31-Jan-2012

Dear Dom,

It's been a while since I've written to you.  Last Saturday was the 123rd week since you passed away.   We always talk about you and we always think of you.  The pictures that pop out of my computer at work or at home remind me of the great times we've had when you were here with us.  It almost tells a story.  It's also a sad reminder of your last week when you were at CHOC.  It is still hard for us to believe that you are no longer with us.  When I see the beach or a swimming pool, I always think of how you loved swimming and playing in the water.  When I see commercials on TV for Disneyland or Universal, it takes me back to the days when we used to visit the parks and enjoy the day.  You gave us so much love and happiness that we will forever be grateful for.

Your sister, Emme, is doing well.  She's been healthy and happy.  We always wonder why you had so much health problems.  You spent so much time in the hospital the 1st 2 years of your life.  We are starting to feel that we have something to hope for and live for with Emme.  She has been a blessing and she's been helping us in so many ways.  And every cute or funny thing she does reminds us of you.  In so many ways, she looks like you and does things like you used to do.

I love you Dom
Dad

Dear Dom,

It's a new year and another year has passed without you.  People are cheering and celebrating to welcome the new year 2012.  Mummy and I have sonething to hope for - your sister Emmeline.  But it doesn't change the huge void in our heart snce you passed away. We always think of you and we wonder how it would've been if you were here with Emme.  I know you would have been the best brother.  You always made me and mummy proud.  You had great sense of humor and you cared about how other people felt.

When we were at the desert today, I remembered the time we celebrated New Year just before we got our house.  It was so exciting for us.  We also went to Macaroni Grill at Palm Desert one year and I think it was just before they closed.  We never knew why!

I love you Dom and I hope you can wait for us until we see each other again,
Dad
