Our little man was in our life for exactly one year. From the moment we knew he was growing inside of me to the moment he died was one year. In that one year he changed us all forever. No other human on this earth can say the same. He was the brighest, most intense entity I will ever know. He came and lit up our lives for too short a time and then flamed out all to early. My little shooting star lives in Heaven now and in our hearts forever. Please let his life remind us all to hold our babies tighter!

You look for words but there are none. NO words NO answers NO reasons. You dont know what to say or do. The only thing I have been able to find is LOVE. The love that we should have been able to give him we HAVE to spread around to the ones that are still in our grasp. We dont have any other option. If not for ourselves then for Joey. The ammount of LOVE he was able to create in such a short time makes me realize that there is sooooo much more we need to do with our time. How much we take for granted. How much we time and energy we waste on the crap that does not matter. The only thing that matters is LOVE. I LOVE my family. I LOVE my daughter. The one thing I do know is that Joey makes me squezze my Lovie a little tighter every night. Sometimes she does not like it but to bad I am the mom. So thank you Joey. THANK YOU for all you have given me.
Love Aunt T

I miss you baby boy. I know that you love it down here and i know that you love me because you would always try to follow me with your eyes when I would leave a room and now you can follow me with your eyes where ever I go. I love you and I hope that your having a great time in Heaven.

Hey little buddy, just wanted to let you know how much I'm missing you. For such a small presence, you were such a big entity, and each day that you are gone just seems to widen the void that you left. But I promise, your memories will stay alive, and we will do our best to not let that void widen too much, by keeping you alive in our hearts and our memories. Since the day you left us, I have started each morning by wrapping myself around your Mom, Dad, and Big Sister in the biggest bear hug I can muster, and just completely enveloping them in love. Thank you little buddy for reminding us what the important things in life really are, and how quickly they can be taken away. You will be forever loved, missed, and cherished in each of our hearts!

Joey-
Mommy and Daddy need a kiss today. If you have a chance to send them one at some point today I think they would really like that. Also if you could have it rain on your sister this afternoon that would be great as well. That is my only request for the day.
Love ya,
Aunt T

For some reason, I feel like the more people who see this website, the less tragic his death is. An innocent child, so full of promise and life was taken way too soon & for reasons unknown. Now, its up to us to keep his memory alive, let everyone know what joy he brought to those around him & try to educate new parents on what SIDS is. We'll miss you little one. Sleep tight in Heaven. I know you're resting better than anyone else is down here. Sweet Dreams.

Was thinking about you alot today little buddy, and missing you terribly. Also really been worrying alot about your Mom, Dad, and Sis. Please just keep sending them lots of your little hugs and kisses from Heaven, like I know you have been! And Father God, I trust that you are giving those kisses right back to Joey from us! Uncle Kirk misses you and loves you little buddy!!!

Mornin Lovie
I was just wondering if you can see how many people are talking about you and hugging eachother tighter because of you. I really hope you can see it because it is quite beautiful. Thanks again angel.
love you always,
Aunt T

Hey there little buddy. Was thinking about you, so I thought I'd write a little note. I'm still having a big struggle trying to figure out why you left so soon, as I know many others are as well. But I know that while I'm here on this Earth, the answer to that question will remain unanswered. So keeping your memory alive is what we have been left with, and I promise you that we will do that. Please keep sending your Mommy, Daddy, and Big Sister plenty of kisses from heaven, and throw some extras out to all the others who love and miss you so much! Your Uncle Kirk loves you and misses you so much!

Do you know who I am?
I have held you in my arms in your deepest despair.
I have pressed my lips on your forehead in a kiss.
I have wept for you in your sadness.
I have danced with joy when you talk with me.
I have shouted your name with love when you reach for me.
I went to the darkest of darks for you.
I rose to the highest of highs for you.
My arms ache to hold you again.
Look and you will see.
I have given you eyes of clarity.
No more weight upon your shoulders.
I have taken it all and carried it for you.
Believe in Me.
Love me and let me love you.
I am not elusive.
I am not a dream.
I am real.
I stand here before you.
Just reach for me.
I am not a wisp of cloud that floats away.
I am not a wave that recedes to never be seen again.
I am forever and more.
Let me be your friend.
Let me be your love.
Let me be your life.
Let me love you.
You are my child.
You are my beloved.

JESUS

We used this poem for Kaitlyn's memorial card and I thought I'd share it with you in memory of Joey. Take care.

-----

When God calls little children to dwell with Him above,
We mortals sometime question the wisdom of His love.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child
Who does so much to make our world, seem wonderful and mild.

Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold,
So He picks a rosebud, before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, and so He takes but few
To make the land of Heaven more beautiful to view.

Believing this is difficult still somehow we must
The saddest word mankind knows will always be "Goodbye."
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind
Must realize God loves children, Angels are hard to find.

Aunt T is mad today Joey. I am mad because I want to hold you and kiss you and feed you stuff that your mom would not want you to have. I want to give you gum. I want to play with you and listen to you laugh and tell you to sit down and stop running in the house. I am mad because I am not going to be able to do any of those things and somehow I am supposed to be ok with that. I am mad because I dont understand why that is. I love you and miss you more then you will ever know. I hope you are doing all those things I am just jealous that it isnt with me.
I love you,
Aunt T

There is so much to say, bu, how do you say it? I've been on this website plenty of times since my bobo left and I have read all the nice things people have said but I havent had the strength to write my own.
Now I do.
Joey,
Aunt Teena misses you! I miss you so much, There is nothing I want more than for you to be back. I want you to be here teething, crawling, walking, being a beautiful baby boy i know you are. It's not fair that we cant see that. I want you to be here with Abbie. God she reminds me so much of you I have a hard time even looking at her. In the same breath however, she is more beautiful to me because of that. I can only imagine what mommy and daddy are going through. I couldnt possible fathom loosing Abbie. The pain of even thinking it is hard enough I dont know how there so strong enough to live it.
Just know that you have so much love down here, and every peice of it is thrown your way!
Make sure you keep and eye on us ok? We all need your strength. Keep Abbie smiling, she loves talking to you I can tell.
I LOVE YOU LITTLE MAN!!
Thank you for, everything!
Always and Forever
~Teena~ <3

Just thinking of you Joe, seems to be the thing here lately. I have my good days and bad days. I cant beleive you birthday is next month. Time has somehow managed to fly by and yet stand still since that day you left. Everyday Abbie gets bigger is just another day of change in you I wish I could see. Do you see how big Abbie is getting? she's strong, just like you were. I love you Joey. Send a kiss my way, I sure would like one from you! Make sure you kiss Mommy & Daddy & Kayla too.

BoBo,
I miss you so much, and I still dont understand why you had to leave. You had so much life to live. Watching Abbie grow up, and now getting teeth is such a bitter sweet thing. Knowing you cant HURTS so bad. And the other day Abbie had her first fast food frie. That was one of the things that hurt in the begining, that you cant have them. Then i relised that you have all the fast food you could ever want. Not a second goes bye that I dont think of you. Now that i got abbies name on my wrist you will be forever linked in another way. Ill never take ur bracelet off or you out of my heat. I miss you. hope your enjoying yourself. Kiss everyone for me!

LOVE YOU FOR ALWAYS LOVE YOU FOREVER
