Wow....this really touched me.
I didn't know you, but I wish you Godspeed and as little suffering as possible.
Good luck on this journey.

May the gods bless you and keep you always, Rob.

I never even knew you, other than the little I read from your posts, but right now I feel like I've known you forever. You're a truly inspirational soul, I'm sure all of us who read this post will remember you always.

I believe all souls will meet again someday, so this is more of a "see you soon" than it is a goodbye.

As George Harrison once sang...

There comes a time when all of us must leave here
And nothing I can do or say can keep me here with you
Nothing in this life, but I've been trying
That can philosophies the art of dying

Belive me, for though there are times when your hopes are fading
When things so very strange become ordinary
And always sitting through the months of lying
And that is when you learn the art of dying

Are you still with me?
But if you want it
Then you must find it
But when you have it
You may not need for it

And when the times when most of us return here.
Backed by our desires to be the perfect entity
And living through a million years of trying
Did you realise the art of dying?

Can you believe me?

Lots of love and strength to you and yours. You will be missed dearly.

best of luck to you rob. i know you will enjoy your time there away from all the worthless worries here.

and let me just say this to everyone else. i dont know how rob got his melanoma, but i know how i got mine. from the sun. people dont realize how important it is to wear sunscreen regularly if they are going to be exposed to the sun. never did i think as a normal kid who probably spends less time outside than others that i would be getting skin cancer removed when i was 18 years old. We caught it early, and they supposedly removed it all, we will see at my next checkup. anyway, i urge you to wear sunscreen if you are going to the beach or a park or something even for an hour. at least on your face. Take this seriously because cancer doesnt discriminate. and if you have been exposed to the sun often in your life, make an appointment with a dermatologist to get your skin checked out, you may thank yourself afterwords. take care everyone

within a world full of hate,mistrust and greed
there is always a beacon of light and hope
that reaches out and touches the compassion
and love inside of us all.

thank you for sharing these beautiful,beautiful
words with us rob.
you will be missed but not forgotten.

You played music for 30 or so years and no doubt made a number of people feel something great... thanks for your gift, Rob. We all come and go on this planet, some leave an amazing peaceful message and I must say yours has done just that. You won't read this but I'm also sending you the good vibes, enjoy Nepal and enjoy the feeling that you've given many. Your post means heaps to many of us.

Rock forever and ever & peace to ya,
Dan.

A truant finds home...and I wish to hold on...
But there's a trapdoor in the sun.... immortality

Pacomc79 · October 2003

Peace be with you Rob. Nepal is a beautiful place. It was a joy conversing with you. We'll all miss you although you say it's Rob's last gig, I don't see it that way. See you on the other side.

ledfloyd · October 2003

best wishes rob, hope you find the serenity you're looking for in nepal....

pearljammer · October 2003

After reading this, I had to put on a song, for Rob and for myself, so I can send him good vibes. Such bravery I have seen only a couple times on this board, and it's something to be admired. Wow.. :(

~~
And I wish for so long, cannot stay..
All the precious moments, cannot stay..
It's not like wings have folded, cannot say..
But without you, somethings missing, cannot say..

Holding hands are daughters and sons,
and their faiths have fallen down, down, down.. down.
I have wished for so long,
How I wish for you today..

We all walk the long road,
There's no need to say goodbye..

All the friends and family,
all the memories goin round, round, round.. round..
I have wished for so long,
how I wish for you today..

And the winds are blowin,
and the skies keep turnin grey..
And the Sun is setting,
the Sun will rise another day..

Aooh hey, hiey.. hey hey hey..

I have wished for so long,
how I wish for you today..

I have wished for so long..
How I wish for you.. today..

We all walk the long road..
We all walk the long road.

Sonique Reducer · October 2003

Rob,

I never knew you and you are not likely to see this, but I was touched by your words and inspired by your decision to live out your final days on your own terms. Everyone should be so brave and lucky. Good luck on your trip(s).

PureandEasy · October 2003

God bless you. I hope your final days bring you peace and happiness.
