Most of you know about my son, Joshua's passing on July 4th. This is a very hard road for a Mom to travel down. The Lord is giving me His strength to take one day at a time and get through that day. I miss him so much that, at times, it hurts and at the same time I am rejoicing that Josh is with his Savior, Jesus Christ, and has no pain or worries!!! That is a Great thing :-) still he is my boy and I will always miss him and love him. Thank you to all who have cared and prayed for us during this time and for your kind words about Josh.

Im missing you so much it physically hurts. Every night i'm outside looking up @ the stars for hours just wishing u were watching them with me.. U were always there when I would have 1 of my breakdowns about dad. We met not long after I lost him but I know now u have met him. U always said u wanted to just to know the man that raised 5 kids that loved him so much & 3 grandkids that absolutely adored him. & ask how he could possibly have let so many of our friends live in his home & him treat him as his own.. I know as soon as u went to be with our lord u of course saw your nana u always said how much she meant to u but I know after that u had to meet my dad.. I wish I could have you both here my life would be complete & I would never ask for anything again. Since I know that won't happen ill wait patiently & do my best to live my life with my babies. But I know u 2 will be watching over us & everybody u loved.. Until were together again I luv you. & the nickname luv-bug I will cherish forever & you will always be my LUV.... I <3 U
