Here’s the weekly round-up of Robert Pattinson pics and quotes of the day that we post on our Tumblr.
“A soul and a heaven must exist because good people aren’t rewarded enough on Earth. I always liked that idea, if that makes sense.”
-Robert Pattinson

In honour of all those who died on 9/11 we are going silent for the day to remember all the lives that were lost. We will not be tweeting or updating the site.

It’s been ten years since September 11th 2001. Ten years, 3,652 days. Somehow it seems as though it happened only yesterday… If you close your eyes, I’m sure you can see the images that were clearly imprinted on our collective minds 10 years ago today.
This post is dedicated to all the people who lost their lives on September 11th, to all the heroes who sacrificed their lives to save others, to all the family members and loved one who lost someone dear and still grieve today and to those who survived. This post is dedicated to the NYPD, the FDNY, the Port Authority, the Paramedics and to the regular people who risked their lives to save others and still wonder why they survived and others didn’t. This post is also dedicated to all the men and women, of all countries, who have fought and still fight in Iraq and Afghanistan today and to those who didn’t make it home… You truly are heroes.
It’s been ten years. Ten years ago we promised we would never forget… and we haven’t… we never will.
This post is also dedicated to Battalion Chief Orio Palmer who lost his life saving others on 9/11. It is our contribution to the 9/11 Tribute Movement. Please also take a moment to remember Robert E. Pattison, who died in the North Tower on 9/11. His family members have contacted us and you can find his story here.
Here are our collective stories and pictures of 9-11.

All week we’ve been asking you guys to send us your 9/11 stories. This morning I received an e-mail from Emily. Emily is not a ToR reader, nor is she involved in the Rob fandom in any way. Her e-mail left me feeling shocked, as most 9/11 stories usually do. This one was a bit different though. It came from someone who had lost her cousin on 9/11, however each time she tried to Google his name she would only stumble on Robert Pattinson fan sites. You see, her cousin’s name is very similar to Rob’s. His name is Robert Edward Pattison.
I debated with myself about the best way to write this post. I wanted to honour her cousin’s memory without putting the focus on Rob. He deserves to be remembered for who he was and not because his name is similar to a Rob’s. He was a star in his very own way and he meant the world to the people who knew him. I also felt that it wasn’t fair to him or to his family that every time they googled his name they were unable to find anything about him. Hence this post.
We felt like we owed Emily something. Everyone deserves a special place to be remembered. Maybe the next time when she Googles her cousin’s name, she’ll stumble on a post about him on a Rob site. So we dedicate this post to Robert E. Pattison and to Emily and her family. May his life never be forgotten and may his star always shine down on them.
In her e-mail Emily said the following:
“I thought maybe your readers would enjoy reading an article about a real hero who shares a couple of similar names with your hollywood one.”
and she sent me a link to an article that you can find below.
From The Wicked Local:
He called it “the top of the world.”
It was the 110th floor of the World Trade Center’s North Tower and that’s where 40-year-old Bob Pattison worked at the job he loved, tending transmitters for WCBS-TV.
“The last time I saw him in April, we talked about life up on the roof,” his younger brother, Brendan, would say during a eulogy at St. Charles Church. “Bob had told me how amazing the view was and how truly awesome the power of the wind was.”
Woburn native Robert “Bob” Pattison was working in the wind Sept. 11, 2001, 10 years ago this week, when a terrorist-piloted jet slammed into the North Tower at about 466 mph. His family has been led to believe he and his CBS coworkers survived the impact but perished when the structure collapsed nearly an hour and a half later. It took some four years for his partial remains, identified through DNA, to be returned to Woburn.
He was one of nearly 3,000 who died during the day’s coordinated attack
You can read his full story here. Emily also left new links in the comments.
I detagged the new Breaking Dawn poster for you guys.
