Happy new year kiddo. I miss you so very much. Christmas was as good as it could be but man was it lonely without you. The girls are getting so big. I'm still so sorry Lina didn't get to enjoy you for more. She loves you so much. Your icon is still top on her list on FB messenger. It's awkward when we go over who she can call. I hope you're happy and free wherever you are. I wish I knew where that was. I miss you and think about you every second of every minute of everyday. I love you always. Happy new year. ❤️

I can't believe it's been a month now. We just had Thanksgiving without you. It was weird knowing you were gone. Truth is I haven't fully accepted it yet. It's the only way I can get out of bed. I feel tremendous guilt that I didn't have you here with me where you belonged but at the same time If I had your everyday life here in front of me I don't think I could do it. The girls are doing ok. Alina is as crazy as always. She loves talking about you. She's so disappointed you'll never talk face to face again. Angelia is still sad. Her friends have been real jerks. If I told you who you'd just roll your eyes say I told you so and probably be happy. We had Thanksgiving at Janelle's. It was nice as always the kids had fun. I didn't have an appetite. I haven't had one lately. I just can't get out of this funk. It takes everything in me just to get up in the morning. I don't want to see anyone or talk to anyone. My phone rings or vibrates and I wanna throw it. Not because of the people idk I just don't have it in me anymore. I feel sad and tired all the time. Even when I'm happy there is a small pit in my chest. I just don't see a happy future anymore. Thank God for the kids. They are literally the only thing that keeps me grounded. Before you left us I was kind of excited. For the first time I was growing my credit, had a good job, my own car, I was excited for the progress I was making. I figured you would turn around at some point and we would be unstoppable. I thought if we could both work full time at the same time we'd be incredible. I'm still in total shock. It's over, that's it, you're gone forever. I'm never going to see you, talk to you, argue with you, no more holidays, vacations to block island, tree lightings, trampoline parks, nothing. It's over. Forever. And that doesn't register. I'm alone forever. I will never ever in my entire life have with anyone that I had with you. It's literally impossible. We grew up together. And now you're gone and I feel so strange. Like I'm not in reality. I keep feeling like I'm going to wake up and it'll all be back to normal and that's not true. And everyone else is just carrying on like it's normal and it makes me so angry. You know as kids all those people gave me such a hard time when it came to you and not one of them could help me support you at the end. That was so hard joey. Idk. I'm so sorry I couldn't save you. I'm so sorry if I'm part of what drove you to it. That's not what I ever wanted for you. No matter what you didn't deserve that. I hope you know that. You deserve nothing but kindness and love and I'm so sorry I let life overwhelm me to the point I wasn't there for you. I hope there is something more than just here on earth. And if there is I hope you'll be there and wait for me. It's the only tiny thing that I have to hold on to. I don't feel you like people say they do. I don't see signs. Or if I do I must be ignoring them. Probably because I'm in such denial. But I love you Joey. I really do. And I miss you like hell. I thought I had all the time in the world. That was my biggest mistake I'll never live down. I'm so sorry papa. I love you. Joey if you're out there, help me through this for the girls. Talk to you soon.

Oh honey. I miss you so much. It hurts more and more everyday. I really thought you were going to get better. I wasn't in a rush. I thought I had the rest of my life with you. I figured I could build a foundation and give you time to get on your feet. Had I known I wouldn't have wasted one second away from you. I'm so mad at you for leaving me. I know you were scared but why be so stubborn. I picked up your ashes and I just can't understand that after 17 years of having you in my life this is what's left of us. Because that's what it is. Us. A piece of me died that died with you. And I truly think if you had any idea what this would do to me you wouldn't have left me. Somehow someway you would still be here. Some days I wish I never met you. Just to get rid of this god awful pain I'll carry with me now. For the rest of my life. Everyone says I'm so lucky to have a piece of you in the girls. And although they are literally the only reason I'm still standing on two feet. It wasn't supposed to be this way. I didn't want to take care of them for you, I wanted to do it with you. And I can't help but want to scream everytime I see another family smile or a couple pass by holding hands. All I can think about is how small your hands got and how we used to hold hands in the car even after an argument or how you held me every night. I see you everywhere and think of you every second. I took for granted that you were always there for me. And now your gone forever and I'm left here broken. Oh Joey how did this happen. I hope with everything in me there really is a heaven and you're there happy and strong and waiting for me. Please help me wherever you are. It hurts so bad. I love you so much. Don't forget about me.

Good morning kiddo. I miss you more today than I did everyday before. I picked you up yesterday. It was hard. I don't understand how someone so full of smiles and ridiculous stories and love and anger and fear and all the things that makes you, you can fit into that little box. I got your death certificate. A gi bleed. That's what did it. I'm so angry with you today. Why couldn't you just get the damn colonoscopy. You would still be here if they could find where it came from. But you're so had damn stubborn. I'm so angry with you for leaving me. I'm so angry with you for leaving the girls. But I know you were just scared. But I look at this little box and I just want to scream and cry and shake you. But I guess that's part of this grief thing that I never thought I would have to deal with for decades to come. They gave me your cross from your casket and laminated a bunch of your prayer cards. They did a nice job. My mom covered it. She loved you, sometimes more than me. I used to get so mad but now it makes me so happy. I'm so happy that my family was able to love you and you them. Aside from mom, gus, Arlene and lorri and Dooney trying to come I didn't see anyone else which was sad. But that's ok kiddo because you weren't just my husband to my family. You were a son, a stepson, a grandson, a nephew, and cousin and they all loved you so much. Peggy Richie's sister and Gina and mom bought beautiful flower arrangements for you. They are gorgeous. We let mommy pick one out. I spoke with her yesterday. She's just lost for words. We can't figure out why they couldn't just help you. I'm sorry I didn't fight harder. I just never thought this would happen. Monday was the worst day ever. I smelt your deodorant and cologne you used to wear. I can't remember what it was but I smelt it so strong. I lost it. I immediately just wanted to find you and snuggle on the couch and watch movie. Honestly out of everything we have ever done that's my favorite memory. Just snuggling and watching shows. Even that new years we stayed in with Angie as a baby and watched cars 2 so we missed the ball drop. But ugh you were perfect and warm and we were like a puzzle. Even dead in the night if I flipped you flipped and I always felt so safe. I'm sorry we lost that. I love you sweet boy. With everything that I am. So do your girls. Just know I love you please understand that I never meant for you to feel so sad. I just wanted you to get better. I guess you are in a sense. I just wish it was with me. I'll talk to you soon. I love you so so so much.

Hey sweet boy. Oh I miss you so much it hurts. I look for you all day trying to talk to you and i can't find you. I just can't grasp the fact that you won't be here anymore. No more birthdays or Christmas's or Easters. Who's going to put the worms on the hook when we go fishing or carry Alina on their shoulders for walks or bring Angelia for late night talks. Who's going to chase Alina around with her nigh nights being superman or teach Angelia to drive in the yard. I don't understand why this happened or how. I have never lived a life without you and it doesn't feel like I can right now. It just hurts so so so bad. But I'm trying like hell papabear. I really am but man it hurts. I miss you terribly. The world feels like it's going in slow motion. I'm on the highway getting beeped at and realize I'm doing 30 and doze off and realize it's been an hour. I want you to know I was always waiting for you to get better. I really thought you would. Had I known I would have never left your side for one second. I'll always wait for you honey. Thanks for being the best love a girl could ever ask for. Thank you for making me feel safe and loved and special and beautiful every second of every minute I spent with you. I'll be counting down the seconds until I see you again. I miss your snuggles and watching my terrible shows on the couch. I want to go back so bad. Wait for me and I'll wait for you. I love you babe. I really do and I won't let the world forget about you. Tonight I held Angelia and we just cried and cried. I feel terrible because usually I have answers but I have no words right now because I hurt so badly myself. Alina found the bracelets you bought her from Walmart last time you went out together. We went to the mall to cheer Angelia up and passed the aquarium which just reminded the girls of their time spent with you there. Oh honey wherever you are please help me through this. I hurt for you so badly. I hope wherever you are you are so happy and loved and everyone sees what a funny silly incredibly loving man you are without all the hurt struggle and pressure you've gone through. I don't know why this happened to you but I'll tell you I will love you until my last dying breath myself. Don't forget about me babe. I love you always and forever. Oh honey

Oh my sweet Joey. I miss you so dearly. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to do this without you. I thought we had more time. I'll talk to you everyday. I hope you hear me somehow. I hate everything about this. I love you with everything in me. Thank you for our sweet girls and the life we built together. Please be happy wherever you are. I can't fathom life without you, I'll try my best. I love you papabear.
