The past few weeks have been busy and tis the season for head colds as the weather continues to change but one thing never changes and that is how much I miss my precious grandson Joey.
I want so badly to stop the clocks, the angel-versary approaches. I think one of the hardest parts for all of us is that we are still waiting for trial and that looms over every thought of Joey - because Justice has not been served -- yet.
On March 12, 2013 Joey was flown to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center where he was later that day transferred to Saint Luke's Medical Center. On the morning on March 13, 2013 the doctor's completed the final "brain death test" and pronounced Joseph Wayne Graham III dead due to abusive head injury.
I sat here for several minutes just staring at the screen after typing that last sentence. It still numbs me.
I spent a lot of time this evening looking through pictures of Joey. His mommy took so many and for that we are all so very thankful, because those and 22 months worth of memories are all we have left.
We held a Celebration of Life for Joey shortly after his passing and the family members each released a blue balloon for Joey that day. On March 12, 2014 I'll be lighting a candle and placing it in the window for Joey and on March 13, 2014 I'll let go a blue balloon for him.
I don't know what the future will bring, I don't even know what tomorrow will bring. I used to look forward to things that were to come days, weeks or months down the road. Now it's one day, one step, one breath at a time.
Hug your children, play with them, cherish them and take lots of pictures.
Grandma Kathy
