There are no words a mother can say for the loss of her son. I only know that my life as I knew it has forever changed and will never be the same. I long to hear his voice, read a goofy text, see a funny pic. To hear him say " I LOVE YOU MOMMY." Seeing his lifeless body and his beautiful face without that smile on it is a hard one to see. I have no words to describe how I feel for myself, his Dad and his brothers and all the many people who's life's have been touched in some way by Dylan. He was my son, my friend and I was honored to be his "mommy." Fly High my baby boy and until I see you again watch over us and have fun in paradise where you can play all the ball you want!
