Good Morning and Thank you
Good Morning Dear Sisters,
Another year has passed without Joshua. Nine years have come and gone. Before I know it 10 years will be gone. I want to thank each of you here and the FMO on FB for remembering Josh. I would say "You just don't know what it means to me to have him remembered" but you do. Thank god for each of you. I actually held it together pretty well I think. If I let my mind go there that is when it the tears would come. John and I received just wonderful gifts in remembrance of Josh. The first was a candle with his picture with the words shine on. The second was of of his friends came and had dinner with us on Christmas Eve. That was such a wonderful surprise. They still remember. You moms know that is one thing we fear that our children will be forgotten. My best friend also gave me a beautiful ornament in honor of Josh. Gifts like that mean the most to me. I am just trying to stay busy. My brother from Tennessee is here til the 3rd so that is helping. Keeping me busy.
Just know I love you all and wish you a Happy New Year.

You are so right. We want our children to be remembered.

I suspect Josh, Lisa and the FMO kids had a wonderful Heavenly Christmas.
Wishing you a 2016 filled with love and peace.
Tight hugs, M
What a gift for Josh to BE remembered in such loving ways dear Rhonda. I was hoping that your day and holiday would have moments of peace as that is what I always remember about your Josh. He would want that for his mama and dad that is for sure.
Enjoy your brother and I\'m so happy he\'s with you as I know how these holidays feel too without our parents earth side. Hoping your dad is able to enjoy his family and is feeling stronger too with each day.
Love YOU sweet friend and I know what you mean about our children being remembered and how important it is to us. It just means everything, doesn\'t it...
Happy New Year and take care of YOU too however that might look and feel.
Tight heart (((hugs))) of care,

I understand completely. One of my greatest fears is that David will be forgotten. I have decided I simply won\'t allow it. :) We will always talk about him and if people are uncomfortable, they can just go away. Your darling Josh will always be remembered here. How wonderful that you are having family time with your brother.
Wishing you a Happy New Year.
Hugs,
