I have kind of joked a little bit that I haven't had any stories to share about Robert...it's almost like he is Chuck Cunningham from Happy Days. Some have asked, "Who is Chuck Cunningham?", and my answer has been, "Exactly." For those that don't know, he was Richie's older brother who left for college and was never heard from again...at least not on the show.
Robert is living on an island in the pacific. Yes, I know where he is, but I won't share for various reasons. For one thing, he is an adult and it is mostly just his story to share. Secondly, while he is hardly doing major intelligence work, we just don't need to go there.
Robert has chosen to share very little of his life (and life stories) with us. I could certainly speculate why that may be, but I won't. Andrew and I accept this, and honestly, we aren't really surprised. The part that breaks my heart is that he is missing so many awesome things with Catherine and Thomas, and I can't do anything about it. They adore him and miss him, and he has no more contact with them then he does with us. It is what it is.
I just kind of wanted to put this here, because I don't want people wondering "what happened to the older brother?" We might see him in the next couple of years, we might not. We do hear from him enough to know that he is safe. We accept it for what it is, and we focus on our sweet little family of four. We soak up these days of still having two at home, and are very grateful for it!
