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
