I'm sorry I didn't write sooner. I didn't know what to say. I'm sorry we didn't have much time to be friends. I'm sorry you're gone when you were the giver, the caretaker, the lover. I never fathomed how much it would hurt when you were gone. I miss you. I love you. I'll never forget you, darling man.

Owen, it all seems like a bad dream, like you can't be gone. I feel this deep burning pain in the pit of my stomach, but I also know you are free from the constant pain that cancer had you in. Wherever you are, I know a little piece of you will forever be with me. I love you big brother.

Wow. I can't believe you are gone. I got the phone call a little after 11:30, I remember sitting there stunned, asking over and over again if they where sure. You being going isn't right, the world lost a light today, my world will be much darker without you in it. Not a single day will go by, where I won't think of you.
Love you crazy man.

Sweet, caring, dependable, trustworthy and a true gentlemen are the just a few of the words, I will use when telling people about your life, my sweet son. The pain I feel is enough to send me to my knees, the only thing that is giving me any hope and any promise is the letter you wrote me. It was just like you to be worried about others, even when you were to sick to speak. I love you.

Hey Sugar bear. It's me Lizzy. I've been acting like a total manic since I heard of your passing. One moment; I am crumbling in tears, the next I am laughing hysterically remembering some of the amazing times we shared. I remember how we first met so many years ago. I saw you on the subway, you looked so cute with your giant camera around your neck -c
