Zachary Dylan Vermouth

Sunrise August 21st 1992 - Sunset October 12th 2004

My brother Zach was victim to many illnesses and diseases, including leukemia, and all of which he fought. He was nicknamed "the Golden Boy," "Zachary-Doodlebug," and others. He left an impression on those who met him, they loved how sweet he came off even without being able to speak or move. He had soft skin and angelic blue eyes and soft golden hair, his appearance was that of a sweet round cherub. We all loved him dearly for his entire life, and not a day goes by that we don't think about him.

On October 11th 2004 at approximately 10pm, Zachary, at 12 years old, had stopped breathing and had to be rushed to the hospital. The next day when we went to see he and my mom in the hospital, he was in a coma on a respiratory machine, a coma he wouldn't be able to come out of. At 12:15pm on October 12th, 2004, the respiratory machine was turned off.
We sang and kissed him for the last time before he was gone.

"Respiratory Machine" [August 21st, 2008]

Kiss me for the last time
Before I have to let go
Of these trembling lavender hands.
Let me caress your cold forehead
Before time takes you away from me.
Please smile the final time
Before your eyes close,
Before the lights dim,
Before the golden mirage disappears
And your blue eyes depart.
Before the rosy cheeks evanesce,
And all I’m left with is the heat of another.

Let me tell you I love you,
Sing you this lullaby,
This lament,
This dirge,
Before breath escapes your lungs,
And eludes your mind entirely.

I love you Zachary, wherever you are.
Love,
Your sister,
Roezi
