Happy 19th Birthday, Julian !
We all wish you were here, we love and miss you !
This page was created in memory of our son
Julian
October 04, 1990 - August 22,
1994
Julian was almost 4 years old the day he died.
He was an adventurous little boy who wanted to explore his world. He was
a very sweet, loving and happy child that enjoyed playing, singing and
all kinds of things that kids like to do. His special love though were
the elephants !
From early age on he wanted to collect everything
that had to do with elephants, and the whole family got involved in the
search for anything that displayed an elephant.
We have T-shirts and picture books and videos
and hats and anything you can imagine with an elephant, stuffed elephant's
and concrete ones and onyx and plastic !
Julian died on a mild summer afternoon after
he locked himself into a parked car in the neighborhood and nobody saw
him there until it was too late and he had suffered a heat stroke - no
one had suspected a parked car as being a danger !
Here is a poem that his mom wrote inspired
by him :
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
Your presence was like a summer breeze,
lite and swift.
You took me by your hand
to guide me and show me a wonderful land.
The land of Unconditional Love.
Even though you were still small,
you gave the greatest gift of all.
Unconditional Love.
Now that you're gone
and I can't touch you anymore,
I feel your presence in my heart.
Because you gave me something beautiful
called Unconditional Love !
Inspired by and in memory of Julian

Here are some other poems that comforted us after Julian's death
We all know that when a child of yours dies
a part of your future dies along with him or her but maybe something positive
came out of your tragedy after all ! Julian's death made us aware of the
need to warn and educate other parents about the danger of heat for small
children, something that seems not to be commonly known by many. We started
a foundation in his memory and hope to prevent some tragedies from happening
with our work. His life was a gift and inspiration to us and he will live
on through our work and memories. If you would like to help our cause or
would like to make a donation, please
