Robert was born and raise on Maui. He went to Staint Anthonys grade school and then to lokelani, and Maui high. Robert was only 16 1/2 when he was killed on kihei road on his bike, I remember the night like it was yesterday and yet it will be 15 years ago on may 2, 2016. I also remember how much he loved baseball and the big smile on his face when he got his drivers licenses. Robert was just at that age where he was so looking forward to all the things that life had to offer him. There's not a day that goes by that my heart doesn't ache for him and what could have been. There is no relationship like that of a parent and child. It is such a special bond, and so powerful that its strength endures time, distance, strife and even death.The death of a child is the only sorrow that we refuse to let go. Other sorrows we seek to heal but this wound we feel it a duty to keep open, and cry over in solitude. Robert was such a gift and his loss just seems so wrong,He should still be here with his family and fishing with his brother. There were no goodbyes he was gone before we knew it, and only God knows why.
