To all who knew and loved Joseph, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing someone so young is so difficult. And losing a child is the greatest heartache that life can bring. Incredibly wonderful and selfless to have become an organ donor. my heart is with you all.
Dessa,
What a handsome son your Joseph is and always will be. He's an Angel now and flying high with our son Andrew. The void is not measurable;the pain can't be described, unless you've lived it. I'm sure you feel as I do...no one should have to bury a child. It's a goodbye that we never dream of saying and an emotional roller-coaster that seems to spin out of control at times. I'm not sure why God took Joseph's hand when he did, but rest assured, there was a reason. Andrew died of blunt force trauma to his brain on July 16th, 2005. I assume that some days are actually better than others, but then, without warning, the agony returns. Be blessed and feel comfort in knowing that Andrew and Joseph are watching over us.
