My Inspiration
One day I went down the stair and saw my mom on the couch and I was so happy because I get to ask my question. I wanted to know about how I was when I was a toddler/ baby and I wanted her to tell me about Robby, so I asked mom.
“Okay, sure. When you were a baby you didn’t want people to touch you. When you were born you had low blood sugar and they had to draw blood from your feet because that made you associate touch with pain and didn’t like people hold you.”
“Oh ok, that explains why I never like to be touched when I was a little kid right?” I said in surprise.
“When you were a toddler and you were crying. You would cry out Obbbbiiiee. People Thought that you were crying for me. But you were calling for Robbie and I would call upstairs.” She said in a singsong voice, “Robby your baby's calling you.”
Robby was more of a nurturer than a brother to me. When our parents are at work he would take the parenting role with me and my other brother.
Robby is my oldest brother. When he left for college, I was going to kindergarten and when he left I thought my world was ending. I would ask my mom and dad if we could go visit him once a week. We were only able to go visit him once every few months.
Years later he dropped out of school to help his girlfriend with her schooling. He got married to his high friend Jessica. Had a baby a year later. A year after that they moved about 2,000 miles away from me to Phoenix, AZ.
hen I had my sweet 16 birthday party. The theme was royal blue and purple. That day my mom said to me "Robby is on a flight in for your birthday party today..." "YAY, I will get to see him for a few da-" I am so happy to see my brother (Obbie)." but he will only be here today and he will leave tomorrow morning." I was a little sad about that but at Less, I will see him for a few hours I thought.
When I got to the candles light ceremony part of the night. The second candle is for your sibling both of my brothers gave a little speech. In Robby's speech, he stated that "you were a pain in my butt..." I got mad that he would say that and wasn't going to l let him finish his speech. when I did he said, " But because of that I am a bitter father to my kid and my future kids." Everyone awwww at that even me.
He will be 32 soon in October. He has 3 rambunctious boys Amri is 7, Ori is 3, and Kai is 1. They act just like him when he was their age. He is trying to finish his degree and he works full time. he is a busy dad and that means Robby and I are not as close as we were before.
