I GET EMAILS LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME (by Lucas)

I get emails like this all the time from around the world. People just have saving lots of emails they share with Ro and they have them because Ro touch something in the special way he have to touch and encourage people.
I read them some times but not too much because they create in me a strong desire to see him, hugging, have him back, and I know is not possible, but I`m getting stronger and have been enjoy them more and more.

This is one of them and if is going to cause you too much sadness, missing and pain, I recommended you not to read it too often:


hello Lucas
I have been reading old emails,
I'm using this as part of my recovery process
I can imagine you must get 1000s of emails from people
but I would like to send you an old email that Robert sent me
I have been reading it over and over, and I cant stop the tears
I still miss me bad, no one has touched my heart like Robert has
I find myself some days just sit at my desk thinking about him
I don't no if this is a good thing or not, and maybe I need help
I just wish a wish that will never happen, and I'm sure you wish the same
I want to resent this email that Robert sent me, but I'm not sure how you will react
I don't what to bring up past, but sometimes you have to step back to move forward
and I don't want to upset you anymore than you are, but this is now very special to me
and I want to share that little bit of Robert that I have with you
so I put a large gap and you will have to scroll down the page if you want to read it
I hope it doesn't upset you, it wasn't meant too
love
harry

luc said: I remember those emails. Yes brought tears and memories, but good ones. I`m trying to celebrate the warrior Ro was. That kids and parents learn how sad and bad is the process of been a victim of sexual abused kids, specially if the kid get countagous with any sickness the offender would have. And above all, the totally conviction about God`s reality in his life. That so strong faith in God, even in the worst and darkness moments. And the forgiveness towards the person who hurt him.
I`m sad about my grandpa, God knows how much I am and will miss him, but, my grandpa was 82 yrs old, Ro was just 14..................he was just 14yo.

My heart is yours. Take a piece of it if you need a hug kid.
I love you all.


luc




P.S. Please, I`m no body special. I`m just a kid. I`m just luc.
