The Royal Bay Secondary student was nine when he lost his little sister.

That milestone, followed so closely by what was a joyful family favourite 91裸聊视频� Christmas 91裸聊视频� makes the month particularly challenging for the Victoria teen and his family.
91裸聊视频淭he holidays without her are excruciating,91裸聊视频� Felix said. 91裸聊视频淚 was just 9, and we didn91裸聊视频檛 know how to celebrate her birthday without her. Then we started talking about how Lexi didn91裸聊视频檛 want presents; she wanted love. That91裸聊视频檚 something we could still give.91裸聊视频�
