That Time of the Year Again
Good Morning Dear Sisters,
Well it is that time of the year again. Josh's birthday on the 6th and 10 year angel date on Christmas Eve. Since Josh's accident I have always hated this time of the year. Wished I could go to sleep and wake up January 1st. Josh would have been 26 on Wednesday. I am sitting here looking at a picture of him and woundering what he would be like. Would he be married? Would John and I be grandparents? You all know the questions and no answers. Yesterday at work his twin came into the store. His hair, the way he stood everything about him was Josh. Talking about beening in a funk.
This year for his birthday John and I will be arriving in Branson for the retreat. So thankful to be around women that totally get it.
Love you all

Feeling your heart dearest Rhonda, and the wondering is always present isn't it? There is not better place to BE than with your sisters of the heart on a tender day. The Park City retreat began on Douglas' angel day and I'll never forget how it felt to BE held in such a sacred circle of LOVE.
Please know that I'll be thinking of you on Josh's birthday and give big (((hugs))) to one another for those of us who will not be attending.
Heart (((hugs))) to our peace loving Josh and his mama and dad.
Love you,
XO Joanie
Whew...I thought I had it rough!!! Well, I do, this time of year, but thank God no birthdate or angelversary date. I don't know what to say, and I know there is nothing I can say. I am grateful that you have the retreat and that your husband will be accompanying you. I wish I could have known your beautiful boy. I can't wait for the time when I meet him.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!!! Why, Why, Why,. What would , What if, etc..... questions we all ask but never get answered! Enjoy Branson, nothing like spending time with the people you love who really get IT!!!! Hugs,Ann
The what if's will get us every time. So very difficult. Enjoy Branson, sad I cannot make it this year. Tight ((hugs)) and much love. Sue
Being with our sisters is a comfort and hoping the birthday boy will send some signs of love to you Rhonda. It truly does not get any easier with time but continuing to honor Josh the way you do is an inspiration to all of us. Peace, Kathy
Love you dear friend!!!!
Love to JOSH!!!
I'm holding your hand from LA - Josh is on my mind - I'm sad I won't see you at the retreat, but give JOHN a big kiss for me!! Think of us, please! I love you!
Love to you and Josh. Be prepared for a huge hug in Branson.
