Re: our big brother (bb)

Librastar70,

To answer your post...

I'm 24 and Robby is 22. I don't think that anything you would suggest to help Robby would scare him.

I am doing good as far as all of this goes, I'm far more concerned about my brother. Thank you for your concern.

Keith's death was very sudden, he was killed in Iraq by a roadside bomb.

What you wrote about him coming accross so strong sounds like it could have been him. He had a very powerful presense.. I can't describe it really, it was just very powerful and very strong.

This is the message you said you got from him:

"I love you and miss you so much, but I am okay. What happened was stupid. It was my own fault for not using better judgement. I can see how much I hurt everyone and I am so sorry. Tell Robby (Robber) that I'm alright and I'm sorry. I am always around, even though he can't see me. The plans we had, he should follow through with, I'll be there."

First thank you for posting this... I'm sorry though because I don't really understand it! Maybe it was intended for another poster? I say this because I can't figure out how he could have used better judgement. He was the gunner in the vehicle, he wasn't driving. The only thing I could think of is that maybe he saw the insurgent who was going to set the bomb off and he didn't shoot him first. I know that sounds crazy maybe, but I don't understand how it could have been his fault. And I don't understand why he'd be sorry for dying. No one blames him or feels like he needs to be the one who's sorry.

Thank you for the words to tell Robby. I will keep your message, please let me know if you get anything else! Thank you so much!

PS My name is Sarah... I don't know who Cindy would be... Could it have been Lindsey? Tweet
