Dimitri,

Hes nearly 6 months old. Hes just learnt how to crawl, not fast, but fast enough that he needs to be watched.

Hes still just as curious as ever.

I wish you could hear his giggle, its the cutest thing ever, Lissa even made it her ringtone.

Im putting him into daycare next month so that I can go back to guarding. Ive been taking him with me to the gym, he loves watching the other guardians sparring. He actually laughed at Guardian Castile when he got knocked over by Guardian Korins, whose half his size And a girl.

I didnt realise how out of shape I had let myself get, But Im running every day, just like you taught me.

Christian and Lissa came to visit you guys last week, Im glad they did then otherwise I would have had no choice but to go with them when I get back on duty... I dont know if I could handle that...

I tell myself every day that Im over you, that the pain in my chest isnt because youre not here... But I know Im kidding myself...

Do you know what today is? I just looked at the calendar... Its been exactly one year today that you left me...

Exactly one year Dimitri... And it still hurts just as bad...
