My Love,

You’re my best friend, my soulmate, my twin flame. I think about you every morning and when I lay down to sleep. I miss calling you at 12 every day to wake you up for work, and I miss calling you calling me when you’d get out of work, sleeping on the phone with you every night we were apart. I miss being in your arms and looking into your eyes talking about our future. You’ve brought so much peace and happiness into mine and the kids lives. We’re so lucky to have you and though you may no longer be here we will forever treasure the memories of you and the times we had you. I’ll forever be grateful for all the signs you send to remind me you’re still here through music, random things falling and visiting me in my dreams. You really are one of the most beautiful souls to walk this earth and you’ll always be my best friend. Until I see you again my love, keep our angel baby safe and wait for us. We love you so much and miss you even more my Dominic. “In this life and the next.” 444 – Jazzy.

I didn’t know how to write this about you, so I’m writing this to you… “Dom Dom, to say you’ll be missed would be an understatement. If you were a color, you would have been yellow, your energy was always like the sun. You were funny and wild, smart and stubborn, you always made me laugh. I’ll forever remember you, and as the days pass I will find as many reasons as I can to talk about you, to tell your stories. I’ll find as many reasons as I can too not let the rest of you leave this earth, and you’ll live on in my heart forever…Legends never die. ” Love you and will forever miss you, your cousin Jaelynn.
