11months ago today Joey went to heaven. It was one year ago today Joey was with me to celebrate my birthday. I thought at the time it was hard but now I know this is the hardest birthday. I miss him so much. I see all that he misses out on. I feel now that every birthday is one year closer to being with him. Everyday that goes by is one day closer to seeing him. I know now that he won’t come around the corner or through the door. I do feel that he is close around. I take every sign as him saying I am still here with us. I just wish he was still here with us. It all feels like a dream. I take comfort in my conversations of him, in the stories others share of him, and of my own memories with him. Until we are all together again things will just never be the same. I love and miss you Joey.
