6 years Joshua, still hard to believe. Heart aches for you every moment of every day. I don't suppose that will ever change, Price of love. You are so loved always and forever. It's Friday the 13th again, 6 years later. There is suppose to be a full harvest moon tonight so I'm going to try to find the light and believe the full moon on this Friday the 13th only means your going to be extra near us all though I know you're always with us. Bound by love, Family. I love you Joshua, Mom

Sure are heavy on my heart son. Just missing you so much. It certainly don't get easier but at times if feels harder than ever. Right now all I can seem to do is think about you an remenince. Was remembering the last time we all went out to dinner. You weren't in such a good mood. Kind of upset with your friend whom you had made plans to go to the movie with an he wasnt proving to be dependable that day. If he had been then you would not have been available to go dinner with your sibs an I that evening. Guess though upsetting to you it worked to our benefit, we got that one more dinner at Chelinos together. I'll forever cherish every single moment, every single memory shared with you my son. I miss you more than words can express. I love you Joshua with all my heart now an always, Mom

Joshua, it sure has been awhile since Ive visited this page. I guess there just isnt anything left that I havent said a million times. The millions an millions "I love you and miss you" Ive spoke is thought millions upon millions more. Sometimes I get mad but mostly Im just tired and so ready to join you. The world is not a happy place anymore though I do try to see the beauty in it as you did. I sometimes think you were truly spared because for you the world was a happy place and Im not so sure you would even see as being so now. I mean sure you would make your life happy as you could and all of us you love as well but this world has gotten so bad and the things happening in it is more than I care to see or be a part of. Josh, Im always thinking about you and you know that. Just because I havent visited this page or logged many written words doesnt mean your in my thoughts any less. It only means this has gotten to hard for me. I can barely do this anymore and I fight with every waken breath to not focus in on my thoughts of you. Its to painful son but holding all this pain in is getting to hard to. I just cant explain but God knows, he can explain. Oh gawd how I wish you were here. Im tired. Love you son

Missing you everyday brother. Sometimes I still sit in disbelief thinking about you being gone. I don't think it will ever feel real.
Can't wait to see you again. Love you Josh.

Baby brother... They say time flies when you're having fun. Well, I've discovered that time flies when you're missing someone too. I can't believe how fast the last 2yrs have seemed to go by & I think about all the years I have left & wonder if I'm experiencing life at all? I try. There's so many things left to see. Kyler just turned 16 & I know that if you were here you would have loved letting him drive you around in your jeep. You probably would have taught him how to go muddin.
I guess I can't spend too much time dwelling on what "might have been", instead I'll hold onto the memories we have & look forward to the day we're all together again.
In the meantime I'll strive to make new wonderful memories with our family because I know that's what you would want. It's just that each new memory feels incomplete...
I know.. I know.. Still dwelling.
I love you Joshua.
Send me a song today please.

Well your second heaven birthday today. I sure hope your new life is beautiful, amazing, and full of joy! I couldn't bare it another moment if you were any less than happy as you were in your life here on earth with all of us who miss you so very very much. Our lives will never be the same but yours will neither, yours is even better. One day we will get to join you an share your incredible new life with you. What a day of rejoicing that will be, can't wait! Can't wait until our family is reunited again never to suffer no more, to never shed another tear. That party in heaven! I love you so much Josh. Everyday, though I fight not to, I am thinking of you. No matter my actions, my thoughts, trust an believe you are there. You are always with me! I carry you with me always every moment of everyday, you remain with me in my heart and in my soul. I miss you son but I know your life is way better now than any life here on earth could ever be. My grief is selfish. I know your full of joy, probably in total aw of the wonders before you. I love you Joshua, you will always be my Halloween pumpkin. I would not give Back those twenty three yrs for anything at all. I would rather suffer eternity than not to have known the love an joy of life with you on earth. I won't have to do that though, God promises we will have eternal life together with him in heaven. Our family will be reunited so this I hold on for. Well son I guess that is enough blabbering. Miss you son, can't help it. I'll be seeing when God decides its time. I'm pretty sure it won't be so long and he will be calling all his children home. Xoxoxo, All my love always-Mom

What is left that I haven't already said. I miss you so much Josh. They say it gets easier as time goes by but I disagree, it gets harder with each passing day. Lately it's been so hard that I can't really look at your pictures other than a quick glance. The ache in my heart is indescribable son. There is not a moment in any day that you are not in my thoughts. No matter what else I have going through my head you are there with it. If I allow myself to keep you onn front burner then I can't breath and my chest feels it's going to explode. I can't do it very long at a time. I just can't Joshua. I want to but the ache in my heart becomes physical and most painful thing I have or will ever endure. To think about good times hurts even. People always tell me to think about all the good times as if it will make me smile but what they don't get is that Is what brings the tears. There are only good times to remember and that's why it hurts so bad and why i miss you so much because you made us all happy. Son we try but that genuine joy and happiness we all once had seems to only be a mask that we wear each day now. I go to bed each day knowing when I wake that it will be another day of missing you and fighting off the pain. I love you Josh and I miss you. We need you, I need you. I need you to bring the happiness back to our family. Tired of this mask I wear. It's Christmas time son. I have bought more gifts than I've ever bought in my life because shopping helps keep my mind occupied while still thinking about you. Im all done I think though. I plan to pass out gifts few days before Christmas because Christmas day I'm going to spend only with you. I'm ready for us all to be together again. I wish it would happen now. Just miss you every second of my life. Goodnight Joshua, I love you baby

Well, brother, September is almost over. My house smells like apple pie & greens. I cried today while i was doing the dishes. It was such a beautiful day & with the fall smells I just expected you to walk in the door, but of course you never will again. To think that hurts so much. I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach & then the tears come. I have to push you to the edge of my mind most days just to get through. It's still so hard to accept & I don't really want to.
Gotta go now. Vic is about to smoke some ribs. Another meal you shouldn't be missing.
I love you brother. I miss you so much. More than I ever imagined.

Well here goes another holiday without you. It's Easter. I miss you so bad. They say the first year is the hardest. But the longer you're gone the more I miss you. So I can't imagine how much harder it will be when I have to miss you more everyday as time passes. I wish I could remember last Easter. I don't remember what we did last year. I do remember our last July 4th together, and it was awesome last year. I'm thankful I'll have that memory. I feel scared as time passes that I won't remember things because my memory is so bad. And now all I have left is my memories. I'm afraid of losing them. I keep having dreams of you but you're a little boy. They're like I'm watching an old movie kind of dreams. Maybe my brain is helping my memory in my dreams. Heather and I are going to a TAPS retreat in a couple of weeks in New Mexico. TAPS has been a great program. I just wish we didn't need the program. But it is comforting that there are other siblings all over the US just like us who are missing their soldier sibling too. It's hard to comprehend that anyone else could possibly hurt like we do. But on the same note, I know that others do, and it makes this grief journey not feel so isolated and lonely outside of our family. It reminds me that it's a part of life for everyone whether I want to believe it or not. Maybe it didn't happen in the order I thought it should have. But it happens to a lot of people every day. Hey, TAPS is publishing a poem I wrote you in their magazine soon. I'll show it to you later. I can't wait to see you again one day. I love you.

I sure am missing you Josh. My heart aches to hear your voice, see your beautiful face. My arms ache to just squeeze you tightly an never let go. A phone call from you ending with love you would be worth more than all the gold in the world. What I wouldn't do to have you back, I would do anything except sell my soul to the devil an even that would be tempting. I miss you so very much an the pain in my heart is sooo intense and never ending. I love you my precious an beautiful baby boy. The man you became made me so very proud, you always made me proud but grew to beyond my expectations. You made us all proud the same way you were proud of all of us. Ubuntu! I love you Joshua an one day we will all reunite again for the most joyful day ever, never to be separated again. Until then you will remain forever held tightly in my heart an soul. I love you baby. I'll be thinking of you always an I'll be seeing in my dreams. Hugs an kisses, love mom

Brother, idk why every time I say I love you on here a question mark pops up afterwards. There is no question about it. I love you & the rest of our family with all of my soul. I never knew it was possible to miss someone this much. I remember how sad I was when you went to afgh & how I cried all the way home after dropping you off with your unit listening to "sidways". I thought that was the worst feeling ever... I was so wrong. Nothing compares to this emptiness & I hope I never have to experience anything else close to this. It hurt when grandad left us just a week after we laid your vessel to rest, but at least I knew he wasn't hurting anymore. I love you & Miss you everyday Joshua.

Today I'm thanking you for your loyalty, devotion & bravery. History has taught us over & over again that freedom is not free. When push comes to shove, the ultimate protectors of freedom & liberty are the brave men & women in our armed forces. Heaven was needing a hero- someone just like you.
Miss & love you Josh. <3
