23 Years Later...We Shall Never Forget |

From: Marguerite Vigliante Date: 05/14/2006 Message: On this five year anniversary of the September 11th tragedy I would like to say a prayer for Robert Vicario. He was my childhood sweetheart. We grew up together on East 49th Street in Brooklyn and I have never forgotten him and never will. He was the first boy who ever kissed me. We were always together. He was the kindest, gentlest person. My parents loved him. When I heard about his death the first thing I did was get out the first love letters that he sent to me when I was 11 and he was 10 and read them again. They still smell faintly of (his father or brother's) aftershave that he sprayed on the paper to impress me all those years ago. I cried and remembered his sweet smile. The last time I saw him was 25 years ago when we were both just starting our adult lives and we wished each other the best. We kissed goodbye and I never saw him again. From what I know of Robert as a boy and young man I know he must have had the best in a life that was ended way too soon and I hope that his family has the comfort of knowing what a wonderful guy he was. And so I say a prayer for Robert, my first love. |
