In Loving Memory Of ROBBIE PATTERSON Oct. 10, 1959 – June 12, 1986 I’m not sure they realize what they ask of me when they ask me to pay tribute to you each year. I want to write beautiful things, things that are worthy of you and all of the people that miss you. It gets harder as the memories fade from my mind. I struggle to hang on to what is left. If I heard your voice again, would I know it was you? The fleeting memories of jumping into your arms or sitting on your lap, they’re not just faded photographs, I remember how I felt. So I scoured poetry for inspiration, and all the beautiful poetry written, there’s only one thing to say today … I miss you on your birthday. Happy Birthday Robbie! Love, Mum, Dad, Jesse, Molly, Teresa and all the rest
