Missing Joel on his 30th Birthday















We lost our son  Joel last fall. On February 8, 2013, he would have turned 30 years old. My heart still aches for him. In the picture above, taken at his memorial service on November 5, 2012, it almost looks like Joel is looking down on me and my five siblings. Rest in peace, dear son.

    Happy Birthday Bubba Zoobie. Miss you a lot! XOXOXOX
    I know that Mom probably wrote him a poem in heaven and they are having a birthday party!

    Dorene, you are in my prayers today. I cannot imagine a greater heartbreak than losing a child. It is a wonderful picture. It looks like your son is your guardian angel.
