"3:09 pm - 4 weeks ago today - My beautiful son left this earth. How we have managed to go 4 weeks, I'll never know. Moving one foot in front of the other is all we can do. I see pictures of him and feel like, for just a second, that he hasn't left us. I miss his beautiful face, his quirky and fun personality, his generosity, his never ending thirst for knowledge (and sharing it), his jokes and pranks, seeing him love and pick on his sister, watching him dote on and play endlessly with his little brother. I miss his hugs. I miss his goofy faces, especially when I wanted to take a picture. I miss hearing about his adventures; his wishes; his dreams. I miss the random texts just because he missed me or to tell me what he was up to that day. I miss his voice. I miss buying him things - whether it was graphic tees from Target, or fancy dress from Kenneth Cole, or Vans shoes. I miss his cooking, and his cooking tips (and learning how I sort of did everything "wrong" - haha). I miss family game nights with his laughter. I even miss hearing about vapes and vape tricks! (seeing videos recently - he was quite good at the tricks!) There is just such a void in our lives.
Anthony, you are missed beyond words. We can only hope to live our lives serving others and being good, following your example in those things - and can only pray to see you again one day. Jason says Jesus is taking care of you now and tells me not to be sad. The joy you left behind, we hold that close to our hearts."
