Hey Joey,

hello my dear son...God what a day, what a long time I have not written in this book too!!! I worked and I made it the whole day!! I still have no words that are correct, and never will there be words to describe what I feel. It started with me looking at you as your eyes were closed and it ended the same, undying and unconditional love!! I miss you so much!! Happy birthday ^Joe^

Hello my Angel...yesterday was a terrible day but along the way you made it easier to continue with every passing moment all you did to show me that I am not alone!! Memory may still fail me, but the love is still trying to break thru all that!! I love you dearly!! My every cell is still confused on how to do this! I miss your smile, I miss your hugs, I miss all your insanity on our daily events, but most of all I miss my son and all your love and kind heart!

hello my sweet angel!! I walked in the house today and realized as everyone goes to their bbq's and makes plans for all the big nights out over the long weekend, I LOOK AT YOUR FLAG ON MY MANTLE!! Do people stop and think of you, Robin, Deanna, or Jun? how bout your daughter, mother, or grandmother? I feel so sad and out of control inside, not knowing anything to do about it! I love you, I love your service you gave and the things that you and we all have given up! Thank you for being a great man in the Navy and all you did for your short time in!! Protect all we love and all the SERVIVE MEN AND WOMEN!! I know it was one of your best times and we love you for giving us them times to share with you!

I LOVE You dearly

Hello My Sweet ANGEL!!
I have so many words and nothing to say...I have so many thoughts and feeling but still feel totally numb, except for pain on a daily basis! I want and need to talk to you, we have so much to talk about, I try to talk everyday and the pain and anger comes cause I don't hear your voice. people have no clue, nor do I want them too but the respect is demanded. I miss you terrible!

love always nicole

Dear Joey, In reality, we've never met but through your family's stories and hearts I feel like we've known eachother for years. I know this day is very difficult for most but just know that you are very loved and badly missed. You have an incredible family and an angel for a Mother. I could only wish to have a Mom like yours. I hope wherever you are, you are truly happy and shining down on all your loved ones because they are looking up at you with open eyes and scourned hearts.

February 18, 2009

Wow, your mom said it right when she said that all her babies have you in them, I see it everytime I see a new picture of them, Jayden,Jovan and Tizi, all have you in them, both on the outside and the inside. I wish you now what I wished for you three years ago, quiet, I hope you found your quiet place. And again, give Pop Pop a kiss for all is babies and for me too, tell him Happy Birthday from us all. Love and Miss you honey. Love, Aunt Flosi

Mom

February 18, 2009

As I look at my new pictures of all our babies...I see you, either in their hair, cheechs, nose, hands, smile, their hearts, but I see your love in each of their eyes!! You will always be my beautiful baby boy...my loving strong son...and the most loving man I have ever known! Everytime I look at our babies I see the gift of your life in them. Hold them all and all of us close to you!!

Give my dad a happy birthday kiss from me and tell him I heard him loud and clear today!! I know you are with him today and everyday.

Three years is hard to believe...no words, no hugs, no kisses, no pictures, no adventures, no stories!! The pain is gripping around our throats and our hearts. The beauty of YOU makes it loosen up and breathe.

I love you dearly...I miss you beyond words can ever say!!

Love always Nicole

February 18, 2009

Good Morning Joey,

Hello my son...I'm getting ready for work and it is New Year's Eve, all the memories, walking to Penn's Landing with Robin on one side and me the other...going to second street...you being away and wanting to come home to go to the parade...following you on Broad Street to make sure you were ok...you being picked up as a baby but someone in costume to take your picture...I can go on and on, don't know where these memories are coming from but it is nice to remember something again!! I hate this night, it reminds me that I will be writing 2009 and that means it's going to be three years without holding you or hearing you say MA!! Just about everyday in a persons life they write a date without thinking about it...it is pain staking for me!! I love you so much and I am greatful I'm working tonight, I'm greatful for a job to keep me so busy and my heart from holding me down 24 - 7!! I do what I do cause I have to and the love of our family, the old and the new, keeps me going...and sometimes even gives me a desire to be here!! I wish you could be here to see your face with all our babies...how far everyone has come...how much love is right next to me all the time, you sent me an earth angel!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

Kathleen

December 25, 2008

Merry Christmas my sweet ANGEL!!! I miss you so much that words can never be said. I am starting our new xmas thing, we have a stocking and I have all messages and memories from so many people that love you and hold you close. After we have dinner, we will all sit around on the couch and everyone will read a paper. I'm excited about this but so sad also. Everyone one will be here, there may be a few that couldn't but maybe with this new tradition starting, people can always come by to share in this.

I know you will be at the table in your own special way, there will be something that is shown, give our love to your dad, my dad, Walt, and Jim's family! We will speak of you today, and you can help bring our love to all!!

Stay close as usual, and that was a beautiful catapillar last week!

Love Mom

I sit by myself, drift asleep trying to hold in the tears to hide yet another moment in my day, AGAIN...I wake up right before 12 midnight, my heart racing, beating out of my chest, feeling like I'm in a total panic, I see that I am awake, my heart is still beating, and it's coming to YOUR DAY!! At this very moment, 25 years ago, I looked out the window and cried...scared if I could be a good mother, if everything was going to be ok, I went to the hospital and at 4:56 am my son was born. At that precise moment I knew love, I understood what I was meant to be here for. As soon as this little boy looked at me I knew he would be my teacher.

Well, as I sit here alone, I can't pick up the phone for this big day in our lives. This is 25!! This is a quarter century!! And all I could do is imagine your voice, laughing with you and telling you that your getting old!!

I did get your gift though, I got my phone call a few hours ago!! My phone lights up, with your lil girls face looking at me while I'm in the store, surrounded by people shopping for Christmas. I hear her little voice telling me "Nonna tomorrow is my daddy's birthday and I'm going to the beach with balloons". All the excitement, all the energy, all the love bursting out over the phone! When I woke up it all hit me, and hit hard, I knew in that very second, through the gift of Robin, I got to speak to you, You live in the energy of your little Princess Jayden!! She told me she's going to tell you that I love you for me, she's going to send you kisses, and she's even going to take a picture for me sending you her gift, the balloons!! I was shown how to celebrate you this way a few years back, thanks to a dear friend, a few years ago she wanted the balloons back, now she is so excited to get there for you!!

Thank you for your gift to me!! Thank you to all the people who you have touched their hearts, still celebrate you, my son, my teacher!!
I love you all!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SON IN HEAVEN, HAVE YOUR CAKE, BLOW OUT YOUR CANDLES, GRAB YOUR BALLOONS...THE PAIN IS INDESCRIBABLE WITHOUT YOU...YOU WERE OUR GIFT AND OUR GIFT BACK TO YOU IS CELEBRATING YOUR LIFE!!

Happy Father's Day My Son!!

Everyday you are thought about, spoke about, and truely loved! Your loving heart; your true beauty that came from your heart for all that you love; the pride and love for your family; and on this day...the extreme deep love and passion in your heart for you beautiful daughter Jayden. I say it often, but maybe not often enough, all your love, honor, and respect proves it right you have picked a wonderful woman to have your child. You know and have always known but more important, you can rest knowing she does a beautiful job with your baby girl!!

We will always laugh and smile from our first memory of you not wanting me to take pictures due to the flash, not buying her a two peice bathing suit, to you holding a baby doll sitting on the floor trying to show your daughter how to hold the baby, to climbing into her lil pop up tent and play peek-a-boo!!

With all that in mind as we smile and share all our stories amoung ourselves and with your daughter!!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

June 14, 2008

thank you sweetie, the cycle is broken, finally...the third time she is home with not a bad or sad event. what a relief!!

April 27, 2008

Hi my Sweet Angel,

I look at your ship everyday going to work, and remember how much pride you had being on that and it gives me the strength to have the same in me to go about my day. I met a man yesterday in a wheelchair with the USS JF Kennedy hat on, I intorduced myself and thanked him for his service and told him about you being on the last cruise to Iraq. He told me to tell you thank you also, he don't have a clue how much that meant to me, and our family as a whole. So as the "mom" of our family, you all need to know past, present, and future(even if that ship sit in our "home port") people we can meet everyday still will thank OUR JOEY without knowing what that really means to us!! Our Joey may be gone from our ears and hearts for now, but he is NEVER FORGOTTEN even to strangers!!

I have my tee shirts on today and after a year of having this one tee shirt, it hits me...It says I LOVE MY AIRMAN... I am hitting both of my AIRMEN!!

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO BAD!!

Hold all our babies, and keep talking and seeing our family!!

Love FOREVER AND EVER...TIL ETERNITY!!!!

Kathleen

April 21, 2008

Hi my baby,

I know I'm still hurt but at around noon today will be the time, please kiss my dad for me and remind him that no matter how tough my life has been over these years without him, his pain is over. For knowing that he no longer hurts or is trapped inside that failing body, he taught me to be strong and gave me alot of gifts in my life that I still apply now. Sometimes you just never know til you need to pull it from within, he was part of molding that within, for me.

I love and miss you both so much, this can't be a crying day; this has to be a day to reflect how he has been able to protect me but on a different level, and the dates show that. I will always be protected by both of you so very close to me.

Sad but greatful Jim Kennedy, Sr. was my DAD!!

Words can not express what is happening to me lately...there is no peace. I love you dearly and miss you so much. I listened to your voice on my phone last night and wow so many emotions, I'm so happy that I have that but to hear you, Joe I just don't know if I want you to finally hear me or me just to hear you say MOM...just one more time!! I said so much to you, I changed and moved around so much and you just never heard me. I know in my heart you do and you are not hurting anymore, I just didn't and still don't want my life to be this. It's so scarey to feel all this pain...I am glad I push it away most of the time, I don't don't know how I would ever survive if I don't.

I love you my son...I have told you for so many years and I will continue to all the time!!

December 21, 2007

well my son, you have a niece as you had your sister feel all that you gave her, thank you so much!! I love you and miss you so much! what a nice present...here is a thought about some things too. I have only this sometimes to really talk and explain what I feel and I wrote this last night for your first gift that you gave me and I treasure our time and blessings you teach me daily.

Knowing that life is a gift that you struggle to bring life into the world and you die so quick and gentle. Such an oppsite...such a battle in my head and soul, it will never change, I know some where in my being that my sons death was a gift, but watching the births of my grand children and having the two extreme opposites right before my eyes will never make my heart know that it is equal...life and death... I will never hold my precious baby boy again!! In one breath there is death it is so final!! The breath we take in the struggle of giving birth is so many, hold it, blow it out... it took so many to get here...there were so many in between, and oh my how many lives changed on "one breath"

Our lives are a gift to everyone we have in reach of our eyes. Treasure what you have, hold your babies no matter how old they are. My children are my gift, life and living life

hey honey,
i have been thinking alot about you, like how when you were a child how much you use to always want to go to mom-mom's house...how cute you were...u always did get your way and go, how you and your sisters always fought and snitched on each other, and the toast and ketchup you all use to want me to make for you all for breakfast..how did you guys eat that without no eggs, driving around with mommy and yelling at us for smoking, and look as you got older you started smoking..mommy and i told you that is what was gonna happen. do you believe i live around the corner from the house on 8th street, how i walk by that house and i can still see the three of you, jana and agnes's kids all playing together, how bout the time deanna answered the door when we ordered chinese food...lol and jaclyn with all her bags we had some great times in that house didn't we, i am so happy that i was there to share all that with you.
i miss you so much, it still hurts so much inside..that i start to cry although some of the tears are from the good times we shared, but most of them are from a broken heart,i love you so much joey..i just wish you were here, although i know you are in spirit and in my heart..where you will always be. i love you.

Hey honey, it's Thansgiving!! There is alot I am thankful for but it will never remove the emptiness that I feel when these holidays start...I am trying to be part of, but without you all here, there just isn't any sense in this anymore.
I love you dearly, and Jayden said it so cute, I know you will always hear us talking, and I give you that one, and I had her say it's "gobble day" lol.

I love you my son,
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, I'M SO GREATFUL, I AM YOUR MOM!!!

Hi my Son...well it's October, make sure to give my messages. And I know you won't forget, I know you always remembered me and I still feel you about this time, just the feeling of you calling first thing in the morning!! You are one of three who always do that, thank you so much. I would still give it all to you in a second just to have you here, just to learn what I have and be with all of us again. I love you so much this hurts so unGodly sometimes...I hate that I do this but I'm still greatful that I have this place to go to whenever I need to. I miss you so much!!!

hi joe.
i know its been a while since i last wrote. i had a dream of you last night. you looked like the you i always remember and i didnt want to wake up. the baby asks for you often, sometimes i am at a loss of words... but i know that the right thing to do is to talk about you. so i talk about you. sometimes its easier for me to try to forget everything, or push it out of my mind, but its still there no matter what. she will always remember you, i promise you that.

we love and miss you dearly
