My point in writing The Forum was simply a respectful enquiry as to the preferred input apart from the obvious.
Because I happen to be Robins dad although I appreciate such comments as Jennie has made really does not put me in a special category of person.
Admitted I drool at the sight of him, break into tears, swear like hell, and am awfully jealous, to mention just a few irritating things.
In return he beats the hell out me!
So me is just me and me was just involved with the phrase I coined, Our Hero some while ago, when we were all building hard and damn fast.
What none of you know is of the relationship that exists betwixt The Hero and I,
and that I can only describe as an affair of the heart which has blossomed each year.
Just as blossom falls and gives way to the fruit that it hides, the tree grows and matures and this in my opinion is exactly what is happening to Robin.
I think that the fruit will be well formed and of fine quality ... so stick with it lad .. lad I hear you say, well yes to me that is what he is.* Robin combs hair and looks in the mirror yet again and says God you are beautiful*.
Here's the news son .. it all lasts only so long and after that its the time of reckoning, not with me, heavens no, just you with yourself and thats the tough one. Byron will be nothing more than a pin point upon your portfolio of successes as your career surges forward and upward.
Without prior knowledge I guess you will have landed a completely different part to that which has just passed by the end of the year.
Will then if this happens Byron live on, or slowly diminish into the shadows of time .. its a question I have asked myself many times.
