IIHer words, in his song
What she wrote about Dominic, word for word, and the lines it became.
-
What she misses
Waking up to his footsteps in the hallway. His voice on the other end of the phone. His iconic curly hair.
In the song 0:11I wake up listening in the early dawn
For your footsteps in the hallway, but they're gone
I wait to hear your voice upon the phone
I close my eyes and see your iconic curly hair
-
What she misses
Him always being there for his brothers, they’re unbreakable bund. The positive influence he tried to be for his friends and family. the kind of hugs embrace that stayed with you long after they let go
In the song 0:49But your embrace stays with me long after you let go
A positive influence, a guiding light of truth
With your brothers, it’s an unbreakable bond you share
The light you tried to be for everyone you knew
-
Who he was
Loving loyal Understanding Patient
In the song 1:02You were patient, understanding, loving, and so true
-
Her message to him
That life is less bright now that he’s gone
In the song 1:09But the world is so much less bright without you
Life is less bright, but I will carry on
-
What he taught them
To value the time we have together
In the song 1:15You taught us all to hold each other near
To value every minute we have here
-
A memory
Movie nights with his brothers, Marvel movies were always a must. Waiting to complain about who was scrolling on their phone the most
In the song 1:28I picture movie nights, the brothers gathered 'round
A Marvel movie playing, lost inside the sound
You'd wait to start complaining in a playful tone
About whoever spent the most time scrolling on their phone
-
A memory
Making fun of me for not using slang words the right way. Always having a sweet tooth,Besides being well in shape
In the song 2:31You'd laugh when I got all the slang words wrong
Always in such great shape, but with a stubborn sweet tooth
About 3 minutes of gentle questions about them, in your own words.
IIIDominic’s story
Dominic was loving, loyal, understanding and patient. He had iconic curly hair, he was well in shape, and he always had a sweet tooth.
He was always there for his brothers. On movie nights with them, Marvel movies were “always a must,” and he would wait to complain about who was scrolling on their phone the most.
He made fun of his mom for not using slang words the right way. He tried to be a positive influence for his friends and family.
“It was able to bring to life what I feel each day not having my handsome boy here”
Dominic’s mom, in her review
She misses waking up to his footsteps in the hallway, and his voice on the other end of the phone. She misses his hugs, “the kind of hugs… that stayed with you long after they let go.”
He taught them to value the time they have together. For his mom, “life is less bright now that he’s gone.”
She made the song to cope, “putting some of my feelings into a song.” She didn’t open it for a few days, not knowing if she had the strength, and she was glad she finally did.
She thought she would keep it for herself, but now she wants to share it with his brothers.
