Not sure what to say?

Joshua it seems like it was only yesterday that I got the news. You are on my mind daily and in my dreams. I hope you are coaching the little angels in baseball and you all are winning every game. Joshua you made everyone feel important and loved. You respected and cared for anyone that crossed your path. He was so full of love and had a smile that would light up a room. I know you are my Angel watching over me. I miss you my little man and Chacha will always have you in my heart. Love you...

My son, it brought such joy and pride to my heart to say those two words. Now I must rejoice in in the confidence of seeing you again soon.
Your mom is great, such a blessing to me and to everyone fortunate enough to meet her.
You're gonna be an uncle!
Yes Daraboo and Jordan are having a little one ❤.
A Boy!
Love you My Son

Today March 3rd is a day I will never forget. Joshua it has been 15 years ago that I received the bad news. It seems like yesterday. I just wish that you had realized how much you meant to so many people. You touched so many with your kindness, beautiful smile, soft voice and love for your Cats. Pru is still with me. You are my little man and no one will ever take your place. Love and miss you so much. Cardinals visit every day so I know you are here with me. Love and miss you so much....

The man himself, I miss ya buddy. I’m still out here coaching these boys like you did for me. Around this time it’s almost impossible for me not to think about you. What I would do to have a beer and chat with ya man. Love ya Josh

Joshua forgot to tell you Pru is still doing good. Still so loving and loves to stay in my lap. She is so loving. Pretty as ever.

Joshua I feel like it was yesterday that they came and gave me the bad news. Oh how I wished I could have talked to you, tell you how much you meant to so many little boys and grown ups, how you touched so many lives with your beautiful smile, your soft voice, your kindness and love for animals and people. I know you are with me every hour. I have lots of Cardinals that visit every day. You were my one and only little man and you will always be that. Joshua I love and miss you so much. I know...

Joshua you are on my mind every minute. When I had my surgery you came to me in my dream and said “Chacha don’t worry. I got this, you are going to be ok”. Well Josh everything was ok. I love and miss you so much. I know you are watching over me everyday. Love and hugs my little man. Pru is still with me and is so loveable like you. ❤❤

Joshua my little man I miss you so much. Love you so much. ChaCha
