We can only wish we knew what really happened. Don't be fooled; time does not heal or mend. It only makes you realize all the things your child will never get to do. Watch over us, Brian, until we are all together again. We love you and have always been so proud of you. Be at peace. We had no choice but to let you go. I will never say goodbye to you my son. I will be proud of you forever, and love you longer<\\q> Love You Forever, Mom, Dad and Your Brother Published in Newsday on 10/14/2005.
