Dear Dom,

Today is the last day of the month. Mummy and I still think about you wherever we go. We miss you in so many ways.

We went to a support group last night. It's a group for parents who lost their child or in some cases children. I always look at your picture on the wall with the rest of the kids who also passed away. I alway wonder if you've met some of the kids in our Tuesday group. We find comfort when we go to the meeting and we learn from other mums and dads who've gone through what we're going through. Our hearts are forever broken. I try and remember the days when you were here. Like the Enterprise (rent a car) commercial last night - when they say we'll pick you up - I remember when you uised to ask me Dad, pick you up. And we rented a Dodge Ram and a VW Routan from Enterprise.

I love you Dom,
Dad

Dear Dom,

I had a dream about you last night.  You were coming down the stairs and you were excited and happy to see me.   I was also excited to see you so I ran up the stairs to meet you.  We met mid-way and tried to hug but we can't.  I woke up at 2:30 AM finding comfort that you were giving me a sign that you were around but also sad that you're not here with us. 

I also had another dream the day before.  We were at the beach and you and mummy were playing in the water.  I was about a few feet away from both of you just watching how you were enjoying the ocean.  As the waves come by mummy would lift you up so the wave doesn't go over you.  You were laughing and having fun as each wave passes by.

You've always loved the water.  You enjoyed swimming in the pool and you can't wait to get in our pool when we go to our vacation home in the desert.  When we did our 4th of July pictures in 2008, we went to the pier in Huntington Beach.  You wanted to get in the water but it was too cold and the waves were a little strong.  So we just splashed in the shallow end by the shore as wave after wave splashes on our feet.

I wish I could always see signs that you are reaching out to us.

I love you Dom,
Dad

Dear Dom,

It'll be 27 weeks tomorrow since you passed away.  Mummy and I are still in shock and could not believe that you are no longer with us.  Life is empty without you.  You brought us so much happiness and joy in our lives.

I was running in our neighborhood yesterday.  A butterfly from nowhere flew by and circled around my face in the strong winds.   I saw pairs of birds a few times and you'd always comment that these birds are married.  I wish I can always see your signs.  I find comfort knowing that you are still around.

I love you Dom,
Dad

Dear Dom,

Mummy and I were talking about your phrases. You would say "What Of", "what next", "and then". We were talking about what to have for dinner tonight and just remembered how you asked for things sometimes.

I went running around our neighborhood. Everything reminds me of you. The big park where you biked and rode your ATV; the butterfly park where we cut through to go to Heil or Warner; Roosevelt St where Sammy lives - you liked to bike by the new condos; our community pool; and Rosie street... are just a few reminders. I miss you so much and I wish you were here.

I love you Dom,
Dad

Dear Dom,

Mummy and I were just talking on how you loved your fish, Ocean. First thing you do when you get to the kitchen is say hi to Ocean, feed him, and try to pet him. We've seen Ocean being petted and he liked it when you dipped your finger in his tank.

We miss you Dom and we love you so much.

Mummy and Dad

Dear Dom,

Mummy and I went to Payless today and remembered the type of shoes you always wanted to wear - it's the strap on sneakers. I think you had a brown and blue pair.

We had lunch at Crystal Court and we remembered how you always wanted to go to CPK. We went to the coffee shop on the 1st floor. You've been there once or twice.

You're the best boy we've ever known. You"re cute and adorable. You always had nice manners. You see things different from other kids and you always see the good side of things. Like a display of jeans the size of dolls we saw at South Coast today would've been cute. And mummy and I talked about how you said one day that it was nice for the pigs to give us bacon. And you always appreciated when we go out to lunch, dinner, or anywhere we felt like going.

I love you Dom and miss you so much,

Dad

6 Months Anniversary

Dear Dom,

The days leading to today has been very hard.  It is exactly six months since you passed away, Dom.  I can still remember the dreadful moment when I walked to CHOC and saw all the medical staff outside of your room.  I was still hopeful that things will be ok.  I did not realize that you were already gone as I was told by the nurse (with your mum with me) that everything was going to be ok and they're doing their best to take care of you.  We were in shock when Dr Anas came out to talk to Dr Weiner and we heard that he's tried everything but your heart won't beat anymore.  It is the saddest day of our lives.

I wish I could've done something.  But no matter what I think or wish today, the thoughts will not bring you back.  All I have are memories of you - the best 7 years that I ever had.  You made me a proud father.  You gave me hope, dreams, and a reason to live.  I cherish all the seconds that you were here with us.  It is a very short 7 years and it's so sad that you are not here with us. I always want the best for you.  My dreams and hopes have been shattered since you died on Sept 19, 2009.

A lot of holidays passed by since you passed away.  Mummy and I have been through the painful agony of missing you during these holidays.  Life does not seem fair to us at the moment.  We wish you are here and we hope you are ok.

We've been watching your videos and photos to give us comfort.  Nothing will ease the pain but I find it comforting to remember the 7 years of great memories.

I love you, Dom
Dad
