Joseph Borges Memoriam

Memoriam In Loving Memory Of JOSEPH BORGES 1/23/1923 - 12/14/2008 Dad, It has been two years since you passed away. We think of you often and especially on this day, we miss you more than words can ever say! If "tears" could build a stairway and memories were a lane, we would walk right up to Heaven to bring you home again. We were lucky we got to say goodbye, but our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow, what is meant to lose you, no one will ever know". Just know you are gone but not forgotten. LOVE YOUR FAMILY

My Dad was the best father you could ask for. At first you would think he was too hard however, as I grew up I realized how much he loved his children.

Hey Dad:

Today is just a day that I feel I needed my Daddy, I know you are watching over us because I feel you everyday but to have you physically here with me is something I still can not come to grips with. They say it gets easier as time goes on but it doesn't you just learn to deal with it but the pain never goes away.On this day August 21,2014 I just felt like I needed to talk to you in this way because I talk to you everyday but I just needed to write to you as well, Again thanks for being MY father and loving me for the 48 years that I had you in my life. Rest in paradise. I will love you always.......

whats up grandpa.It took me awhile to write to you because everytime I start I realize that I am actually writing you and not talking to you and it is truely hard for me even after 3 years. They say time will heal all wounds but Im trying to figure out if that saying applies to me because as time passed my wounds are still soo fresh and I wonder every day if it will ever get any easier. I know your looking down and see your great-grandson and you would have adored him so much beacuse he is a mini you. Grandpa I just wish you were here so you can give the assurance and approval you always did in your own special way. I hope you are resting peacefully but just know as much hell as you put us all through, I would give anything to go through it 1000 times again. I love you and you will forever be in my heart and thoughts!!

I know when your near because I can feel your presence close to me and then I know you are pleased.I made you that promise and I will never let you down ( you never let me down)so rest now my loving father and I will see you again.......Your youngest daughter Chrissy.

December 17, 2010

Hi Grandpa-
I miss you so much, it's hard to believe that you're no longer here. The memories I have makes you feel so near. It's been 2 years and that seems so long, to have my Grandfather gone that long. The strength you possessed made me feel like you would always be around. Your personality was so profound. I miss your voice and the way you made us laugh. We know that you're in a better place now and we're still learning to live without you somehow! Grandpa I know we will never part- because you will always be in my heart!
Love your Grand-daughter Danielle

Grandpa-
Whoah ! Has it really been 14 months that you havnt been here sitting in your chair asking someone a question everytime we walked by ? Wow I can't even belive your gone it's like a fib that everyone keeps saying and I can't even try to belive it. These months have just flown by so fast and I wish time went slower when you were here to spend more time with you. Every-now-and-then I would be sitting in my room and I would here you say "Hey" and I'll just smile and say "Hi grandpa" and laugh because "hey" was your signature word...ahah. What I miss dearly is when you would just get a shave and you'll look at yourself in the mirror and chuckle and say "Well look at that ; I'm a pretty boy" and we would just laugh and laugh those are the small moments that tears you up inside the most but I know one day I'll hear you and see your "pretty" face and smile again. I love you grandpa !

Grandpa,
It’s been a year since you have been gone and it’s weird to pass so many milestones that I know you would have gotten a kick out of. Even though our family dynamics have changed a lot, I know that I will always cherish the stories that you have told me over the years about being a person with strong integrity. I remember our conversation when I complained that I had wished that Steph and I could have spent more time with you and Grandma growing up. You replied that that the quality time that you spend with people will have a stronger impact than the quantity. I know what you meant now because your advice about finances, relationships, and the military have served as an internal compass of common sense knowledge that has been invaluable to me. As I await the birth of my daughter, I can’t wait to teach her Portuguese and German and let her know that you laughed at my accent, but encouraged me to keep working at it. Those were some great times and I can’t wait to hear you laugh again.

And you said then just cry a little bit and we both just laughed.And when the tears fall, I remember daddy and start to laugh. thank you it help.I will always remember daddy. Love you. Again Happy Birthday OLDMAN. Your Daughter.

Grandpa:
It has been over a year now and I still can't fathom the fact that your gone, they say time will heal the pain but it seems like it's harder now than it was a year ago. I talk to you everyday but it's doesn't help when I can't hear you say those "special words" that you use to say to me!! I wish you here to see your great-grandson, you would have loved him soo much because he acts just like you.I know you are looking down on all of saying get-it-together but it's just soo hard to do so. Today would have been your 87th birthday and I just want to say Happy Birthday and I hope you are enjoying it like you want to. I love you grandpa always and there will never be one like you!!!
