Hey Do-Do, It's been 17yrs today! For some reason it's really been hard this year! I just looked at your picture the other day and I just broke down.
I really miss you, just thinking about the man you would have become. Don't know when, but I'm looking forward to seeing you again, meeting Jesus and seeing other family members and friends.

Still CANNOT believe you're Not among the living!
But I know each day that passes,it's bringing me closer to you!
A lot has happened since you have been gone,but I know you know this,because you have been one of our GUARDIAN s, since you passed away.
Soooo many unanswered questions and soooo many regrets! I'm Always thinking shoulda,coulda,woulda!(should have,could have and would have)
I'm Always thinking how lonely I am without you and auntie Bettye! You are gone,but Never Forgotten!
Loving and missing you Everyday!

Dorian, with the holidays fast approaching and there had been so many deaths, I can't help but think of you. I wonder if we would be close (I hope so) ,if I would be aunt, what you would be doing. I miss you because there was a strength inside you that I became dependent on and I didn't even realize it until it was too late. I love you and miss you so much!
November 10, 2013
Aww Man! Dorian it's getting close to the holidays and Jasmine& myself are pretty bummed out. We're trying to get it together,but it's getting harder and harder everyday. You know how I used to trip about, taking care of you if you got into any trouble and if Auntie Bettye got sick and couldn't do nothing for herself. Well HA, the jokes on me, looks like me and Jazzy are to be taking care of your grandmother. THE LORD,said GOTCHA! What I would do to take care of you and Auntie Bettye at this moment! My Heart is sooooooooooo Heavy right now. Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going, but I know THE LORD is going to see us through! I know HE didn't bring me this far to Leave me. I know you never met my godson King and his sister Dyala, but I know you can see them. Please be their Angel too! They need THE LORD and you just as much as I do,maybe more. I'm alresdy crying over coulda,shoulda,woulda and what might have been if you were still Alive,but I know everything happens for a reason,but my HEART hurts sooooooooooo bad,espeacially around holidays,your birthday and your anniversary. Next year is your tenth we're going to try to do something big and nice LORD'S WILLING! I guess I'm through keeping you updated until the next time. Rest In You, The First Apple of My Eye!
Loving& Missing You All The Time!

I know that you were watching over me during my surgery (brain) surgery last month and I know you are always watching over me. I love you Dorian and miss you like CRAZY!!!

Dorian, I have been thinking about you alot more recently. I know I have said this before, but it feels like just yesterday that you left us. That might be because the memories are so clear and it just doesn't feel real. I wish you were here to meet my boys. I try to talk to Dylan about you as much as possible so he knows all about the person he was named after. I was able to introduce him to your mom this summer, which meant a lot. Being a mother, I can't even imagine the pain that your mom has gone through losing you. She has always been a strong woman though and keeps her head up everyday. We all love you and wish you were still here. Until we meet again. I love you!
