First 1000 with out my brother

Funny my brother never had much interest in offroad racing or Robby up until Robby started his own team and was doing the crossover deal from Nascrap to Baja. He always busted my balls on cheering for Robby and me always playing in the dirt and dunes. Once he started seeing why i enjoy watching Robby and why he is interesting to follow my brother jumped in both feet. He had a I.T. job that allowed him to track every baja and dakar as well as me racing the Ultra 4 stuff. He was addicted! I LOVED IT, having someone to bounce ideas and rumors and showing him and teaching him why certain things were the way they were was fun and got him deeper. His main attraction was Dakar. ..it drove him (and me) nuts with all the issues but kept us both waiting to see what was next! All of his R/C cars boost Speed Energy or another era that i love and he grew fond of "BFG RoughRiders". Some of you may remember him and i on the live feeds of the first year of sst busting on each other ( some times not nicely). But he always had a comment to make ya laugh. This is the first time ive logged onto Planet since his passing in July. Its actually the first time im paying attention to anything outside of breathing since July. If ever Robby was to have a angle following him in a race i guarantee Jase will be watching every move and every mile from heaven. God i fucking miss him and wish i could follow just one more 1000 with him calling me all day giving me updates. RIP Big Brother, godspeed!

I'm very sorry for your loss. I know it is not easy to lose a loved one and carry on in any kind of normal manner. Take care.

Crazy how hard it is to breathe sometimes. Been there. Sometimes distractions help, sometimes they don't. Regardless of how Robby does, I hope you have a good weekend.

Its tough getting the through the day to day stuff behind after such a loss. No words can help but time will. Keep the faith.

Thank you guys, Distraction have been good and bad. I finally found riding my trials bike to be the best so far. The breathing is something i find myself reminding myself to do as that silly as that sounds. It was compounded with losing my Boxer to a brain tumor. My brother July 1st my dog July 31st. July can suck it from now on! Its crazy that im having a hard time getting excited about something im so passionate about.

Aaron, I feel your pain somewhat. My case involved my best friend from childhood who was taken from us and his family by a drunk driver far too early. We went to school together. We were the best man in each others wedding. We were there for each others first born ect.. My friend too, acted exactly how you and your brother did towards one another
. I send my condolences my man and Im here to let you know it does get easier, but never forgotten. I have my days where I may shed a tear. Yet, I have more days when Im out doing things we loved doing together, and I just look up and smile knowing my best friend in the whole wide world is looking down upon me cracking a joke or making fun of something I did. Each situation is different. And Aaron, I know it takes alot for you to come on here and share your story. But if there is one thing I have learned over the years at Planet Robby, someone here will always listen or share. Aaron, you are not alone and please feel free to lean upon us during this difficult time. God bless my friend. Thank you for reading.

Hey Aaron, I lost my dad last year to cancer. We were super tight and I still have to fight the urge (habit) to pick up the phone and call him. the right distractions can help, but the wrong ones can be destructive (been there, done that). PM if I can ever help...
