"I'll See You Again"
Remembering Joey today: November 17, 1967- April 16, 1997
It seems surreal that Joey has been gone for 15 years. How can that be? Since he has died, both of us have retired from our jobs, purchased a lake house, celebrated two weddings and the birth of a granddaughter....living, persevering, even enjoying life as we continue to live for God...but all the time, aching for the one who is not here. I have come to realize that this is a life-long ache...for even though Joey is gone, my love for him still lives. This journey has been very bittersweet...wishing he was here, yet grateful he is with God and no longer in any pain or sadness. I miss my son. Grateful that one day, we will be together once again. Below are some random pictures of Joey...some of them displayed in the years past...but sadly, I've realized that with his being gone, there have been lost opportunities for new pictures. However, it is important to acknowledge Joey and his life...to always remember him; for he was a gift from God and a very valuable part of our lives...deeply loved. Also included is a beautiful song that expresses my heart.
