On John's 1st year anniversary, I'd like to acknowledge a poem which defined a part of his personality.
"Lo there do I see my Father and Mother"
"Lo there do I see my Sisters and my Brothers"
"Lo there do I see the line of my people. back to the beginning"
"Lo, they call to me, to take my place among them in the Halls of Valhalla...where the Brave may live forever!"
Live bravely forever John!

I went and saw you last month when I was in New York. It was so weird not being able to see you at Gram's and give you a big hug! I miss you and think about you everyday! I pray that you are watching over our family and protecting us. I love you with all my heart.
