Still Missing You Two Years On

Andy Forsyth Oct 31, 2009

I'll never forget Dom, it's been two years now and everyone who knew him will be hurting today, some still upset as to how things happened, some even angry about what happened. You're one of a kind Dominic, I miss your sarcastic wit, your insults, everything. I've often thought about going back into the wheelchair racing, but I can't bring myself to do it because it would be so weird not having you there, giving your support and me giving you my support. My thoughts are with Dom's family and friends all the time, and especially today.

I thought I'd pick the football as an icon to go with this message, as I know Dom would be proud of his Man City side doing so well, and I know he'd be ripping me to pieces over them signing one of Everton's best players!

Miss you always pal.

A Year Ago Today

Andy Forsyth Oct 31, 2008

Dom,

It's been a year exactly since your death, and not a day goes by where I don't ask why? Not a day goes by where I don't think about you and the good times and the laughs we had, me, you, Ste, Jon, Helen and the rest. You always made me laugh with your sarcastic wit. But you were also very supportive of your teammates and opponents. You were one of a kind and I shall remember you always.
