Dear Tommy,
We were supposed to have written this post a long time ago. June 10 was your birthday, and you would have turned 2 years old.
Papai and Mamae were really nervous about the first birthday without you. Last year when you were still with us we were already making plans for your birthday. We talked about throwing a party at Pump It Up or at the swimming pool. But since you loved animals we knew that what you would really enjoy was a petting zoo birthday party just like the one we had on Halloween.
If only we knew our plans would be quite different this year. Instead, we had a small family gathering at the cemetery where we remembered you and released balloons with messages to you. I hope you got them all!
Also, on June 10 Uncle Darren, Aunty Oona, Parker and Riley got a birthday cake just for you. Grandma and grandpa were also "virtually" there online when we sang Happy Birthday to you!
We are very lucky for our family and friends that have been so supportive for the last year. I just wish you were here with us to blow out your candle.
Eu te amo muito muito muito.
-Mamae
