Today for some reason you are on my heart and mind SO HEAVY. Everyone has seemed to go on with their lives while we continue to cope with the loss. Our family has a huge void in it without you. We all miss you so much and my Tori continues to ask for you as if you are in the land of the living. Its just so hard and so unfair. Words cannot express the love that I have for you and the pain the aches my heart. You are my baby brother, our baby brother we all loved you and spoiled you so much because you are our heart. Nobody will ever understand the connection that you had with each one of us. We lived with you, cooked for you, washed your clothes, played games with you, laughed with you, cried with you, fought with you...as a family we are just grief stricken with pain and emotionsl scars so deep only the Lord can heal them. Baby boy we love you, I will continue to love and protect mommy as you would. I just wanns kiss you, hug you hold you, smell you. I miss you Jon and I just want you back. I want things to be like they were before our lives were torn apart by this. Kisses...Lori
