Dear Dom,
Today is Memorial Day, the unofficial start of summer. Our summers will no longer be the same without you. We've planned all our family activities around you. Mummy and I wanted you to have the best and experience different places. We've been to Hawaii, Orlando, Puerto Rico, Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Phoenix and you and mummy went to England in 2009. We don't have anything planned this year as we are still grieving from losing you. Even a trip to our house in the desert seems sad as we bought the house for you so you can enjoy swimming in our pool and playing around our big back yard.
It's been 36 weeks from last Saturday since we saw you. All we have now are wonderful and great memories of you. Yet, it's still painful that you are not with us. We've never imagined that you would go before mummy and I. We wish we could've known and maybe we could have done something different. I know I can't go back to the past but if I could I would like to re-live our summer last year and maybe do things differently before you went to school; or maybe take you to Children's LA.
We brought you Old Glory today and put it next to your stone by Good Shepherd. You always loved Old Glory and you always talk about it when you see it in school or wherever we are. We also brought you some cones and hope we can bring a smile to your face.
We also noticed today that the light in our master bedroom was turned on. I can only hope you did that as we asked you to give us a sign when we visited you today.
We miss you so much Dom and we love you so much. We can't wait to be with you when we go to the eternal life. We hope you're with family and friends who also passed away and we hope that someone or some people are taking care of you.
I love you Dom,
Dad

Dear Dom,
Today marks the 8th month since you died on Sept 19, 2009. I'm still in shock that you are no longer with us. It's hard to believe that you are gone and it'll be a long time before we get a chance to see each other or be together.
There's not a moment when I don't think of you. Every day when I wake up you are in my thoughts. When I drive to work and get to work you're still in my thoughts and as you know I try and talk to you. As I work I stare at your pictures. When I stare out the window I think of you. When I drive to come home, I talk to you again and think of happy memories about you.
Life is just not the same without you. Our dreams and hopes are gone and we don't know what the future has in store for us. We are sad, and sometimes angry that you passed away. You were supposed to be here longer than mummy and I yet we're here without you.
I believe you're in a safe place and I believe you're no longer and pain. I believe that you're with family who died before you and I believe you find happiness in heaven. But it's hard for mummy and I to accept that you are no longer with us.
I love you Dom,
Dad

Dear Dom,
As I told you yesterday, today is the 33rd week since you passed away.
I had a great dream about you last night. You came back to life and mummy and I were so happy to be with you again. It felt so real that you were with us. I wish it can happen. You came to our bed and we were worried that you'll be gone again. It was nice to feel your warmth and energy again. You had a great smile as you always did and you were laughing as well. Mummy and I couldn't believe you were back but we were so glad you did.
We all went to sleep in our dream and I was still worried that you'll be gone. The next day, you were still ok. We were going to go for a bike ride but when you got up you didn't feel well and sat on the chair. I thought you needed Captopril so I got it and gave it to you. The Reays also came by to visit to see you. We had a small terrier too but not a Westie. I could also remember you being in the kitchen and playing around after I gave your meds.
I wish I could remember every second of my dream. It was a nice dream to have and to remember you. I hope it was a sign or a way of you communicating to me that you're ok.
I love you so much Dom and miss you so much,
Dad

Dear Dom,
We've been missing you a lot this week. Mummy and I watched videos from your 1st Christmas to Summer of 2004. You were so cute. We had lots of videos from when you were playing in the backyard. We just remembered how you loved playing with water.
It'll be 33 weeks tomorrow since you passed away. It's such a long time and we miss you so much as the days go by. We wish it was still summer last year when we had so much fun in Phoenix and our house in the desert. Remember? We went to Knott's Soak City in the desert and you said it was better than Universal Studios. You and I went on all the water slides. It was so fun to see you having a great time.
It's mother's day in 2 days. Mummy is already feeling the pain since you're not with us. It'll be very hard on us that day.
I love you, Dom
Dad

Dear Dom,
As I was running yesterday around our neighborhood, I was thinking of your whole life. I remembered when you were born. The nurse was checking your vitals and cleaning you . You were holding on to my finger and looking at me as the nurse worked on you. It was the best thing that I've ever experienced. I never knew how love could be so great til you were born. You brought so much life and happiness to our family.
On the day you died, mummy and I held you. That day is the saddest day of our lives. You were supposed to get discharged that weekend but your heart stopped - and we'll never know why. Our family is no longer a family without you. It's so sad waking up everyday knowing you're not with us.
I try and keep your memory alive. I talk to you all day long - when I drive to work, when I pass by your room, when I leave the house, when I run, just about anywhere I go. I hope you can hear me when I talk to you. I wish I can see all the signs that you're close to me when you are.
I love you Dom and I miss you so much,
Dad
