I can’t tell you how hard it is to go to Chicago and not see you and stay up all night laughing. I can’t tell you how hard it is saying goodbye to your spirit and bawling my eyes out. I miss you so much and cry every day for you. Losing you was one of the worst pains I have EVER had to go through.
Several days have passed and the shock is still surreal. I keep telling myself that it is okay because you are with God, but when I hear a song, look at your photo, or have a moment of peace to myself; I start to break down. Joey, you were the epitome of joy. Anywhere you were, fun, laughter, and smiles came with! You always had the right words to say and was never afraid to share your thoughts. People loved you because you were such an awesome person! Selfless, caring, loving, hilarious, and I hadn't met one person who didn't like you❤ I have beautiful memories that I will forever cherish in my heart until we meet again dear brother! You were the best oldest brother any sister could ask for.
My son Joey, you are my first born son. I remember when you were born like it was yesterday. You took my breath away. When I held you in my arms, I never wanted to let you go. Even though you were not raised by your mother after you were 4 years old, I thought of you every day. I can only hope and pray that you had a happy life. I know you have accomplished so much in your life; becoming a nurse, your artwork, engaged in sports and travelling. I know you are safe now in Heaven and no one can ever hurt you. You will always be in my heart and missed every day until the day you greet me, your siblings and other family members. I love you forever son 🌹❤
