Missing you

I still miss you so much son. Love you.

Those who know me; knew my mom Susan Hesser, her sister Aunt Janet & My Uncle Bob. Josh's great grandparents. You would also have heard the story of my renting a van and my time with the kids on Dec 12th. The evening, I shared driving them all over town Christmas Lights/lots of drive-thru food. I was blessed, it is a precious time I will cherish forever.

Josh..

Here It Is, Another Late Night Spent Laying Here With One Billion Things Running Through My Mind..My Babies Tucked In Safely And Im Laying With Randy..We Were Talking About You The Other Day, We Miss You More Then Words Could Ever Express..You Were Not Only My Husbands Best Friend..But His Brother..And My Amazing Go To Guy..The Heart To Heart Conversations And Endless Laughs..I Miss Those Moments..I Wish I Could Have 5 minutes..5 Minutes To Have You Back..Thank You For...

Hey there Trouble...been awhile since I sent a message in writing to you, but as you know it hasn't been a very good year but knowing Gramma has 2 grandchildren,You & Joan, to keep her busy, happy, & loved does dull the pain of grief some....
Honestly all of us havnt been the same since we lost you but just as Brandon & I were coming to grips with losing you, we lost Gramma. Brandon took it very hard but held himself together as a man to be by Grampy's side, everyday he calls him, you...

Dear Joshua,
Please aid us as we say goodbye to Grandma, please meet her at the gates w your cousin, Baby Joan and tell her we love her, kiss her, and make sure she knows we will ALWAYS take care of daddy, and she isnt to worry. We just want her to be at peace. Please have your cousin and you watch over Grandpy and protect him during this time of HIS loss. Stay in touch with your mother she has been so strong and been there for me. What a wonderful big sissy love she has been, there...

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Watched Josh grow from baby to young man, until they moved to Pittsfield. I've seen the agony and hurt your family has endured from your loss. Recently we have lost a daughter also. You can never really know the pain and emptiness until you experience it first hand. Would never wish this hurt on any person. Heaven has so many beautiful angels....we will see you again someday. All my love and respect.

Josh,
Its 3:10am On Aug 23,2011..Once Again I Find Myself Having A Hard Time Falling Asleep..Wishing I Could Just Turn On My Computer And There You Were To Talk To..It Does Not Seem To Get Any Easier With You Gone.. People Say You Have To Let Go Of The Past And Live For The Future But I Cant Let Go Of You.. You Have Done So Much For Me I Am Forever Thankful For Your Love And Friendship..After All If It Was Not For You, Randy And I Would Not Be Together And We Probably Would Not Have...
