Joshua Wells Obituary
12-14-1982 10-05-2003
I've lost a child, I hear myself say,
And the person I'm talking to just turns away.
Now why did I tell them, I don't understand.
It wasn't for sympathy or to get a helping hand.
I just want them to know I've lost something dear.
I want them to know that my child was here.
My child left something behind which no one can see.
My child made just one person into a family.
So, if I've upset you, I'm sorry as can be.
You'll have to forgive me, I could not resist.
I just want you to know that my child did exist.
We love and miss you,
Dad and Alice

I don't know either of you, but I am so sorry for your loss. I have a son who was born in 1982, and cannot imagine the pain you feel right now....still....always. I hope your good memories help ease your pain.

I am so sorry you lost your precious son. I can imagine that it's not something you will ever get over or finish dealing with. There will probably always be a twinge of hurt in your heart that that happens often & you wonder if you will ever heal. That's because you loved & adored him so much that it continues to ache but it also reminds you of him too. Be thankful for the time you were blessed to share with him & know that you were a very privileged person to know him & to be his Dad! May God be close you on this journey of sorrow & loss. An anon person who cares :)
