Dammion, it's me again.

I dreamt about you the other night, and I woke up happier than I've been in a while. You were laying in a hospital bed and I woke up in a chair sitting next to you. My eyes opened slowly, and there you were with the same grin you always had on your face. The grin that I fell in love with without even realizing it. I asked you how you were feeling, and you told me that everything was better now, that you were okay. And that was something I really needed to hear.

Then we got to talking again. Nothing major, just small conversations and laughter like we used to, but you could tell I was holding back. You reached down and grabbed my hand gently and told me that you had missed me. I couldn't even reply before I started crying and you pulled me in. You gave me a soft kiss, wiped my tears and told me that everything was going to be alright. Then just like that I woke up in my bed, alone, but comforted.

It had been a while since I had seen you, felt your touch, smelt your skin, heard your voice. Being in that dream with you brought everything back though. I remembered how you became such a big part of my life. Your presence brought so much happiness to my soul. The way you laughed at your own jokes. Your corky personality that made everyone fall in love with you. But most of all the immensity of your heart. It still amazes me how big that heart of yours was.

You put everyone else's needs before yours. Even now that you're gone, you still check up on me and let me know that everything will work out.

But it wasn't just me that you took care of. It was everyone you came into contact with: All your friends and family, and even strangers. I love reading all the stories that people post about you, because it shows the type of person you were. From being someone's first friend at a new school, to helping someone cut that last pound they needed, you were always by their side if they needed you.

That's why it makes me so mad that they took you, not only from me, but from everyone that loved you. The world was a better place with you here, and you impacted so many people in your short life. They say our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we touch and that couldn't be more true with you. You left fingerprints everywhere you went, and it showed in the outpouring of love when you were gone.

I miss you immensely Dammion. The dreams will never compare to having you here in the flesh but for now they will have to do.

Until next time, I'll be seeing you, Champ.
