We will always remember you

Today has been a hard day for all of our family. I wrote about Jose in this post last year. His boys are getting so big and look just like him. My nephew Tony will be a senior this year and he would have been so proud.

It does not get easier and I know the pain will always linger this time of year. He was too young to leave us, with so much left to do. We will all be together someday, until then he will always be in our hearts...

My neophew had this on his Myspace and it just broke my heart to read...


When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not here to see... If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today... While thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you... And each time you think of me, I know you'll miss me, too. But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand... That Jesus came and called my name and took me by the hand, And said my place was ready in heaven far above... And that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love. So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart... For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.

This is what my sister wrote:

Family Chain

We little knew that morning, God was going to call your name, In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone. For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again.
