Hi Sam, I hope you are well. Recently I downloaded some of your photos from my computer and got them made into the “old fashioned” style on paper, the type I can hold. I have gave some to granny who loves seeing your photo and talking about you. I have kept some myself so I can look at you every day, although I don’t need photos to remember you by as you are in my head and in my heart constantly son as I miss you tons and think about you every minute of every day. As always I have passed on your love to granny and have told her that you miss her. I know you would want me to say this and you would be saying it yourself if you had the chance. Looking at the photos I downloaded from last year I see the ones when we played crazy gold together in Dunfermline. Do you remember that day Sam? The weather was lovely and your won our games as your beaten me fair and square, you are the champion and that evening we went to Nandos for your celebratory meal, well done to you that day, and you beat me many times playing indoor bowls too, you are truly talented Sam, these are very happy memories and I hope we will have the chance again soon to play these games again, perhaps give me a chance to win some this time but I suspect you will just be much too good at them again to allow me to win.

I hope you are reading plenty book. Every new David Walliams books that come out I buy and put in your bookshelf in your bedroom for when you return, perhaps as you are getting older you are starting to enjoy other books, I hope we can read together again soon as we use to do before. Please always remember that I’m missing you son, I will never stop fighting to get you back into my life. You are my son and I am your father, I love you more than words can describe and you are in my heart and mind always. daddy x

Hi Sam, I hope you are well son, I am thinking about you constant and miss you lots. Granny is feeling better but still in her bed as very tired all the time, I tell her always that you are sending your love and this makes her very happy. She understands that you can't visit her through no choice of your own and asks me to tell you that she is missing you too and sends her love. When I gave her a mothers day card on sunday I signed it from you too as you are her loving Grandchild this made her very happy.

I also gave her flowers from you which she has on her side cabinet with your photo as a baby which she likes to look at every day.

I keep your bedroom as you have left it Sam with all your books and toys ready for your return, I have painted the walls and hope you like the colours but if not one day we can go to the shops and let you choose a colour you prefer.

your bookcase has all your books and games in it ready for you.

This is your house too Sam, always remember its here for you and it always will be, I am your daddy and you are my son, nothing will every change, I love you very much and miss you every day, I will never give up fighting to see you and I always encourage you to be brave, tell the truth and never be afraid to approach your teachers if you ever have any worries or if you would like to contact me.

You are a wonderful son Sam and I love you and am always proud of you.

Love you always Sam Daddy x
