, 2009 #1 Share Posted December 25, 2009 My son 16 year old son, Robert died in a car wreck Tuesday in Richardson, Tx. I am posting here because he loved cruising, especially on the Royal ships. His favorite cruises were on the Rhapsody when it was in Galveston and the Grandeur when it was in N.O. I read Cruise Critic almost every day, although I rarely post, I still feel like part of the Cruise Critic community and wanted to share with my fellow cruisers. I ask everyone to please say a prayer for Robert. Thank you, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrrobby Posted December 25, 2009 #7 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Rotu, I lost my 16 year old brother ( I was 24) in a car wreck. I feel your pain. It was most difficult on my parents of course. All I can say is I am very sorry to hear this and time really does help heal the wounds. They never go away of course, but it does help. I am deeply sorry. You need to have strength at this time. Hang in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabiney Posted December 25, 2009 #15 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Rotu, We took our first cruise a few years ago (Christmas) after the loss of our oldest son.

rotu Posted December 25, 2009 Author #17 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Thank you for your prayers. I'm sorry to post on Christmas day. Everyone is asleep in my house and I didn't even realize it was already Christmas. If its OK I would like to tell you about Robert. He was a kind, sweet kid that everyone loved. He was about to become an Eagle Scout. He was company commander in his high school ROTC and was talking to Congressman Sessions about attending West Point, although his true love is the Arkansas Razorbacks. He wore a Razorbacks shirt nearly every day. He was a member of the National Junior Honor Society and he was a Dallas Mavericks Ball kid. Robert will be truly missed by a lot of people.

spammie Posted December 25, 2009 #18 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I am so, so sorry for the loss of your son. It sounds like he was an amazing young man. There truly are no words to ease the pain. I can't even begin to imagine losing one of my two children. God be with you and your family. Take comfort that your son is now in God's hands.

Jt4428 Posted December 25, 2009 #21 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I am so sorry for your loss. My husband was killed in a car accident when we were 27. It was almost 22 years ago, but something I will never totally get over. I remarried and my son's birthday is today (Christmas). He is 17 today and is taking his driving test next week. He is so excited, but it is very scary. My thoughts are with you. It is heartwrenching to lose someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geovet Posted December 25, 2009 #22 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. This is the day we are happy for the child, a gift. But we also remember His Love by his Passion. It's hard to do and maybe easy to say, but I try to give my suffering to him. He will one day wipe the tears away.

steponboard Posted December 25, 2009 #25 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Give What's Left Of Me Away Now that I'm gone, remember me with a smile and laughter. And if you need to cry, cry with your brother or sister who walks in grief beside you. And when you need me, put your arms around anyone and give to them what you need to give to me. There are so many who need so much. I want to leave you something, something much better than words or sounds. Look for me in the people I've known and loved or helped in some special way. Let me live in your heart as well as your mind. You can love me most by letting your love reach out to our loved ones, by embracing them and living in their love. Love does not die, people do. So, when all that's left of me is love, give me away as best you can. Author Unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
