Joe you were his love not his "special friend" . I hate that this was written that way. To much outside influence and had no strength to fight it. I´m very sorry. If you read this please accept my apology. Mom

Christopher I have been thinking of you a lot not that I don´t everyday. I miss you so much. You have missed so much. I wish you were here. I love you. Love Mom

Hi Baby, another birthday remembrance. Hard to believe ten years ago you were on the phone happy and excited to be coming back and we'd be together again. I miss you, always will...

August 25, 2017

Hi baby, another birthday has come and gone. I wish you were here. As you can see nothing much changes around here, inside and outside of my life. Your suite case still in the spot you left it...

Love you for always.

Hi baby, two years since my hart ache started and it still aches just the same :( I've tried to move forward though I'm not sure what that means and I'm pretty sure my approach has not been a smart one.I just miss you and wish you were here.You know, everything here reminds me of you. Whether in the house or on the roads around here. I guess that wont ever change and maybe it's not supposed to. Well, I put up our xmas tree and hung up all our ornaments. still looks the same. I'm glad you talked me into getting it. It warms the house a little.I finally watched Maleficent.We were supposed go watch it together when it came out, remember? It was different. You would have enjoyed it. I love you baby, always will.

Thinking of you today. Yesterday was six months and I still miss you tremendously. In two weeks I will celebrate four years sober and I am so grateful that I had you along for part of that journey while you were here on earth. Now you are still traveling with me, just from above. I love you.

Hi baby, I'm back again… lol. I guess I'm sounding like a broken record by now. This time I decided to leave you a note. And I'll probably do that from time to time just to see what I'm saying or ‘ve said. Well, I made it through Valentine's Day… sad sad day with out you babe, but I'm still here beer in hand… though I was thinking of taking a break from that… not easy… justifying because of my lonely heart or the emptiness I feel without you. In time though, god willing, I'll be smiling again. I miss you so much. Love you for always.
