I'm Joshie's aunt.His mother Melissa J.Yatsko Konwalski's my older sister and I've loved Joshie since the day I came to Washington to meet my newest nephew. He was beautiful. I was 19,4-8 months pregnant w/my son Nick. Josh & Nick ended up both being the tallest sibling in their families being over 6ft. Joshie was the sweetest and most caring person I ever knew. I use to "tease n torture" my nieces & nephew but not Joshie,he was my favorite. When he went to live with his father and his family I was sad but also extremely excited for Joshie cuz now he gets to have 2 families.. I don't know what happened between his parents b'cuz it wasn't my place to ask n it didn't affect our relationship.. I loved seeing him,n kissing on him to embarrass him n make him turn red... I was so sad it had been 4 years since I seen him face to face n got to touch him. I was shocked to know it'd been that long for his mother also. He was in constant contact and had beautiful relationships with his(Joshies) nephews. He was a great Uncle. Joshie I'm sorry I ain't seen u in a few years but I love u so much n I miss ur big innocent smile and I'm so sorry for not telling u sooner how much u really mean to me. I know ur 22 but I still see u as an 18 month old on my hip honey. I love you sooo much.. til we see each other again.. u have a beautiful time n do everything u couldn't hear. I hope 1 day u and I will swim the ocean with the most beautiful fish and pirates and everything amazing n awesome

I remember when I use to carry u around when I was pregnant with Nicholas. I was your favorite person, use to make your mom Melissa Konwalski so dang mad. Joshie I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you in the last few years but I need you to know that I loved you sooooo much. I hope you're at peace and finally found the happiness you looked for in life that you didn't have. Love you always honey... I miss your beautiful dorky smile. We all miss you.
