The Eulogy

Hesto esta escrito mal, pero su familia en Colombia no pueden leer Ingles.

Hay tantas emociones y preguntas que quiren causar palabras y comentarios negativo. No vas a encontrar los aqui. Yo queria celebrar la vida de Robert. Deseo compartir una parte de su historia

En un hermoso dia de en Abril 1974, una mujer dio a luz al hombre que le ensenaria mas amor y ternura a mi y mi hija que pudo ser imaginado possible. Esta mujer, Rosa Reina, crio a Robert en amor solita por anos antes de conocer a una de las influencias mas importanted de la vida de Robert, Jose Sanchez. Robert fue bendecido con 2 hermanitos, Joseph y Carlos Sanchez. Aunque el papa de Robert vivio en Colombia y no se comunicarron mucho, Emirnson Reina tenia el amor de su hijo.

Robert amo ser hermano mayor y quido a su familia entera quando lo necesitaban. Los characteres qual le hico un hombre maravilloso se dejaron ver desde pequeno. Al crecer hasta ser un hombre, aseguro que su familia nunca se quedara atras o con nesesidad. Amo a su humildez. Su primer trabajo real fue en los Estudios Universales. El trabajo con 'Back to the Future'. Desde ese tiempo tenia gran vision. Viajando en el tiempo es gran deseo! 17 anos atras, conocio a su primer amor, tiempo compartido. Desde ese tiempo ha recibido premio sobre premio y promociones de cada organisacion que estuvo. En estas posiciones ha conocido, ensenado, y ha dejado gran imprecion en los corrazones de todos. Esta imprecion y la evidencia de tanto amor por el en estos ultimos dias es increible. Siempre estaba muy orgullosa de el y pense que no pude ser mas orgullosa hasta esta semana. La compania de Orange Lake y la familia Kemmons-Wilson le robo el corazon en los anos ultimos de los 90's or temprano en los 2000's. Ese amor le hizo regresar a la compania en 2007 y lo entrego a mis brazos.

Los que conocian a Robert sabian que le gustaba tener metas dificiles de cumplir. Los que me conocen a mi saben que yo so differente. En escojerme a mi recibio muchas oportunidades amables y positivas para mas metas dificiles. Me acuerdo que Robert tenia muchas reglas para sus relaciones: una mujer sin ninos, no pueden trabar con el, etc y yo rompia todas las reglas. Lo que es de Dios, es de Dios, ninguno de nos dos pudimos resistir. En realidad, ni Robert ni yo estabamos interesado en tener una relacion. El tenia gran planes profecionales y yo queria estar en paz como soltera por mucho tiempo. Pensabamos que una relacion era muy complicado y trabajaba contra nuestras metas. Teniamos mucho que hacer y eramos dificiles de imprecionar.

Me enamore de el porque cuando yo lo miraba, pudia ver su bello espiritu alumbrando. Yo vi un hombre noble. Una persona amable y genuino. Vi en Robert cosas que existian en historias. Todas estas cosas en cara de angelito con su sonrisa bella. El corazon del era tan grande y puro que toco a todas personas. Cumplio con sus metas sin perder su integridad. Lo vi como un Rey. El era my propio Rey Arthur.

Robert era un hombre bien privado. Yo tenia la bendicion de conocerlo en una manera que muchos no pudo ver. Era maravilloso! Era dedicado a su familia y le gusto la vida simple. Siempre estaba feliz y con calma. Cojio los corazones de una nina y su mama y lo lleno hasta no poder mas diariamente con amor y affeccion. Me aquerdo cuando llego a conocer a mi hija, Kennedy. Fuimos para el parque de Animal Kingdom. Se cojieron de mano y empezaron a jugar safari secreto. Estaban arrollidaro cerca de un albol y yo pregunte wque hacian. Recibi un SHH! de los dos porque encontraron a un pajaro azul. Mas tarde en el dia, la nina le dijo que se mudara con nosotros. Me aquerdo pensando, despues de 2 anos la presento a alguien que no es amigo y ella dio las llaves de la casa ya? Desde ese dia fueron inseparable.

Robert siempre estaba feliz aunque le tocaba ver peliculas de Barbie. Habian peleas de piratas, torneos de baile, competencias de karate, y lucha libre en nuesta casa todo los dias. El estaba orgulloso de mi aunque le queme 90% su comida en los primos 1 o 2 anos de nuesta vida y tenias otras dificultades con trabajos domesticos. Robert y yo eramos differentes. Aunque disfrutamos y eramos felizes juntos, no teniamos mucho en comun. Estabamos felizes porque teniamos morales igual y estabamos maravillado uno al otro. Nunca peliabamos. El hacia chiste cuando estaba yo frustrada. Me soporto en todo. Cuando estaba con mal genio, se quedaba con migo, no se escondia de mi. Estuvimos muy feliz y me dio muchas memorias preciosas. Tenia mi 'feliz por siempre' con el. Ninguno de nos dos teniamos idea que esto pasaria tan pronto. Sin contar el tiempo corto que teniamos, no cambiara nada. Valio la pena y mas y yo lo escojaria a el diez veces mas aun sabiendo del dolor que hay de venir. Mi hija, Kennedy y yo vamos a honrar los todo los dias de nuestra vids.

Las palabras que tengo que decir de me esposo pueden seguir por siempre. El va hacer un angel precioso!

This was really hard, the translation is rough and spelled incorrectly but his family in Colombia has a better shot of understanding it.

There are so many raw feelings & questions that cause sad words & comments. You will not find any here. I wanted to celebrate Robert's life, so I will tell you a bit of his story.

On a beautiful Spring day in April 1974, a woman gave birth to the man that would later shower me and my daughter with more love & kindness than I thought possible. This woman, Rosa Reina, raised Robert in love alone for years before meeting one of the most important influences in his life, Jose Sanchez. Robert was later blessed with 2 little brothers, Joseph & Carlos Sanchez. While Robert's birth father lived in Colombia & had little contact with him, Emirnson Reina was loved by his son.

Robert loved being a big brother & took care of his family whenever they needed him. The traits that made him an amazing man were seen in him at a very young age. As he grew into a man, he made sure never to leave his family behind or in need. I love his simple beginnings. My husband was the 'Back to the Future' guy at Universal Studios theme park. Even in his first 'real' job he was a visionary. I mean time travel is a big deal! 17 years ago, he met his first love, Timeshare. He was passionate & dedicated, earning accolade after accolade & promotions from every place he worked. In these jobs, he met, trained, mentored, & left lasting impressions on the hearts of people. These bonds & and the recent out pour of love for him that I have seen are amazing blessings. I was always extremely proud of him & thought that I couldn't be more proud until this week. Orange Lake and the Kemmons-Wilson family stole his heart in the late 90's early 2000's. That love brought him back in February 2007 and brought him right into my arms.

Those who knew Robert know that he loved a good, healthy challenge. Those who know me know that I am not an everyday girl, so he definitely got his share of positive, loving challenges. I remember he had all of these rules when it came to women: no kids, not from same department, etc. and I broke all of them. What is meant is meant tho, neither one of us could fight it. Actually Robert & I were not into relationships at the time. He had his strong professional goals and I was planning on being peacefully single for a long time. We both thought relationships were complicated and distracting to our goals. We both had way to much to do and were difficult to impress.

I fell in love with Robert because when I looked at him, I could see his undeniable spirit shining from him. I saw a regal man. I saw a charismatic leader who was kind & genuine. I saw things in my Robert that stories are made of. All of these things wrapped up in the face of an angel with that radiant smile. His heart was so pure & so big that he left an unforgettable mark on everyone he came across. He strived for excellence without ever compromising his virtues or integrity. I saw him as a true King. He was my very own King Arthur.

Robert was a very private man. I was blessed to be able to see a side of him that no one else could. It was amazing! He was devoted to his family & enjoyed the simple daily life. He was always happy and calm. He took the hearts of one little girl & her mother & filled them until they overflowed with his love & affection. I remember the first time I introduced him to my daughter Kennedy. We went to the Animal Kingdom. She took his hand & they escaped into a secret safari world hunting for animals. They were crouched down by a bush and I asked what they were doing out loud. I got a big SHHH! from them both because they found a big, blue bird. Later, she asked him to more into our house. I remember thinking, oh great, first man that isn't a friend that she gets to meet in 2 years & she plays the move-in card. They have been inseparable ever since.

Robert was happy even tho he had to watch some Barbie movies. There were pirate sword fights, oompa loompa dance offs, karate wars, & mattress wrestling championships all over our house. He was proud of me even tho I burned 90% of our meals the first year or two & had other domestic deficiencies. Robert & I were different. As wonderful as we were together, we didn't have a lot of things in common. We still matched because our values were the same & we were both amazed by each other. We never fought. He usually laughed at me when I was frustrated at something. He supported everything that I did. He was amazing. If I was grouchy, he stayed by me. He wouldn't run away. We had a happy, full life filled with beautiful memories. I had my happily ever after with him. Neither of us knew that it would end for us so soon. Other than the short time we had, I have not a single regret. It was more than worth it & I would choose hi over & over again knowing the pain that was to come. My daughter, Kennedy & I are going to honor him everyday.

The words that I have to say about my husband can fo on forever. He will make an amazing angel!
