             Holiday season are a very lonely and difficult time for us without our child.Wish you were here with your family.

                                   

May God give us a thankful heart so that we can become a whole person, not just gifted with intellect that can understand, but with heart that  truly  cares and loves.

                                     

Joey , I wish you were here with loved ones, instead of being in our  memories.

My Dearest Joe,

I have been running back & forth to grandma & Grandpa's house everyday. You know grandma is in a nursing home now. I have to take care of grandpa everyday because he is going into his 90's and I have to give him his meds. everyday and everything else, clean the house, etc, etc. Than I take him to the nursing home so I can feed grandma everyday.

Joe, she tells me everyday that you are there with her, she'll say Joey was just here and we went to church together and all different kind of things. Sometimes I have to change the subject because I don't think I can handle it. I just tell her you are watching over her everyday. You know she has alzheimer's & dementia, so sometimes she goes out there, but it seems like alot of the time she is here with me.

I don't know Joe, I keep busy all day with them, but when I get in my car to come home you will always come right in my mind. You will never leave it. I carry you with me always.

I will try and write alot more than I have been writing.

I Love you Baby!!!!!!

Mom always & forever
