Love Joseph
I remember losing you like it was yesterday. The way my whole world stood still when I got that phone call from tatie Glady’s and I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t feel. My whole body was numb. My heart was numb. I couldn’t grasp it. It took me about three days to really feel that you were gone. Once I realized I wouldn’t get those calls from you and hear your voice calling me anymore, I lost it.
The good memories outweigh the bad. The positive outweighs the negative. Where I lost hope, I gained it back again. You see, it was far from easy. It was an everyday challenge, it still is. I would stay in bed for hours each day and not have the motivation to move, but somehow you got me to pick myself up and go on. I didn’t know how to handle the death of a loved one. I believe in God and I believe in heaven. I believe in forgiveness and I believe you gave me the strength I needed to push through.
I write to you not only as your niece but also as one of the many people who has missed you for this last 3 weeks. Here’s to you. For not being seen or heard, but being present and listening. I want you to continue watching over all of us. I’m lucky to have had you for those years. You will always have a piece of my heart that I’ll never get back. I love you now and always.
Love
