On your fourth birthday, Uncle Ronnie, your cousins, and I wanted to give you a bicycle. When we went to pick it up at Sears, they didn’t have it. None of us had ever seen your Uncle Ronnie angry, but he took things to the point of talking to the CEO of Sears, who finally told the Amarillo store manager to let your uncle have any bike he wanted. They didn’t have the size he thought you needed, but he found one that he thought would “do.” As we drove to Claude, bike in the back, I thought your Uncle Ronnie might die of a stroke—the vein in the web of his hand pulsated at over two hundred beats per minute—his face still red with fury. When we got to Claude, Dale and Ronnie went to the garage to put the bicycle together while the rest of us ate your birthday meal. Insisting that they had to know if the bicycle would “do,” the two grown men refused to eat. When they finally came into the house, they were hungry and made us wait some more instead of having cake & ice cream and presents. You kids were ordered to stay in the house and be nice. (Were Ronnie and Dale nuts?) It’s a birthday party—more specifically, it was your birthday party! In a few minutes, I heard someone quietly shut the front door. A quick survey of the room and a head count confirmed you were the one at the door. I hollered, Timothy Randall, you were told to stay inside. Your reply was priceless. “It’s all right, Aunt Donna, I didn’t see nothin’ yellow. I have never laughed so hard in my life as you came into the room with that smile of yours. Then you hopped on that yellow bike that fit you perfectly, with an ear-to-ear grin that was brighter than the sun that bright May 4th. Every time I think of you, your smile lights up the entire room as if the bright yellow sun were right there in the room. So, while most people send somber flowers of white, purple, and blue with greenery—I’ve sent colorful flowers with lots of bright yellow so they remind me of you. I love you, my precious child. Rest in peace—the nasty fight is over, but your love and our love for you lasts forever. Timothy Randall Roberts, you will forever be my Sunshine.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I knew Tim at APD. Always shared a smile. God bless.
