Dear Dom,
It's been 49 weeks last Saturday since you passed away. It doesn't get any easier and each day that passes by is another heartache day of missing you.
Mummy and I went to our house in the desert last Saturday to check up on things, fix up a few things and get it ready for renters on Sept 1. We went for a swim while we were there and we remembered the great memories of you in the pool. You'd be so excited on the way to the desert in anticipation of swimming in our pool and dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. It's hard to enjoy things anymore since you've been gone.
We were glad to get signs from you last week. You turned on the light and fan in our living room. It's a great reminder for us that you still come and visit.
We miss you so much Dom. The days leading to your death anniversary is so sad and depressing for us.
I love you Dom,
Dad

Dear Dom,
It's your birthday today! Happy Birthday and I hope you get to celebrate in heaven. It's hard to celebrate here on earth without you. We are thinking of you and your birthday last year. Remember, you had a great birthday at Chuck E Cheese. I wish it was still last year and we get to spend the day with you.
This week has been really hard on mummy and I. As you can tell, we're in tears all the time. It's still hard to believe that you are no longer with us. I know in my heart that you are in a safe and wonderful place. I just wish that you were with us all the time and seeing you grow and learn.
I saw 4 kitties today when I ran around the neighborhood. I think that's the most I've seen in a day.
I hope you can show us more signs today.
I love you and miss you Dom,
Dad

Dear Dom,
It's been 48 weeks since you passed away. This time last year, your birthday was on a Saturday. It's so sad that you are not here with us tomorrow on your birthday. We always wonder how tall you'd be by now, how you would look, and how you would've done in school. Mummy and I have always been proud of you. You are the world to us. Mummy and I are crushed that you're not here with us. I wish I could've done something to save you.
I hope you've been sending us signs this week. The fan and light have been turned on by the living room lots of times. I saw a kitty that looked like Sapphie.
I will always think of you wherever I am. I look forward to the day I cross over and join you in the after life. I wish we can all be together again and be a family in the eternal life. Right now, our life on earth seems hopeless and meaningless without you.
You would be 8 tomorrow. I'm pretty sure you would've outgrown your yellow bike. You've been wanting to ride Dave's bigger bike last year but it doesn't seem safe yet. Although you can balance, you need to be able to control the bike and put both feet down.
It'll be a very sad weekend, Dom. I'll be thinking of last year when you were still alive.
I miss you so much and I love you Dom,
Dad

Dear Dom,
It's 47 weeks today since you passed away. In 8 days, it'll be your birthday. It will be very sad for our family leading up to your birthday. We miss you so much and we wish it was still last year when you were alive.
Life seems very unfair for us. We will never know why you had Takayasu and a heart condition. Our doctors say that it's neither from me or mummy that caused it. There are only a few children in the US that have Takayasu. It's hard to accept and understand why it had to be you. You were the sweetest kid in the world and yet you were taken away from us. Mummy and I continue to talk about you and continue to remeber things that you said. Like when you were in England, you told Aunt Les and Aunt Jeanette how you liked their condo. When you don't like something you would say "No thank you, it's not my favorite". When you know the rules, you accepted it. Like when we had Universal or Disney passes, you would mention something like "Are we not going to go ride the ferris wheel cause we have Disney passes?" And when we acknowledged you accepted it. We are very proud on how you had great manners. You always said thank you and please.
Last night, I dreamt about you. I went down to the kitchen and I thought I could feel your presence. When I tried to feel you with my hands I felt something cold. I knelt down on the floor and we hugged each other. I knew it was you and I could feel the love from you. I couldn't see you but I knew you were there.
I miss you so much Dom. All I can do now is look back at the great memories and hope in the future that we can be together again in the after life.
I love you Dom,
Dad

Dear Dom,
It's the 1st day of August. Yesterday was Saturday and 45 weeks since you passed away. It's going to be very hard for our family the next 2 months. Your birthday is coming up in 3 weeks and your death anniversary in September. How I wish we were still in the summer of 2009 when we were having such great fun.
Mummy and I went to the desert to check on our house. We went to Rancho Mirage where the Cheesecake Factory is to watch a movie and pass time. We had dinner at a pizza restaurant that you've never been to.
As I was wateting the plants at our in the desert this morning, a hummingbird flew very close to me - as if it were drawn to me. It wasn't scared and was just about a few inches from where I was standing. I was going to try and hold it but it flew away. Then when I was in the backyard washing our patio furniture, the hummingbird was there again. It was sitting on the clothes line we have right outside the master bedroom. I hope it was a sign from you. It just seems that the hummingbird was drawn to me.
There are lot of great memories of you at our house in the desert. This is where you learned how to bike. Remeber in our drive way, mummy and I taught you how to bike and you did so great. Then of course we have our pool that you enjoyed so much. Every time we planned to go to our house in the desert you were so excited and wanting to go in the pool right away. I also remembered when we rented a big U Haul truck to bring furniture and other stuff to our house. You and I were in the U Haul truck and you enjoyed the bumpy ride - specially on Pearson when the road seemed like a roller coaster. The following day after we moved our stuff to our desert house, we returned the U Haul truck in the desert. You asked and wondered how we were going to bring our furniture back to Huntington Beach! I guess you didn't realize that our vacation house was permanent.
I miss you so much, Dom. I wish you were here.
I love you,
Dad
