We could tell by the look on his face.
“My dad always wanted a silver bracelet with a heart charm, so we brought him one so it could be with him in the coffin. The amount of people that came showed how much they loved him.” “To me he was family and one of the few people I would call brother. I always felt we were inexplicably intertwined - in short: best friends for life. Little did I know how short his life was.”
“The waves of sadness come over us when something reminds us of him. A song, an old message, a photo. I wake every night at 4am, the same time when the police told us what had happened.”“Thomas is not here, albeit he is always in our hearts. Rose says many times that he will never walk through our front door again. We are left only with our memories and a picture of Thomas hanging on our wall,” he said.
