Last of the Weekend

I was fortunate enough to spend the last few days with Dominic & his family. On one hand it was so touching & fabulous to all be there together but on the other, the graveness of the situation was so pliable it was difficult at times. The days were spent with lifelong friends coming in sharing stories and memories, holding Dom's hands and expressing their deepest love for him. The nights were times that Don & Jane were able to be alone with their son, expressing their love, and watching him as he rested. In talking with them both in great length these past few weeks, they continue to be rocks, appreciative of the network that Dom's accumulated, and show their personal love for their son daily; it is beautiful to watch.

The doctors have no answers as you know. They are making him comfortable, caring for him as best as they can, and praying for him too. We are at the tail end of this journey - its a day to day experience we are living with now. I am proud of the fight that Dom continues to show, it is the only way he knows how to be; soon the fight will end but we will always remember the effort he gave.

I will let you know more when information becomes available. Much love to you all. - M
