Inspirational Youth

"Dominic was a fun, caring young man who was always willing to please," family said. "Dominic had overcome many obstacles in his life and always came through a better person. He will be greatly missed by all who he had met on his short journey through life."

Still asking why......

Andy Forsyth Aug 30, 2011

As we approach the fourth anniversary of Dom's death, I'm still asking the same question..... Why? Why did it happen? Why was he taken so young in life? It is still hard to believe you're gone Dom, we all think of you every single day and I always wonder, what if? What could have been? I find it so hard not to get angry about the circumstances of what happened and I'm asking myself why it was you who had to suffer the most...... But that helps nobody and doesn't bring you back, which if I could, I would do in a heart beat.

Rest In Peace my friend.

the fact you are gone hasn't got easier!

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.

Andy
