A letter to Rob…

posted in: Letters to Rob | 0

Grief from losing you is… Watching an old tv show, and remembering who I was when I used to watch it. Being out, seeing people living their lives and remembering a time when I was that person. Keeping your name and number in my favorites, on my phone. Keeping your room exactly the same, your drawers still filled with your clothes and holding on to every material thing that I have left of yours. Knowing that if I change these … Read More

Reclaiming My Life… a visit from Crystal

posted in: Reclaiming My Life | 0

I came by the Reclaiming My Life house before my class and weeded the flower box and cut the dead stuff out the flower box too. I’m truly amazed at how well these flowers have grown in these last three to four weeks. It’s also kinda like saying me and all the women who still live here or who have also moved on are growing into beautiful flowers just like the ones I planted in this flower box back in … Read More

Running to Rob’s House

posted in: Reclaiming My Life, Uncategorized | 0

I have had a goal to run to Rob’s house for a long time. I decided today was the day. I was running on 97 and saw the police were closing the road ahead. When I got to closure, the cops tried to make me turn around, but decided to let me continue. I saw that there was an accident, and that there was a dead deer in the middle of the road. I continued on my run and hopped … Read More

A letter to Rob… from Sky

7 years ago you left many of us heart broken Rob Lofink. You probably don’t even know how often so many people think of you. I hope you do! I always have the same dream about you. We are in our math class from 6th grade and I always see you sitting at your desk. I walk by your desk, and I am overwhelmed with this sense of confusion because I remember in my dream that it’s you. I can … Read More

A letter to Rob… from Brooke

posted in: Letters to Rob | 0

7. 7 years.So many things I wish I could say and wish I could have done. But Rob you should be so proud of your mom (Tammy Lofink) and all she’s done. Keeping your memory alive and saving lives. Hope you’re playing with Joey today and eating pizza without cheese on it, and playing with fire like you and Jake Halstead used to do and always scare me 😅. Keep looking out for everyone down here.
