Dearest Piotrus,
Pete, Peter,

It's been five years and it feels like not even five minutes. Your last words were ones of love, even though you were in so much pain. You are right, Mr. Malutki is so precious and look at him and think of you and Matthew every single day.
You were an incredible brother, so loving and thoughtful and generous and kind.
You were an extraordinary uncle in the little time that you had with Robert. We will make sure that your influence is never far from him - movies, fashion, a love of food and of sneakers.
No one could ask to have a better son than you, patient and understanding. You and Matthew are in our hearts every moment of every day.

We hold you so
tight and feel
your presence
and your love.
We love, love,
love you.
