Dear Dom,
 
It's been a while since I wrote to you.  It doesn't mean I'm over your death and I'm ok about it.  I talk to you daily and hope you know that and maybe even hear what I talk to you about.  Just a few minutes ago, I was reading some of the emails my work colleagues sent me and it brings tears as I go through the emails.  It's the worst thing that can ever happen to a mom or dad - losing a child.  It's beyond comprehension and disbelief that you are no longer here. 
 
You may also have noticed that mum and dad have been taking care of a soon-to-be 12 yr old boy.  His brother may be with us tomorrow. Both boys came from a broken home and we're trying to take care of them while their parents get their act together.  You always liked company and you probably would've enjoyed these boys.  Robby is 12 yrs old and has been with us since last Thursday.  He also started going to Marine View yesterday.  It was a reminder of how we used to spend afternoons together when we enrolled Robby at Marine View.  We would play around the basketball area and the playground.  You enjoyed biking around and just having a blast.  Ricky is 4 yrs old and needs a lot of help.  He's got autism and we need to help him with his social and communication skills.  We hope we can help him so he can have a productive life.
 
Halloween passed and mummy and I escaped to The Block to have dinner and watch a movie.  It's still very hard for us to see other kids having a great Halloween and here we are without you.  Halloween is one of your favorite days - you get to wear a costume at school and  parade around.  Then possibly another costume when you do trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. Thanksgiving is coming up in 2 weeks.  Mummy and I have nothing to be thankful for.  We usually visit family on Thanksgiving and maybe head to our house in the desert.
 
I miss you so much Dom and I love you so much,
Dad
