Dear Dom,
This day on Saturday last year is when you passed away. I left home thinking that you were coming home. I shouldn't have stopped by at Starbucks - maybe I would've had a chance to see you alive. When I got off the elevator on the 4th floor to go to your room, I knew something was wrong. There was a lot of doctors and nurses getting in and out of your room. I tried to rush and wanted to see you but they stopped me outside of your room. Mummy was outside of your room as well, Mummy told me your hear stopped and the doctors were trying to bring you back. The nurse said that you were being given a cardiac massage so your blood and oxygen continue to circulate in your system. We tried to pray and be strong so when you come back we'd be there you. Unfortunately, you never came back.
When Dr Anaz came out to talk to Dr Weiner on the phone - mummy and I were so shocked and devastated that you passed away. Dr Anas tried to bring you back but your heart would not beat anymore. We found out a few weeks later you had a huge blood clot behind your heart.
What turned out to be hopeful for the weekend that you may be coming home ended in the worst nightmare. We called our family and everyone came to see you. Everyone was so shocked and sad that you're gone. The doctors did not have any explanation on what happened - from a good prognosis to you passing away.
Life ended for me and mummy on Sept 19, 2009 Saturday at around 9:10 AM. We never thought we'd ever lose you and here we are a year later still devastated without you.
Mummy and I have been talking about our great memories of you. We visited Good Shepherd again today. It's so painful without you.
I love you and miss you Dom,
Dad
