of Josh for his 19th birthday on October 28.

No day of celebration held.
Our thoughts are turned to other days.
Today you would have been nineteen.
We miss you Josh so many ways
No grin will tell us of your joy
At gifts, or cake or revelry.
No family gathering to hail
Another year with jubilee.
We spend this day with memories
Of all the birthdays you were here,
With gratitude for times we shared,
As now we share this birthday tear.

Love,
Dad, Kathy, Steph, Tom, Brett and Alissa

What a beautiful poem for a special young man!
Are you planning anything special to honour Josh on his birthday? I know that lots of people do balloon releases, and some people write messages in our on the balloons.
Sending gentle hugs,
