I'm "just a guy" & all of this eloquent prose some of the others have written is way outside my comfort zone, but I just wanted to add another voice to those who offer condolences for your loss. Instead, I'm going to celebrate his life, pouring a bit of my best single malt scotch and quietly toast to the boy who made me cheer so many times over the past several months.

We experienced cancer & 5 years of infertility before getting our little one. Having a little one after such a struggle does make them more precious, more grateful to deal with sleeplessness & diapers. That said, I'm so sorry for your loss, no parent should have to outlive a child. I'm so, so, so deeply sorry for your family.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964738839023429646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391621506207953335.post-42403749463838118852015-09-04T11:23:42.183-06:002015-09-04T11:23:42.183-06:00God bless and comfort you.God bless and comfort you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6391621506207953335.post-67514148766941839822015-09-04T09:58:46.968-06:002015-09-04T09:58:46.968-06:00I have been following Dominic's journey throug...I have been following Dominic's journey through mutual friends on Facebook.

Your words about your son and his struggle touched my heart. It is very evident how much you both loved him and how you gave him so much joy in his life. <br />I know there are no words that can help you in the pain that you are in now, but I too lost a baby at only 3 days old and that was 18 years ago. I was overcome with grief and no one really knew what to say and I didn't really know what to say back. But at the time, I talked to a grief counsellor and to this day I remember one thing she said that has stuck with me. She told me a story of an old lady in her eighties who was talking about her baby who had died. She said it doesn't matter how much time passes, you will never forget your child or the pain you have. She thought of her baby that died every day for her whole life. Time makes it easier not to cry at every thought and in time you can recall your stories and they will bring a smile to your face instead of tears to your eyes. It somehow comforted me to know that my child would not be forgotten and I still consider her as one of my children when people ask me how many kids I have. He is your miracle baby and you are and will always be a mommy and daddy to Dom.

We are Amanda Crawfords parents and have been following your blog. Many times I have sat at my computer and cried tears reading your words trying to describe what was happening to him and you all as a family too. We will never understand, but we can certainly empathize with you through your well written account of the events for lack of a better word, we were able to somewhat grasp the hardships of the illness and the reality of the outcome. Love to you all and hoping with time you will remember the good times more than the bad and also the two of you will hold fast together!
