Hello my son ! This year went by fast and Connor is growing. 13 going on 14. I always think about what it would be like with you here with us. I miss you and love you with all my heart. Everyone says it'll get better as time goes on, but my heart will always hurt and I'll never forget the last time I told you I love you and the last time I held you in my arms. Time will go on and as long as I have Connor next to me I'll be fine. He's a good kid ! He's just like you !!! I think about you all the time. I love you my baby boy, Merry Christmas ! Love Dad

January 14, 2013
Hello my Darling Boy- You are so handsome babe....I miss you much and it hurts me that I will not know what an old man you turned out to be. You will forever be young and handsome! That's ok I guess. Your Connor is the most beautiful thing in the world! Jaden was lucky enough to go to California and spend some time with him and your Dad and Jenn. Wish I could! He looks just like you too. I know everyone says that but heck, he really does. Like you and like your brother Justan. It makes us all laugh. He's silly. Watch over us - Jesus watch over Joey and keep him close. Bring us peace Lord- you know I have a huge empty void - can't move forward. Its been a dam year and that alone rings horror in my ears. I love you Joey I love you forever and ever and ever Mom

I cant believe all the time thats past. We would always talk about all our "firsts". And this was the first year i had a lot of firsts without you and every time i did all i thought about was what u would think about them. Even though you weren't here with me, Connor was and I'm thankful i have our boy to have all those firsts with me!!! We have so many firsts to look forward to. I'm hoping there are more good than bad. Im not sure how many more bad ones i can take. Either way Connor and I will always have each other and you will be there too I'm sure. I will always have our memories to get me through the hard times. I love you so much i cant even find the words to tell you how much And i miss you just as much!! You will always have my heart <3

Hi Daddy, i know you can't be here in person and mommy and pawpaw say your in heaven. They tell me that you watch over me and that you will guide me as i grow up. I remember you used to sit me on ur lap while you played video games on T.V. I always sit with Pawpaw in his chair and we fall asleep. I am walking and running all over the house now and starting to talk. I will learn to put all my words together soon and ask about everything. Daddy, I wish i could laugh and play with you. I miss you so much. Mommy misses you and i know pawpaw misses you too. He cries when were alone alot, and we talk about you. One day when i grow up i will understand why he's so sad. I'm having a lot of fun with everyone and you should see all the presents i got on Christmas ! Elmo is my favorite toy right now. I sent you a balloon on Christmas and i will again on your Birthday. I have so much to say to you Daddy. Me and pawpaw will write to you every Christmas and let you know how I'm doing. Pawpaw is writing this for me because i don't know how to write and spell, but for some reason he knows what I'm thinking. He says that I'm just like you and i have your attitude. I love you Daddy and i always will. Please tell God to look over you so you can watch over me. Your Loving Son Connor.

Joey,
Every time it rains I think of the time the family was stuck in the shed because it was pouring raining outside. Me and Mikayla were having a serious conversation about some friend troubles and you came in, scooped me up and stuck my head out of the shed door. I got so mad and shoved you away from me, then pushed you completly into the rain, but you took me in with you. Then there we were, drenched from head to toe with cold rain water, but we didn't care. My mood totaly changed and we ran, and danced and just had a blast not caring if we would get sick or yelled at. As people were telling us to get back inside, we had fun with no worries.:) Literally, every time it rains I think of that day.:) I love and miss you Joey.

Dearest Joey. The weather outside today is exactly like it was a year ago. Gloomy and cold. I found myself having lunch today at the same place I went last year after I heard you were gone. Just by chance, actually. That's weird, huh? The family came over for Christmas day. I could tell you were here with us! As I type this right now, from my desk at home, I look up and see your picture; the one I love of me, you and Briana. . making funny faces! It makes me smile every time! There is such a physical void in our lives now. But the memories fill that void in my heart! I was thinking the other day about some of our private conversations. Me trying to be the wise Aunt giving you advice! I have to laugh just typing that: "wise Aunt"! HA! I laugh when I think about the time you were going through your Weird Al Yankovich stage. You would listen to that CD over and over again. I remember you getting ready in the bathroom, and I stood outside of the bathroom door watching you dance and sing in the mirror! Classic! While it still hurts that you are gone, I thank the Lord that all of the memories I have of you make me smile! How proud I will always be to be your Auntie Michelle. So many people love you, and I am just blessed in every way to be one of them! Thank you for loving me. Thank you for bringing Connor and Jenn into our lives! Thank you for continuing to watch over all of us! I love you Joey! Always and forever!

December 26, 2012
Merry Christmas my darling! Wish you were here to open presents and laugh and eat. Everyone's missing you so much. It was a year ago that I spoke to you and that's all I thought of yesterday on Christmas. Our last conversations. They played over and over in my head. I still hear your voice loud and clear and for that I am thankful. Today is a rough day Baby.... a year? Really? I miss you so bad- my chest hurts. My head hurts. My eyes are crusty and red. You know something, Connor looks so much like you and so does your little brother Justan. The faces he makes, the way he dorks around, the way he flares his nostrils! Its all you and he can dance! He dances like you can... very good dancers.... you guys are.
What the hell happened Joey? For real... what happened a year ago today? Why am I without you? Medical reports answer only some of the questions- I have many more. Questions that I will have to wait for God to answer I guess. You are so beautiful. I can stare at your face forever. Learning every curve, every line and every freckle. Your face is always so smooth. You never went through an acne faze did you? Lucky kid. What am I talking about right now? I don't know. My thoughts are all over the place is all....I miss you so bad. Please Joey, watch over me... watch over all of us. Let me know you are ok ---- I want this nightmare to end. Forever yours, Mommie

Today was a day that i wish you were here the most. Not just for me, but for Connor. The memories of when you were his age when we were at nanny's and grandma's for christmas. The expressions on your face when you opened your gifts. Connor had the same. It was a sadness and a great joy, for me to see him so happy. He has a lot of your in him and it shows. I know you cant physically be here, but i know you were spiritually. These holidays in December will never be the same without you. You will never be forgotten. This day and the day after will always be in my heart the most because it was the last days we said I love you from son to father and father to son. Sleep in heavenly peace my boy. I will be with you one day to hear the precious words again that mean so much to me. Merry Christmas Joey I love you !!

(My Christmas Memory Paper for school)
A Christmas Memory
A Christmas memory? Or the memory of Christmas that I remember most? Both? Okay. It was Christmas day the year 2011, it was very cold outside and the family was celebrating how every normal family celebrates Christmas. Yes. It was good day, but the day to follow would not. I decided to spend a few days with my cousins in Leander not thinking that the day after Christmas would be one of the most memorable days of my life and my family's lives as well.
We were having a blast! Playing with toys, experimenting with new technology and games and enjoying each other's company the way a family should, but all of that joy and excitement stopped when we got that phone call, that phone call that would change my perception of Christmas for a long time.
(Ring Ring. Ring Ring.)
The sound of that phone still rings in my ears. My Aunt answered the phone and answered with a jolly “Hello!” and a smile. What she didn't know, was bad news and eruption of anger lied on the other side. She spoke through the phone with “Yes.” “Oh My.” We children were curious and frightful by the sound of her voice. We walked in the living room when we heard her call to us. I was frightened already since my brotherly cousin had worried me from a phone call being very angered and rushed. “Kids, please sit down. We need to talk,” my Aunt said to us with sympathy and worry. We did as she said and took a seat on the rough carpet floor. “That was Keith (her husband, my uncle), and I'm afraid we have news for the worst.” I was definitely frightened now. Shivers tingled through my body and I began to think the worst. ‘My mother? Is she alright? Did something happen? What? Tell me. No don't tell me. What is it?!' So many thoughts rushed through my brain in just a split second in time. Except for one thing, the truth. She sighed and said with a frown, “Out of my children, I know you weren't very close, but to you Shay…I'm so sorry.” ‘What?!' I thought. ‘Of course it's not my mother then right? Right?' “Guys. Joey has passed away this morning in his sleep. We don't know exactly what happened yet, but they wanted us to know. Dear God, I'm sorry,” she said it with a realistic tone, but I didn't want to believe it. ‘Joey?! Really?! The one of very few people I could trust with my life and love with all of my heart was gone?! Impossible! They're lying! Please just tell me it's a joke! Please!' So many thoughts aroused though my mind as I get up off of the now cold as ice ground to run away to think but I can't feel my legs! I drop to the cold ground and sob and sob screaming his name. ‘How could this happen?!' I thought. ‘So young?! He was so young.' I didn't want to believe that my loving cousin was dead, but he wasn't like a cousin to me, but an idol a role model…a brother. I cried and cried with the love of my family around me until I didn't have any tears left. We decided to drive to Waco where the rest of my family lived, including his two brothers (and practically mine) and his mother (again, practically mine). I hadn't spoken the whole drive there and hadn't on the drive back either. Too much ran through my mind at once to where I couldn't contain it. But Joey's brother Jaden (to who was then 16) gave me the biggest hug I have ever gotten but during the warmth of his being, the love I have gotten from him, I could feel the sorrow seeping through his eyes leaking on the shirt. I try to comfort him, but it's hard when I felt the same. His mother, my beautiful Aunt Lisa, was about the same except she hid he face in her arms and didn't look up to notice her son not there, her companion not there, part of her…not there.
I think of that night as if it was yesterday. I still cry when I think about the child he left us, a new part of my family,his father and his wonderful woman Jen sometimes, and how happy they've made me. But I just think now that he is in a far better place, far, far better than here, lavishing in God's love and the beauty of heaven, still watching over me and my relatives to see us grow old so we can soon join him in the end.
Cheers to Joey and a Merry Christmas to everyone I love and to those who feel the same as me on Christmas.
Shay
December 11, 2012
Joey, I have sent a letter to everyone I care about for Christmas, and I am senting one to you now....on legacy.
Dearest Joey,
Your love and happiness has inspired me to do the same thing. Even though you aren't physically here with all of us, doesn't mean you won't be watching over us on Christmas. I know that. Just to let you know (in case you don't already) school is going well; straight A's and B's, band, hanging with friends, etc. I know you are doing well! I love that. Even though I want you here with us, I am very happy that you are in a far better place. I know this Christmas will be different and I will be ready for it, but I won't sob or be sad, I will just think of you in Heaven, where you don't grieve, or get hurt, or are worried or stressed. Heaven as in the place of dreams, the one place that you can do anything you want without it going wrong. I will think of the beauty of Heaven. The clouds and the sun perfectly mushed together where the sun won't get in your eyes but it's still bright and is the perfect tempurature everywhere, even if it is snowing or raining, it will still be 75 degrees with a breeze. So Joey, of course I am sad that you're gone, but I will be strong for you and our family. I will not cry. I will be happy and joyess. What else would I do...it's Christmas you know.;)
Your Loving Cousin,
Shay-Bird
P.S.I love you and thank you for leaving us with Connor. He is the best gift you can give.

I miss you Joey !!! Im slowly falling apart with pain. I truly wish i could see you one more time. I would give anything for that moment just to hold you and look into your eyes and tell you im here for you. I love you so much !!!!
November 5, 2012
Connor looks like you Joey... just like you.... Justan looks just like you only with brown hair. We miss you baby and still can't believe you are gone. It's hard to write anything here... or in a book. My mind doesn't go the direction I want it to. I ask God where you are - is he taking care of you? I love you - your brothers love you so very much. We hope to see Connor and Jen soon. I miss them too. So much - I miss them so much. Will you please watch over your tree and make it come back? Give me some help here son. I wanted to see beautiful red leaves right now- have to wait until next year... Can't wait to see you again- Mom

I keep going to this page over and over wanting to write you something but every time i do i just cry and give up... The saying goes time will heal all wounds well i do not agree time doesnt heal anything all it does it give you more distractions to temporarily make the wounds feel better....... I cant even begin to tell you how much i miss you and how much it hurts me to know ill never have you around me. Every time i look at connor i see you and it kills me knowing hes going to grow up with out you.... Connor an i both love and miss you more than i could ever tell you in words i hope you knew that

Sometimes when I'm alone i know your with me, helping me with all the things that i have to think about and help me try to stay focused. I feel broken at times because it's to much for me. My spirit is down and my heart is still filled with pain, but my will tries to survive. I know you can hear me when i talk to you. I know you can see into my heart and feel the love i have for you. Some days I'm ok, and some days i get by. Some days are hard and some days i cry. I miss you Joey i miss you with all my heart. I will see you again someday my son and we will never be apart.....

How the Autumn Tree Shines
Have you ever seen a rainbow and just passed on through?
Have you ever seen grass so green it was blue? Have you ever seen an autumn tree bloom in the fall, and stepped on its leaes like it was nothing at all? Living made me blind; everything was nothing. Death made me notice the surprises in some things. Now I don't just see greass on the ground, I see its colors. I hear its sound. When the wind blows that autumn tree and its leaves slowly fall, I watch a leave descend and hear its little call. It tells me not worry, that everything will be fine. That it will be watching over my family's lives and mine. It tells me that it loves me, and that it's his time to go. It tells me he will miss me, and will see me down the road He also says that through the years, I will see that autumn tree grow. Watch it shine, make it mine.
I love you

MY MISSING BLUE STAR
There once was a star in God's heavenly night,
Everytime that I saw it it was such a sweet sight.
It shined like a diamond and had blue hue.
It twinkled, it sparkled, and would wink at you.
But one night I looked up, it was no longer there. My beautiful blue star,
It gave me a scare.
I looked to the North, South, East and the West. I just could not find it.
It gave me no rest.
I panicked, I pondered,
Oh were did it go?
My beautiful blue star,
Oh how I missed it so.
So I asked God, please tell me, Oh Lord, where did it go?
My beautiful blue start, I just have to know.
He answered and told me
Don't worry my dear.
Your beautiful blue start, is so very near.
He said do you remember in my scriptures I wrote,
How I created each star?
I gave each one a name.
I wrote it on their front, sides, and their backs,
and that my dear, is a true fact.
So don't worry, don't be sad, don't cry, don't you see,...
Your beautiful blue star
It's right here with me... and its name is JOEY

Our Baby Boy, born with life and love. He takes baby steps to boyhood. Smiles and laughing and playing, not a care in the world. Seeing with bright blue eyes how the world could be so fun. His first sounds are precious noise to our ears. His first words are mama and dada with joyful tears from our eyes. The growing begins with meaningful words of life. He was a handsome boy that could melt your heart with a smile and a hugg. He feels the strength of life and love. His personality grows and a teen he becomes. All the memories we try to hold close to our hearts, some with a smile and some with a frown. Our Baby Boy grows and learns that life has a lot of meaning and responsability. Even though we laugh and play through all our years, we must love our life to live. Our Baby Boy knows the things he must do to achieve his dreams. We try to guide and help him on his journey through life. When he falls, we help him up and explain and understand why he fell. We shower him with our love and huggs so he knows we are here for him always. We give him hope for a good life. He gets education with life lessons he experiences and slowly becomes a man. The day comes when Our Baby Boy brings a beautiful Baby Boy into the world with life and love. We become Grandparents to the most precious gift of all Connor Alan Raye Sparks. We watch as he showers his son with love. All these moments and memories will never be forgotten. As we take in one precious life to love, we mourn one that we lost. We will forever love you Joey and keep all those moments and memories close to our hearts. We love you very much and You will forever be Our Baby Boy

Darling, how I miss you so much. I was blessed this last week to get to see and hold and hug and kiss Connor. Joey, he looks just like you, it incredible! His 2 front teeth have this little baby gap that is absolutely the cutest thing ever! It was hard to let him and Jen leave on that plane. It hurts me so bad.

Sweet Nephew. . .just got back from our family vacation at the beach. You really made your presence known to us! Of course you were there in our hearts, but we all know that you were there in spirit as well. Connor knew too when he showed you his birthday cake! It was so wonderful to have your Dad, Jenn and Connor there. I'm sure you were laughing at the crazy things being done and said. I love you and miss you so much!

I cant believe its been six months today. I miss you so much. It hurts me everyday to walk through our home hold our child and see photos of us together. I try to put on a brave face and tell myself over and over that im ok but im not i try to stay busy and distracted but nothing helps not the new people in my life not the ones who have been there through all of this and not the time thats past. I still need you i still want you and i will love you forever and the day i finally get to see you again you better be waiting for me....so we can watch over connor together. I know you watch over us now and that you will be there celebrating his birthday with us. I love and miss you more than i could ever say you will always be my first love and all of our firsts wont be forgotten xoxoxox

My Darling - Its been 6 months since you left us. I am as lost today as I was the day you left us. Joey, things are never going to be the same again. The void that fills me is extreme. I do not know how to comfort others. I can only say that I am lost. I am hard and very callous. I have a shell around me that seems solid - I do not know if God put this shell there to protect me from outside damage or if I have put it there so I can't get out. I miss you Joey. Happy Father's Day my son. Your first one. Connor will be 1 year old next week. Please watch over Jaden and Justan for me. And Shay. They struggle so much with your death. They're just kids. They are confused and scared. This should have never happened and accepting this as reality, well, its hard to understand. I love you so much my Sugar Bear. Remember when we first started calling each other Sugar Bear? Shaggy from ICP.... he was Sugar Bear in that silly movie they made! You and I loved that movie, didn't we? Keep a nice place for me ok. love you forever my son, Mommie

Your Dad left yesterday- went back to California. Me and your brothers miss him so much already. Can I tell you that your tree has grown and is blossoming so beautifully? You already know that don't you... Your tree makes me happy... but I'd rather have you instead. We miss you honey. Think about you day and night. Nannie wrote a beautiful poem for you... I will add it to these pages. Its called My Missing Blue Star. It's so kind and so full of love. Joey- send us your love and let us know that you are watching over us- I saw your bird yesterday. In my heart you will stay sweetheart. Mom

My Dear Sweet Baby.... thinking about you so very much. Missing you terribly. I know you are watching over us and I thank God for that. Your Connor is so beautiful and is looking so much like you. Your brothers miss you so much - they talk about you all the time. Your posters are still hung in your bedroom that Justan has not inhabited. I must say you kept it much cleaner! The other day I went and bought myself 2 Mickeys beers.... the ones you use to have me buy for you... they are absolutely disgusting! But I drank them.... drank them and wondered how in the world you came to like them.!! Lord watch over us- keep my Joey next you. love you Joe Man -- mommie
