Dear Dom,

Tomorrow is your birthday.  We're already in pain leading to your birthday.  I try to think of the great memories we have of you.  But on your birthday tomorrow, you're still not here with us.  Mummy is having a hard time.  We wish you were here with us.

About a week before you birthday in 2009, we went to Toys R Us.  I bought you an ATV but didn't want you to know so it would be a nice surprise.  Mummy stayed with you while I bought the ATV and loaded the huge box in the Land Cruiser.  On the way home, you noticed the box and touched the box and asked - What's This?  I'm not sure what mummy or I said but we said it was something else so it didn't ruin the surprise.  On the day of your birthday that year, we had you go in the garage after your breakfast.  I saw the joy and happiness when you saw what you got.  You were so excited riding the ATV.  We went to the park so you can enjoy your present.  I think your birthday fell on a Saturday and so we invited friends and family to Chuck E Cheese's that night.  You had such a great time - the pictures and videos say it all.

That was 2 years ago.  Now we have a very sad and empty feeling on your birthday.  I wish you were here and I wish we have our lives back when you were here with us.  We're always in pain and we miss you everyday.

I love you, Dom
Dad

Dear Dom,

In 6 days, it'll be your birthday- you would've been 9 if you were here with us.  On Sept 19, your death anniversary is coming up.  It doesn't get easy.  It's very painful for mummy and I that you are not here with us.  These next few weeks will be very rough on us.

It's hard to believe that it's almost 2 years since you passed away.  We continue to live your great memories in our hearts and mourn losing you.  Your smile in photos and videos brings some hope that someday we can be together again after our lives pass on earth.  We miss you everyday.  We miss your voice, your laugh, your singing and just about everything you do.  We are constantly reminded of your memory when we see kitties, pets, pool, and things you enjoyed when you were here with us.  Our lives have changed and it has been awful living day-to-day without you.

I still remember 2 years ago when we planned for your birthday.  We bought you an ATV which you loved so much.  We went around the neighborhood and I had to run fast to catch up with you.  Our park was your ATV terrain with all the bumps you wanted to go over.  You had a great birthday at Chuck E Cheese when we had friends and family to celebrate.  But now it's all memories.  I wish you were still here and I wish we had our lives back when you were here.

I love you so much, Dom.
Dad
