My Blue Eyes.
Robert Wilson Kopler was born in Warsaw, New York on January 26, 1962. He is the younger of two children. Robert went into the banking industry and remained in that industry for approximately eighteen years. In 1982, He moved to Houston, Texas. In July of 1985, Robert and Barry Harnamji got together and we remained together until May, 2007. During that span of 22 years, we adopted a total of four dogs, lived in our house for eighteen years, loved one another and took care of each other.
Robert Kopler was my Life-Partner for twenty-two years, but,
Twenty-two years was just not enough.
Our Story:
Robert changed my entire perspective on life, love and all that was important. Life handed us many unforeseen and overwhelming challenges but we persevered, in spite of them.
When we met, Robert was working two full time jobs. He had always been independent from very young, generous to a fault and stubborn as the proverbial mule. He's always known what He wanted and would not let anything get in His way. As time passed I realized that Robert was the perfect person for me. We lived our lives as best we could for the next several years until life intervened, as it normally does, with something painfully unexpected.
At the end of February 1996, Robert experienced a massive stroke that left the right side of His body partially paralyzed. He became disabled at the age of 34 and I took care of Him, since. The following years meant a lot of rehabilitation to help regain His independence. The subsequent years meant being in and out of hospitals, battling additional complications and each bout took more of a toll on His poor body.
Robert endured more complications than any one body should ever have to handle. In spite of all the complications, though, Robert's amazing lust for life, the support of all who loved Him, His strong spirit and unending stubbornness, Robert made it through the worst times any one person should ever have to experience. I saw Him at the brink of death on so many occasions, only to be snatched back to me at the very last moment. I seldom use the word “awesome†to describe anyone but it’s the most befitting of words to describe Robert Kopler and all of the adversities He overcame.
I have never felt more helpless and hopeless, though, as I did while Robert was in the hospital and then when He came home to recuperate. As the years continued I watched the body and spirit, of this most vibrant and beautiful person, begin to slowly decline.
On May 8th, 2007, His body could bear no more pain or suffering. Robert was in my arms when He took His last breath. It was the most painful experience I have ever known and one for which I shall never overcome. I struggle through my loss of Robert each day.
I Love You Forever, My Beautiful Angel.
Additional:
Robert Kopler was truly inspirational. In the financial industry He managed a large number of workers and won banking competitions. In His spare time He made outfits for family and friends with His sewing and knitting skills. Robert once knitted me an amazing sweater, which was the best Christmas present ever. He was a great cook and had a great sense of humor.
Robert Kopler was my greatest inspiration and had a major impact on my artwork, unbeknownst to me. My latest portrait of Robert, done January 6th, 2008, is my favorite and one of my best.
Creating the slide shows and photo books was a very painful undertaking, but, as painful as it was, I had to do it for Robert. Most of the photos I hadn't seen in years and they evoked wonderful, as well as painful, memories I had long forgotten. It took a lot out of me, but it was all I could do the keep my sanity. I wish He could have seen them. Robert certainly was stunning.
Finally:
There are not many things in this life that I have been unable to handle. All of the complications that Robert experienced, beginning with the stroke and throughout the years, forced me to re-evaluate so many aspects of life that I had taken for granted.
The most difficult part of all was not the responsibility but that I believed I could not tell anyone anything about what was going on in my life, for fear of losing my job, just because of who we were. I could not afford to lose my job and be unable to provide for, and take care of, Robert, so I kept our relationship a secret out of my own fears. My biggest regret is keeping this beautiful person, whom I loved for over half my life and our lives a secret for so long. Forgive me, My Love.
The most important person in my life was my biggest secret. I kept all of His pain and suffering inside, for so many years, as much as it killed me to do so. I will forever regret it.
For this, My Love, I am truly sorry. Please forgive me.
I am thankful, however, that I was the one to take care of Robert when He needed me and I am also fortunate that He was there when I needed Him. We enjoyed as much of life as we could but there were still so many things we had yet to do.
Robert Kopler was my True Love and My Soul-Mate. I would do it all over again.
Robert Kopler - My Blue Eyes,
You Are My Life's Love and I Am Eternally Yours.
I Love You, Forever.
Barry

Moon was but a Chin of Gold
A Night or two ago --
And now she turns Her perfect Face
Upon the World below --
Her Forehead is of Amplest Blonde --
Her Cheek -- a Beryl hewn --
Her Eye unto the Summer Dew
The likest I have known --
Her Lips of Amber never part --
But what must be the smile
Upon Her Friend she could confer
Were such Her Silver Will --
And what a privilege to be
But the remotest Star --
For Certainty She take Her Way
Beside Your Palace Door --
Her Bonnet is the Firmament --
The Universe -- Her Shoe --
The Stars -- the Trinkets at Her Belt --
Her Dimities -- of Blue --
~ Emily Dickensen
What I wouldn't give
To have you in my arms again,
Breathe your scent
And snuggle close to you.
I want to watch you sleep,
See your chest rise and fall
In peaceful slumber.
Let me lay my hand
Over your heart,
So I can
Feel it beating
Beneath my touch.
I want to be
Lulled to sleep
By its rhythm

ALL night I watched awake for morning,
At last the East grew all aflame,
The birds for welcome sang, or warning,
And with their singing morning came.
♥
Along the gold-green heavens drifted
Pale wandering souls that shun the light,
Whose cloudy pinions, torn and rifted,
Had beat the bars of Heaven all night.
♥
These clustered round the moon, but higher
A troop of shining spirits went,
Who were not made of wind or fire,
But some divine dream-element.
♥
Some held the Light, while those remaining
Shook out their harvest-colored wings,
A faint unusual music raining,
Whose sound was Light on earthly things.
♥
They sang, and as a mighty river
Their voices washed the night away,
From East to West ran one white shiver,
And waxen strong their song was Day.
♥♥
~♥~GOODNIGHT PRECIOUS ANGEL ~♥~
Try To Imagine
★★ ★★ ★
Try to imagine what its like
When I see you all below
I miss you all so much
This you surely know
★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★
Try to imagine my pain
When I see those tears you cry
If only you knew the beauty
Of my home up in the sky
★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★★ ★
Try to imagine the day
When we will all be together
God calls us all back
And we will be apart not ever.

Memories are roses
Blooming evermore
Full of fragrant sweetness
Never known before.
Life must have a meaning
Goals for which to strive
Memories are lights that burn
To keep the heart alive.
