50 years ago today

….they took away the “good” Kennedy. Robert F. Kennedy. Bobby.

Robert Kennedy Was assisinated exactly 50 years ago today, on June 6 1968. And something died in all of us. I was four years old and the TV images from the killingnis one of my forst memories. My parents sitting quiet 8000 kilometers away from the murder, watching the news on TV. My mother crying. I remember her words, “they got him too”.

Bobby was the one carrying our hopes. The hopes of a new world, on his shoulders.

When I grew older I read about it and reaöized that Bobby Kennedy was the engine behind his tragedely lost older brother. He was on his way to become President of the United States and nobody will ever know what he could have achieved.

He was the one. The one with the brilliant mind and the ideas.

Bobby Kennedy once said;

“Some men see things as they are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were, and ask why not”

One of my favourite quotes of all times.
