Can't really watch soccer for long without thinking of Dillon. Watching one of the World Cut games, maybe US v Ghana, one of the announcers asked the other, what the players would be saying as they stood in a circle, their arms intertwined. after half-time before returning to the game. The other announcer responded that they would be saying something to get them all to pull together as a team. Immediately the image: Dillon, the only soccer player on our club team who could say the most heartfelt, even corniest thing that the other players would not only accept without any derisive remarks, but would also be the exact thing that would actually work. The world doesn't make a lot of sense when a force so positive, so effective is gone. Love you Harriet, Taylor and Steve and, of course, Dillon. Bella, former manager of the SM Strikers.

Today was just a regular day, nothing special, but it's been a Dillon day. As I drove down Latimer, I was thinking about how Rustic Canyon Nursery School is starting soon, and how wonderful Dillon was with all the preschool kids. I was thinking about how much Dillon loved the park. Just a normal day, and just a day filled with Dillon memories. How I wish that they were more than just memories.

Hello Harriet & Steve, I am just emailing you to let you know what exciting things have been happening these past few months. In April, I found out that I was accepted as a transfer student to UCLA and UC Berkeley as an Anthropology Major. I also got into UC San Diego and UC Irvine. About a week ago, I made the decision to go to UCLA after visiting both universities and seeing which would be the best fit. I feel that this major accomplishment in my life was anchored and supported by your beautiful family and the memory of Dillon. Thank you for your continuous support and for helping me and my family make my dreams come true. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Nasser & Family

I just miss you a lot. There's so much cool music out that I want to be able to show you, and listen to with you. Jack Johnson has come out with two new albums since you left, and I just hope you can hear them up in heaven and think of me as much as I think of you whenever I hear them (or any of his stuff). This summer especially is going to be one where I think of you a lot because of the world cup. I hope that I will be able to feel your presence while I am at some of the games. Love you Dillon, and I hope I make you proud in some way or another.

Congrats Taylor! Hope you love Boulder! What an achivement.... Dearest Harriet: My best wishes and prayers are with you always, and especially on this important day of honoring you. You, Steve, Taylor and Dillon co-created a wonderful family. The conditions in your home and hearts were ripe and fertile for the profound and early slowering of the giant spirit of Dillon. Davis and I were blessed to be a part of that environment on so many occasions. God bless.

Please leave your comment here My family and i look forward to celebrating with Taylor and family on her graduation in June and her decision to become a "Buffalo". I thank all for the continued contact and support of Harriet, Steve and Taylor as it means so much to them. The concept that Dillon's spirit continues beyond the confines of Latimer Rd is so comforting and brings a smile to the faces of all who will love him always. He continues to be a driving force in the Universe.
Love always Uncle Alan, Aunt Edna, Josh Jon and Alexandra

It is so hard for me to gather the courage to talk about someone I loved so much, Dillon was everything to me. I love him so much I can barely keep the tears out of my eyes even speaking his name but I do so with a smile knowing how perfect he was. I cant remember a happy time in my life in which Dillon and his beautiful family werent present, through my highest highs to my lowest lows he was there for me, I never even had to ask, he knew and acted so quickly and with so much compassion he inspired everyone, even those who had never met him but had only heard the stories. It has been the pleasure of my life to have known Dillon, every single good thing I have to say about myself can be attributed to my relationship with Dillon. He never let me wallow in my self pity when I was down and was always the the first to cut me down to size when I was floating on some air of success. I was to easy for him, I wore my emotions on my sleeve, he expressed his emotions through his writing, I could barely read. We were polar opposites from the day we met.... but I do believe that was what made our relationship so genuine. Dillon always had this sense of a parent like obligation to his friends in which he took passion in helping them. I was easily one of his most dramatic cases and he loved it. I always had something to complain about and he ALWAYS helped me through it even if all it took was a smile. I cannot close my eyes without seeing that smile and I sit here in tears as I write this because I cant let go, I wont. Dillon taught me to care when I didnt, he showed me color in my world of black and white. He taught me to be patient and to listen, he brought me closer to the people I could never imagine being without. I wake up happy everyday. I wake up happy everyday because I wake up with you. Sometimes your the twinkle of sleep in my eye others that crack in the ground that causes me to fall and embarass myself in the street. I never conformed to a religon and never believed in a god or anything of the sort but after having known you Dillon, how can I ever doubt the existence of omnipresent beings. You have guided me through this life from my earliest memories and I know you still are so thank you.Thank you for everything you have given me, may it be parents, friends, guidence, love or even just that hug I needed. 2 years later I still close my eyes on those beautiful star speckled nights listening to our favorite songs with my head to the sky and I know you are the smile I cant seem to wipe from my face. Admin reply: BEAUTIFUL and Thanks
