In Loving Memory A Portrait of Dion Craig Prater

These are Portraits that were done of Dion over his 18 years of life, I intentionally left out one photo. The one where he was laying still and not smiling

Who Knew lyrics
Performed by PINK 2007 ( I think)

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
'fore they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew

I cried, a lot, i don't know you, or your son at all yet i can just feel only small part of what terrible loss that must have been, and it fills me with such despair and helplessness, things like this should never have to happen. im truly sorry for your loss, as late as the sympathy is, i hope it is still relevant

[mumandtwins]

@Xankar1 thankyou, yes I guess it is still very relevant, as long as young ones are being lost due to road crash it will always be relevant. At the time of the crash and death the support from the community is amazing, however after nearly 4 years it becomes like they never existed as people do move on with their own lives. it is the family who live with it every day.

The last photo is of him after he passed?

[mumandtwins]

@JustinFromSydney yep

y would you creamate him ......i know this is a awkard question but serioulsy! Sorry for your loss......my dad and mum were killed in a car crash when i was only 4 i never really knew them.....! :( I wish i could have!

[mumandtwins]

Dion told me less than a month before the accident that should anything ever happen to him that I am to have him cremated, and his ashes bought home to be put in my care until the time comes for me, just like his cousin Jamies. that is why so they are with me, I am his mother, and they are here for the benefit of his brothers and sisters too,

[HellJumper64]

Dude so sorry for your loss. I hope you know he is watching you from heaven. Don't worry you will see him again one day.

R.I.P dion.

[sevenseasPT]

I'm so sorry for your loss, life can be unfair at times...

But I'm sure he's in heaven watching over his parents and siblings

R.I.P. Dion
