Daddy's Eulogy

Created by Jack 6 years ago

Hi everyone,

Time, we always think we can put things off till another day, if today shows us anything its that time can sometimes never last long enough; and can be taken away too easily.

Dorian Cole Craig was the name of my son, I was honored to have Dorian in my life for 14 weeks but I tell you all now that I imagined Dorian in my life for much longer and writing this has been an experience I wish to never have again.

A lot of you here will feel guilty that you never saw Dorian enough or at all and I say please put aside those thoughts and remember that none of us could have imagined his life would be so short.

I can't express to you all how much I wanted Dorian from the minute I knew he existed, the plans and idea's that I had, my dreams and aspirations for him and the love that grew minute by minute.

From the moment Dorian was born he was perfect everything I could've wished for and more. I didn't get the chance to see those plans or aspirations come about, I didn't see him take his first step, hear him laugh or talk for the first time, burst with pride when he hit his first punch bag, have those conversations with him that only a father and son can have, I didn't get the chance to see him one day have his own children. Or feel him holding my hand telling me he loved me when I passed away an old man.

Dorian was loved by everyone that met him, even more so when he gave us his wonderful smile that shone across his whole face just like his mother's.

Me and Heather adored him from the moment we saw him, his eyes a wonderful blue I'll never forget, to say we loved him with everything we are is an understatement, he was perfect, he was amazing, he was our handsome little man.

The pain we feel is indescribable and hard to comprehend, we think about Dorian all the time, we have held him tight, stroked his face cuddled him and told him we love him, we have said our goodbye's but he will always be with us, in our memories and in our hearts.

Dorian, I don't believe that you are really gone, I hope that wherever you may be you are safe, happy, and know me and your mother will never stop loving you. There won't be a day that passes I don't think of you and I hope one day to see you again, until then sweet dreams my son.
