Two years ago today….
Posted by April on July 24th, 2011 filed in Familymy world fell apart… and I can’t say I have succeeded in putting it back together. Not a day goes by that I don’t wish I could chat with Joel, see him, hear his laugh, talk about the kids, discuss the most recent games, share thoughts on world news, just be with him…. I still drive around town and look at the side of any white pick-up truck — wishing the Home Zone logo would be there… it is difficult to describe the void that exists in my heart… no one can truly understand the experiences that Joel and I shared all those years…. the silly inside jokes that we had, which are triggered by a certain song, a phrase, a simple gesture…. i think of all the great times that our kids will never have with him…. none of it makes any sense to me….

Hi April,
Stan and I admire you–you have “survived” an impossibly difficult time with courage and grace. We are thinking of you and Rachel and Daphne and Vincent.

I watched A Walk to Remember the other night and cried when I heard “Love is like the wind, you can’t see it, but you can feel it”. Joel’s love is yours forever.
Thinking of you…

Hi April, Rachel, Daphne and Vincent ,
I can’t pretend to know the pain that each of you experience every day. I like seeing you and spending time with you all because ( besides liking each of you)it’s the next best thing to seeing Joel. I see him in all of you. Continuing to think of you and still miss him, too. Paula
