It's been 6 months since Joseph left us. Sometimes it feels like years, others it feels like yesterday. I miss my son so badly. I miss his chuckle, his smile, his beautiful eye lashes. I miss him being here, period. 

 I know that Joseph loved everyone so much. We had the best mother son relationship. I was always so proud of him and loved him so much. I still do. I miss you so much, Joseph. 

Joe and I met when I was 23, I remember walking into our local bar and when we met eyes, I’d never felt anything like I felt in that moment. It was like I walked through and he knew I was coming. I didn’t know how much our relationship would continue to grow after that. 

My stubborn, passionate and loving man was a force to reckoned with and he breathed life into every person he met. I felt like I started to have purpose. Joe, was and always will be my sunshine. 

Joe and I had many adventurers together, a journey of life and a journey of discovering new things about one another. He never failed to shock me with his skills and, yes, gaming skills. Always so impressed and I loved seeing how much he lit up when he found a new way to do something or accomplished his goals. 

Joe asked me to be his wife on September 21, 2024.. without a doubt in my mind I said yes and even though my sweet man is gone, the love we shared will last me an eternity. 

I hope his family takes care of one another during this difficult time and holds each other a little bit tighter. 

Rest in peace, my love. 

I love you, forever and always.
