Hi JM, I couldnt pull myself together to write in this last week. I visited you, thought about you, missed you, just like every other day. Five years hit me hard. I always think of what you would be like, but for some reason this year was even harder. I think of you every day and stil talk about you constantly. I dont think ill ever stop. I love you so much and will continue to love and miss you all the days of my life. No one could ever take your place. XO

I will remember this day for the rest of my life........sitting at my desk at work and getting paged, answering the page NEVER expecting it to be your Auntie Kristen telling me to get to the hospital because you had an accident the day before....I dont think ive ever run so fast in my life. I am trying so so hard to forget these next three days and what a horrific impact they had on my life, and to instead remember the two years and seven months that i had the most perfect godson, who stole my heart and made all my cares in the world disappear. I love you so much and not a day goes by that i dont miss you and think about what a fantastic little boy you would be today. Shine bright XOXO
November 15, 2011
It's coming up on 4 years and not a day goes by that you are not thought of! Your family misses and loves you sweet baby! RIP

Goodmorning JM <3 It was so nice to visit with you yesterday, I know its been a while, Im just a mess. I think of you every day and still talk about you all the time. I wish more than anything that you were here with us. I think about how much fun you would be at this age and just how perfect you were in general and my heart hurts. I hope more than anything that you are with my Dad and making eachother smile. I love you both so so much and miss you more than words.

It was so good to sit at your site and spend time with you yesterday. Its been so hard for me to go there these past few months. Everything has been so hard. Every single time I am there I meet a new person who is so interested in your story, wondering why such a flawless little boy is no longer with us. I wish I could explain it. All I hope is that you know how much I love you and I hope that you are with my Dad because he adored you. You got him out of bed on some of the worst days and you made him smile. He was so touched by you. I am so touched by the both of you. Heaven holds my heart, you have a piece and my Dad has a piece. No one could ever compare to either. I cant believe you would of been six this Friday. I always imagined you at 4 years old for some reason, always thought of the fun we could have when you were that age, and to think of you at 6, having a first day of school, its devastating. I love you Justin Michael. I hope you are safe, happy and shining bright over all who love you.

Justin Michael, Its been so long since Ive written here. I check it often. I think of you every day. Im just kinda at a loss. Losing you broke my heart, so so much. Its never been put back together, I was never the same, but I had a focus. I needed to stay together because I needed to take care of my Dad and be there for him. Now hes gone and I have nothing, no focus no distraction no nothing. I realize more and more that as broken as I am, I never really dealt with losing you and its hitting me now, even worse. I hope that you and my Dad are together. I hope you are making eachother smile. I wish I knew if you were together. I have only had one sign from him, and its breaking me apart that its been so long since I got that sign. With the winter and endless snow and freezing weather, there havent been any bunny sightings either. Its all making me feel so disconnected from you and my Dad. I miss you more than words. Theres just no comparison to the happiness I felt when I spent time with you. You are in heaven with the other half of my heart and I wish so much to be with you both. Please know I love you. Give my Dad a kiss for me. I love you Justin Michael. You are my heart, near or far.

I think of these days every single day but every year when the days actually comes it is like reliving it all over again....You are so loved and so missed.

The fact that you would be five in a few weeks is making my heart break. Idk what it is Justin, but I just had all these ideas in my head of things I could do with you at different ages and its just breaking my heart more each day. I think about how you would be at 5, such a little man, maybe even going to Kindergarten next year, Idk. Thinking of you at 5...wow. I just remember the last day I had with you, two weeks before we lost you. I remember feeling sad because you looked like a boy, not a baby and I had such a hard time with that so I probably would be a basketcase watching you turn from a boy to young man, etc. I am babbling. I dont even know. My heart misses you beyond belief. I just know that everything was always better with you...thats why i know you were my angel on earth. I love you, and miss you more than words and I still hope to wake up and find that this was a really awful horrific nightmare.

Where do I begin? Its another new year. I cant believe you would be turning 5 this year. It amazes me to think about the person you would have been...and breaks whats left of my heart at the same time. I hope you connect with my Grammy in heaven....she would love you, but who wouldnt. My heart seems to be breaking more and more everyday and I am becoming so angry and bitter. I still whole heatedly believe that it would all be a little bit easier with you here....you, after all, were my smile. Right now, all i seem to do is worry and cry. I dont know why things keep getting worse...maybe you can help me understand. I am at the point where there is not much hope left because my family and I keep getting hit one after another with sadness. Its starting to take a toll on me. I dont know......All i do know is that its been years, and im just as sad as i was the day i lost you.....I love you beyond words..........

I feel like the worst godmother in hte world. I am so sorry I wasnt there today but I had to be with Dad. I will be there tomorrow. I love you <3
Stephanie Salvato
December 25, 2009
I keep coming to you more and more....I guess thats because things keep getting worse and worse. We lost Grammy today, somewhat unexpectedly. I dont know how much one family can take. PLEASE watch over my Dad, I am so worried about him...he is so heartbroken that he was in the hospital and wasnt with her til her final minutes...I told him I was there with her for him, but its not the same. I know that. I know that because when I was with you, Mom, Dad and Papa, as much as it killed me it meant so much to me to be there. Say hi to my Grammy, she loves kids....and everyone who met you loves you so i know you would make her smile. Shes a fun lady, and you are my favorite person so I know you will make her smile. PLEASE watch over Dad, bring good things to him and this family. I am so sorry I havent been to see you but I have had to spend every second at the hospitals. Know I am thinking of you every second of every day. I love you and miss you.
Stephanie Salvato
December 21, 2009
Well, the procedure didnt happen today...he isnt stable enough. I have been sitting here with him all day....we haved talked about you alot. He misses you, hes said it about 10x today. Please continue to watch over him. The procedure will happen soon if he stablizes and there are still lots of important decisions to be made. I love you and im missing you XOXO

Justin Michael,
PLEASE watch over my Dad...things are just not good. He will be back in the hospital tomorrow and a serious procedure on Monday. He needs an angel right now, we all do. You know how much he loves you. I am sure he prays to you all the time. I know it is alot to ask, but I am not ready to lose my Dad.....please shine bright and watch over him very closely :( I love you so so so much....and I miss you. As hard as this all is, I still believe if you were still here it would be easier.....I miss my heart.

Justin Michael <3 I am sory I havent been up to see you this week. Things have started to fall apart again...I got so sad when I found out my Dad was having surgery on your 2 year anniversary, but then everyone told me it was a sign you would watch over him. I just couldnt stand the thought of losing both of you. I need my angel right now, again. It seems I have asked alot of you this past year, but you pulled through for me in March and im asking for it again right now. Please watch over my Dad and give us something positive right now because I dont know how much more he/we can handle. I am not ready for another angel :( I love you, and miss you beyond words. XOXOXO Stephanie

I cant believe 2 years ago was my last play date with you...Justin, I remember every second of that day. My favorite part was towards the end of the day when you asked to watch the "aminal" movie...which was Madagascar...about 15 minutes through it you asked to watch the "choo choo movie" which was Polar Express...we cuddled and ate M&Ms. I would give anything to have you back in my arms. I love and miss you more than words. You were my angel on earth and now in heaven. I hope you know how much i truly love you <3

Justin Michael,
As you know, one of my best friends from high school passed away on Thursday. Please watch over him. You can take care of eachother. He is the one with the bright eyes and biggest smile you have ever seen. He loves children and he would have adored you if you ever got to meet. I hope you both know what very special places you have in my heart. I dont want to keep losing the people I love and am really at a loss right now. My heart still aches for you every single day and now that pain is even worse with missing Chris. Do what you can for me...show him how to shine as bright as you do. I love my boys. ALL MY LOVE XOXO

Justin Michael... so Mothers Day the worst. No day will ever be the same. I am an emotional wreck. Your lil sister will be here on Monday and it breaks my heart to know she wont get to meet her incredable big brother. I promise I will tell her all about you and how amazing you are. I love you more than you could ever even begin to imagine.I see little boys that are your age and I wonder what you would be like. I feel cheated because I do get to watch u grow, I do not get to hear you say all the little cute things kids say. I probably look like a creep because I find myself zoning and just watching kids... .. Not a day or even a second goes by that I do not think of you or miss you. You are the best son a parent could ask for. Every second of every day. You changed everybody's life for the better when you came into this world... And I know I can speak for everybody when I say you have touched our hearts and our souls and you will be apart of everybody forever. I love you stinka

I am so sad that I will never get to do all of things I had planned with you. I wish you were here....we all do. So many people love you and you touched so many lives in such a short period of time. You changed my life forever, and I will never be the same with you gone. I miss you and am wishing you the best birthday in the world. I LOVE YOU JM My godson, My angel, My heart XOXOX

Happy Birthday Littleman....
I've been dreading this day for sometime now...It has quickly crept up on me.
It's just another reminder of how painful it is not having you here with us anymore. I can still see you waving and smiling at me the last time I saw you awake. And of course I remember the last time I saw you at all.
Fly with the angels baby boy....Enjoy the birthday balloons that we are sending to you in heaven today.
Always remember you have a huge place in aunties heart that no one will ever be able to fill.
I love you Justin Michael....

In 9 days you will be four years old :*( The thought of another birthday without you breaks my heart.....and with Dad in such bad shape everything feels even worse. I wish you were here with us for so many reasons, right now....to make him smile...even though I never would have brought you to a hospital, just being able to tell him a funny story about you would make him smile because he loved you and you made him happy. I miss you, and I need him and im not ready to miss and lose someone else. When I sit with him, and ask him to squeeze my hand I feel like im there with you all over again. I love you, and miss you and more than words can say im asking you to watch over Dad :*( XO
