September 9
To my son Joel,
I love and miss you very much. My heart aches knowing I cannot see you or hear your voice anymore. Please remember that I have always been immensely proud of you and your accomplishments in life. Yesterday, your Dad and I held a celebration of life for you. It was beautiful! Many friends and family members attended. There was food, flowers and music. Some gave brief speeches on why they cherished knowing you. Many came up to me personally to tell me about their memories of you. Hearing these things from others helped me understand, even more, what a beautiful and kind person you were. It also reminded me of the vast variety of experiences you had in your life. Although short, you were fortunate to have lived a very full life.
I can’t express enough how much you are missed by me, Jim, and your sisters. Our lives are forever changed now that you are gone.
Love always,
Mom
