5 years. It hurts everyday that you're not here. You taught us love and we've learned from that. Love does not diminish. Always missing you. Love you. We will never forget.

Today is your 18th birthday and as always my thoughts are of you. Nothing can take your place. Your not being here hurts so much. There were so many things that I'd looked forward to seeing you accomplish and wanted to do for you. They say time heals all wounds. The wound and pain of losing you can't be healed. I love and have loved you so much. Your dad is now with you. That does not ease my pain and I know I will never stop crying. Losing you has taken a part of me.

My bro pother Joshua, we've known each other since we was knee high!! you and your family was the first people I met when I moved to Burr st. We grew a bond so close I don't think no one could've broken. Not a day goes by where I don't think about you and how we use to do so much together growing up. It hurts knowing you're gone but you're in a better place one love homie!!

It's been three months and my heart aches everyday that you are not here. Love endures. You have always been amazing and I am so thankful to have been a part of your life. My thoughts are of you always.

Joshua, it's been a month today since I heard you voice, saw your smile and held your hand and my heart hasn't stopped aching. I don't know that it ever will. I know you're in heaven. Maybe heaven just got a little better because you're there. Because of you, I know what unconditional love is. I love you.
