Robert Michael Harrison, known to everyone else as Rob. Born on the 2nd January 1992, and sadly ended his own life on the evening of 30th March 2008, at the age of just 16, such a short life for someone so special.
He lived in Birmingham with his cousin, although his funeral was in Newcastle, nearer to the home of his parents Julie and Chris, and his younger sister Jess, all of whom miss him very much.
Rob didn't open up to many people, but he was close to a select few, and he knew that they would all have done anything for him, just as he would've done the same for them.
Although he was only young, he had a daughter, Emma. She was only 6 months old when he passed away, but I hope she remembers her father when she's old enough to wonder about him. He was an amazing boy, she's lucky to have him as a dad, even though he's not with us anymore.
He wasn't the most academic boy you'll ever meet, in fact he rarely showed up at school, but he was really into sports. He loved his football, both playing and watching, it didn't matter what team it was. He played every Sunday without fail, usually dragging someone along to stand in the cold and watch! He also had a season ticket for Birmingham City, and was pretty much a true Blues supporter, sticking with them whether they were up or down (down usually being the case).
He was persistent: he'd never give up if he wanted something, even if it seemed like a lost cause, and he'd never break a promise that he'd made if there was any way that he could help it.
He was also thoughtful. He'd try his best to make those closest to him smile, he'd remember the smallest details, and he had a way of making everything better without being able to change a thing. That's one of the things people will miss most about him; his ability to cheer everyone up. He'd always put them before himself, no matter how bad things got for him or what his plans were at the time, and everyone appreciated it, even if they didn't show it at the time.
He loved parties, and was partying whenever he got the chance. He'd have a huge party in January every year, a joint party for New Years and his birthday, it was always such a happy occasion. Shame he won't be around to throw any more like that, but we'll keep the tradition going for you Rob.
He was the type of person to try anything once. He didn't want to live with regretting missed opportunities he should've taken, so he took his chance with everything whenever he could. A pretty good way to live, I'd say.
He wasn't perfect, no. But who is? He made mistakes, but I guess everyone has. He tried his best to make up for them, and his apologies were usually so sincere that no one could stay mad at him for long.
He meant so much to me. I know I'm not the only one, he was loved by a fair few people, and he'll leave a hole in many people's lives now that he's gone. We love you Rob. It's such a shame you left us, but I think we're beginning to understand why you felt as though you had to. I hope you're happier now, and we'll never forget you. R.I.P.

My ltttle girl did this and i still ask WHY?????
I hope your are at peace now, watch over the people who love you and your baby, my thoughts are with them all, RIP, and god bless love julie (Victoria amy langley mum) x x xx
my son Ian took his own life too..my heart goes out to you
Reflection
Another day for you to wonder, another day for you to mourn
It wasn't my intention to go before the coming dawn
My pain was deep within my heart and troubled head
It wasn't my intention to go without words said.
My frame of mind seemed normal, or so I heard them say
It wasn't my intention not to see another day
I did not mean to make you suffer or cause you so much pain
It wasn't my intention to never see you again.
Despair and confusion left my aching mind unsure
It wasn't my intention to suddenly close life's door
If only I could give you reasons and brush the tears away
It wasn't my intention to leave you and not stay.
I did not mean for you to grieve, now left alone to cry
It wasn't my intention to leave you, forever asking why
As the burdens of life's worries slowly ebb from my heart
it wasn't my intention to tear your soul apart

Another sad mum
My Precious Son where are you now
Are you just beyond my view.
I see you in each rainbow,
And in the morning dew.
And in each and every sunny day,
I'll see your lovely smiling face.
And with your very special charm,
That no-one can replace.
I never got the chance to tell you son,
How much I loved you so.
This we should do every single day,
But I'm hoping you will know.
My heart will never mend again,
For it's broken in two.
Though my Mother love will go on and on,
Until I join you once again,
I will look for you my precious son,
Through sunshine and through rain.
God took you away from any hurt,
And from those who caused you pain.
So you can rest content son,
That no-one will hurt you again.
And so goodbye my precious son,
Until we meet once more.
For we will love you forever.
Of that you can rest assured
My son also took his own life xx
i know i wrote this whole thing, but there's still so much i feel i haven't been able to say. what i actually feel for you is impossible to put into words. i'm getting slightly stronger, but i can't get through anything without you. i need you back, i can't do this without you here. i miss you. i need you. i love you, always, and that's a promise. i'll never forget you baby. x
