What objects most remind you of Robert? Have a photo?

Tammy Martin

The clouds, sun and the moon. Sterling was very in-tune with the nature of things and always said for us to keep looking UP!!! He loved taking pictures of the clouds and nature scenes. As many of us know...the clouds were his favorite! As you can see from the pics that follow. These are just a few that I found on his phone and camera etc.

What are your best memories of time together?

Answer this Question

Tammy Martin

Sterling and I spent a lot of time together daily. He was always there for me when he knew I was having a sad day. I was always there for him...daily...through his happy and sad days. We shared a lot of laughter and tears together over the years. He knew me better than most people. He was always concerned about me and wanted me to be happy in life. He was a shoulder to cry on at times and I was for him. His struggles were real and my heart would break every time I felt so helpless.... it's a terrible feeling when you know there is nothing you can do or say at times to make your child feel better. But I tried no matter what...

If you could send Robert a message now, what would you say?

Answer this Question

Tammy Martin

I would tell my son how sorry I am. I'm sorry for failing him, even though I tried my best. I'm sorry for not having a better "father-figure" in his life to teach him the things he would need to know as a growing young man. The only thing I'm NOT sorry for is telling my son every day of his life that I loved him and I believed in him. And he knew this and I knew that he loved me as well. He is truly missed and loved so much by so many. If he had only known.....

Did Robert have a favorite phrase or common mannerism?

Answer this Question

Tammy Martin

Well he was truly "one-of-kind"...lol. He went through many trials and tribulations but always seemed to overcome them. He suffered with such depression, anxiety and Bipolar Disorder that ultimately in the end... it took him away from us way too soon in life. As many of us knew, Sterling loved to have a good time with his friends...one of his favorite quotes I believe he would say with his friend, Chris W., was "We don't drink to get drunk!"...
