I am so terribly sorry to hear about this tragic, senseless violence that took your beautiful son away from you. His aura and positive energy are so evident from his picture. I lost my brother very suddenly this year, and still some days it does not seem possible. He was 37 and getting married and becoming a dad. I will pray and ask him to make sure he goes to find Joshua in heaven. My brother was the apple of our family’s eye and we miss him so desperately. The thing that has helped me the most so far is reading, “Proof of Heaven” by Dr. Eben Alexander. God bless you all. I like to think my brother is playing basketball with Kobe. Maybe Joshua can join their game.
