Kochana Joasiu,

Jest nam niezmiernie przykro z powodu tak smutnej i zaskakujacej wiadomosci o smierci Kamila. Chcelismy Ci zlozyc najszczersze wyrazy wspolczucia z powodu twojej straty od nas obojga Dany I mnie. Niech Bog ma go i Ciebie w swojej opiece.

Koi No Yokan was lyrics from a song by Kamil my boyfriends favourite band called the deftones. Translated it means love's premonition. It is upon meeting someone that you know you will one day fall in love. It may not have been love at first site when I met him but knew the moment I saw him something was different. I knew there would be a connection if not love then frienship. Someone asked me what true love meant to me once. I replied when you find the right person. But how do you know that person is right for you? So I had to dig deeper. I will know it's true love because you love them unconditionally as if they are your blood family. No matter what they do or say, you love them anyway. You love them no matter what and nothing could keep you two away from each other. That's how it was for kamil and I. He was my best friend and loved him despite everything we had been through together. He loved the weather since he loved the outdoors. Our relatuonship was much like our latest Canadian weather. So many storms we weathered together. I knew I from the beginning, the moment I kissed him that there was something I never felt before. home. it felt like I was kissing home. Now that he's gone no where feels like home. Not even the apartment we arranged together not the bed we used to sleep upon. But he would want me to keep moving on and not give up. he would want me to live on and hopefully one day I will see him again. I am glad that I at least got to tell him before he died that I will always love him because death was the thing that could finally break us up. I will love you forever. R.I.P. Kamil Golkiewicz.

To those if you who loved him and will miss him, here is a poem I found...i hope it is a little comfort
You u can shed tears that he is gone-
Or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back-
Or you can open your eyes and see what he has left.
Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him-
Or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for the past-
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone-
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
Be empty and turn your back-
Or you can do what he would want;
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

Wiadomość o nagłej śmierci Twojego syna Kamila to ogromny wstrząs. Trudno jest pogodzić się z odejściem bliskiej osoby a jeszcze trudniej jeżeli jest to dziecko, któremu dało się życie i poświęciło znaczną część własnego.
Nie ma takich słów, które mogłyby pocieszyć Ciebie i Twoją rodzinę, dlatego powiem jedynie, że łączymy się z Wami w tym ogromnym smutku i proszę przyjmij wyrazy najszczerszego żalu i współczucia.

Kamil was my first born, he was the love of my life. The labour was difficult and long but the joy after seeing his face filled my heart forever. He was the sun that always shone. Never letting me down, always trying to cheer me up. He wanted me to be able to stand up for myself, he knew my weaknesses. Even at the darkest moments he was the one who reminded me of the value of having good sense of humour. He was my spiritual teacher despite his difficulties. Love him forever.
