MeMe's Wedding / Mommy (Mom)
Hey Buddy! Just sending you a quick note the night before your Aunt MeMe gets married.......I am so sad you will not be there physically to join us in the fun - your presence will be sorely missed, we miss you in absolutely everything we do, a piece of our family is always missing. I imagine how handsome you would look in a tux - I dream of what our life would be like if you were still here, I am forever grateful for the time we had with you though. Please stay close to us tomorrow, I promise you, you will not be far from our thoughts...........love you so much baby Josh! XOXOXO Close

Another Mother's Day without you................ / Mommy
Dearest Joshuah, I can’t believe another Mother’s Day is here – whoever said as time goes on it will get “easier” was wrong. I can’t believe that I will be “celebrating” without you here with me yet again. If you would of asked me 10 years ago what I thought my life would be like in 10 years I never would have imagined losing a child as part of it. What a nightmare………… I am forever grateful for you and indebted to God for giving you to me (along with your sisters & brother) – I would never want to change the gift of you, no matter how hard it is to live each day without you, I am so thankful for the precious time I had with you – what a blessing you truly are to me – your days on earth were truly filled with only happiness as were mine. I am sure you hear your sisters talk about you ALL OF THE TIME – boy do they love you! They LOVE coming to visit you & picking out flowers for you & they love coming to your website to write you notes or look at your pictures. Please stay close to me not only on Mother’s Day, but all my days – you are forever loved & missed Baby Josh – there is a hole in my heart that could never be filled by anyone but you…….I sure hope you know how loved you are…………..til me meet again……Mommy

I knew those were signs from you that we were getting! This afternoon has been quite bittersweet little buddy - I know you had a hand in the wonderful news we received today, what a beautiful blessing, another chance to raise a son - to buy boy clothes - oh how I've longed for that, such a simple thing. What I really wanted to tell you was that you will never ever be replaced, this new baby boy will add so much to our family, you however hold one very special place in this family - you made us parents - you will always be our 1st child, our first son, your sisters and now your little brother's big brother. Life is so bittersweet, please know that we love you so much and please continue to watch out for all of us - I feel so very blessed...............thank you little buddy...... Close
Loving you Always / Mommy
Hi Joshuah~ My heart is heavy & my eyes are overflowing as we are a day away from leaving for your uncle's wedding in Texas. Words can't even explain the hurt I'm feeling not being able to take you with us - so many happy memories will be made and you should be there making them with us. Your sisters are so excited and I can just imagine how excited you'd be too. You will be so terribly, terribly missed Joshuah- I beg you to let us feel your presence, I know you will be there........just not in the way I dream of. Hugs & Kisses to you Baby Josh - Love you Forever, Like you for always, As long as I'm living my baby you'll be.

Dearest Joshuah-
I never met you, never held you or touched you. But you are a part of our lives, a very important part of our lives. You touched a part of me, that people can't see. My heart. You are such a beautiful boy. I know you are happy in heaven, but I still feel you should be here. Your parents grieve for you daily, and only they know their pain. They are missing you more than words can say. They will always miss you, until the day they are reunited with you again. Until then dear Joshuah- send them love, strength, and reassurance that they will, in fact, one day hold you again, and get to do all those things they missed. Until then, know you will be loved everyday- by so many people who love and cherish you.
Angie & Dan, I hope you know, that I am so very sorry that Joshuah isn't with you in this life. And I pray that Joshuah sends you lots of love, and sweet remembrances and dreams of him. Sending lots of love your way. I am always here for you, as we walk this lonely road together, missing our sons.

Well buddy, I am sure you witnessed it tonight, but mommy lost it. I've had to endure 1 1/2 days worth of a father who didn't even ackowledge his children when they were in the same room as him. I am so ANGRY. How can someone be in the same room as their precious children and not even say hi. What kind of person does that? What I wouldn't give to be in the same room as you. I had to watch their little faces staring at their father with his new wife & young child while he did things with them that he should of been doing with them too. I am just BITTER over this and so very HEARTBROKEN. What did those kids do to deserve that? What I wouldn't give to have you here with us and here is this guy that has taken his kids for GRANTED and seemingly could care less and on top of it he has been blessed with another baby on the way--I do not understand how God works---why does he get to have another baby when this is how he treats his children---can anyone tell me why? I don't think I will ever understand the "big picture"--whatever that is suppose to mean. These children deserve to have their father in their life. What must go through their minds is unimaginable to me. I couldn't even stay where I was any longer, I left in tears and I had to leave before I made a big scene.
I haven't cried this hard in a long time--I sobbed, I thought I was going to lose it--the tears are still flowing, I won't be able to sleep tonight so be with me, let me feel your presence. I miss you so badly and just want you here with us. I will never understand why this happened to us, we love you with all of our heart and always have, always will. Your sisters cried with me, I may have scared them a bit with my hysterics--send them sweet dreams of their big brother--they never had the chance to meet you, but they sure do miss you too.
Hope you had a great 6th birthday in heaven Josh! I also hope our little Johnna came to your birthday party and ate lots of chocolate cake... God bless you family that continues to miss you so on these special days... johnna-rusk.memory-of.com
Happy Birthday Josh!!!! You are so missed, sweet boy! I wish so badly that you were in your parents arms! They deserve to have you!!! I pray that you bless them with sweet reminders of you, a dream of you, your smell, the softness of your hair, your beautiful smile and sparkling eyes.
Sending many hugs and kisses to you!!!! The Donahue family!
We Will Remember You Author Unknown In the rising of the sun and in its going down, We will remember you; In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, We will remember you; In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring, We will remember you; In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, We will remember you; In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn, We will remember you; In the beginning of the year and when it ends, We will remember you. When we are weary and in need of strength, We will remember you. When we are lost and sick at heart, We will remember you. When we have joys we yearn to share, We will remember you. For as long as we live, he too shall live, For he is now a part of us, As we remembered you.
I can not begin to tell you how lucky you are to have such a wonderful family (you know that, though)! There is not a moment that goes by that their hearts do not ache for you to be with them here. When I was out at the cemetary today you could just see all the love your family has for you as your site is so beautiful with all the birthday balloons and everything. Although with tears in my eyes, I did have to smile at the site and all the love for you there! You are so MISSED and LOVED. Our lives have forever been changed since you left, way to soon. I can not even imagine how much your mom and dad ache to have you here with them. So many times when I look at your pictures I just want to grab you right out of them!! I hope you have a wonderful 6th birthday in heaven!! Know that we are thinking of you today and also of your family!! Lots of love!!!

At supper tonight we were talking about who was in our family--Alexis was counting everyone, including you, I asked her if mommy should have more babies and add to the family and she told me yes, but that she didn't want the baby to die. It broke my heart to hear that come out of your 4 year old sisters mouth. We are all so sad that you are gone, you are so missed, so loved, I'm honored that you are my son and I will never forget your beautiful chubby little face! Close
You are so missed Josh! Wishing you were playing in the leaves with your sisters, and parents. I always sit and wonder what you and Kilian do in heaven. Do you have leaf fights? Jump in the piles of leaves?
