All the holidays have passed, the kids had a great christmas!! We all wrote you letters and stappled them to a yule log and burnt it in the fireplace xmas eve. Everything is so different with you not being here. We all miss you so much...the holidays arent the same without the sound of your voice and laughter. I hate it when people say it will get easier in time...I dont see how it can get easier when nothing can be changed...your there and we are here..that will never get easier!! I hope you had an amazing xmas with all your friends and loved ones that are there with you!! I love you my precious son...forever and a day!! Sweet dreams!!

Well halloween is over and Thanksgiving is getting closer. All the holidays are so hard without you. I miss you everyday and think about how lucky I was that I was chosen to be your mom. I do thank God that I had 21 years to watch you grow into the man you became. I do wish it was different I wish I had you with me for all my days here on earth but for a reason that I will never understand you were called home long before any of us ever dreamed. We all miss that great big smile and your excitement for the holidays!! We are all hoping you will be with us in spirit although its not the same its all we have. I love you so much buddy and I could never put into words how much I miss you!! I wish you more peace and happiness then you have ever known..Goodnight buddy, sweet dreams!!

Hi buddy I wish I knew how you are doing, wish you could just say "I'M okay Mom" one more time!! We just found out Your brother and Taylor are expecting a baby due the end of May. I know you would be so excited to be an uncle!!! Everything is so hard...I am happy for them... yet sad at the same time because I sit and think that it is another thing you will not be here for and it reminds me about all the things you will be missing out on. We all miss you so very much!!! The babies talk about you all the time. They want to paint you pumpkins for halloween to put at " your special spot" You are always in our thoughts and hearts...forever and always!! Momma loves u...night baby boy!!!!

Whyyyy.....? :'(

Joe,

I wish i was going to see you this weekend at Gradpas for moms birthday..

Today has been a very rough day for me. I miss you so much..its unreal.

A friend of Kyle and mine, just passed away in a car accident Friday morning. He kind of reminded me of you in certain ways, and his accident happend almost the same way as yours. its been so hard.. but its really hit alot of people, and changed so many lives. everytime i get into a vehicle, its the seatbelt that i think about first.

I hope you are looking down on us, and helping us though.

Cant wait to see your smiling face in heaven someday!!!!!

You better be waiting for me!!!! I love you with all my heart!!!

There is just so much i'd like to say, but i just cant seem to ever put it in words. but i know you know exactly what im trying to say.. i just wish i could wake up from the horrible night mare, but i've been waiting since i first heard. :(

P.s. it's never a good-bye, it's a see ya later !!!! :')

LOVE ALWAYS, Rae <3

Remembering our last moment together we talked we laughed we gave each other a big hug and kiss said love ya and see ya later as you walked out my door I never thought for a min.that you would never come back I never dreamed that would be your last words to me.. tomorrow you will have been gone for a year and its so hard to believe it has been that long I miss you so much buddy I cannot find the strength to say goodbye to you, I often sit and wait thinking just maybe you will find some way to come back home..Reality tells me that wont happen but my heart wishes it would!! I do all I can to keep your memory alive, that is all I have. I sit tonight wishing for just one more moment with you..wishing to see your smile and feel your hugs...I love you Andrew I always have and always will!!!!!!!!!
