I can’t express the depth and extent of my gratitude for everyone that reached out, showed up, or just took a moment of your day to think of John. You have no idea how much it helps. 💕

5 years. 1,826 days. 43,800 hours. I would give back all of that time to spend more time with you. 5 freaking years. How?! Why?! None of my questions ever answered. None of my confusion ever clarified. Every single day I still ask why. Why my John?!!! It is said that when a child dies a mother dies too. Not in the same sense of being completely gone. But the person I was I am no longer. How can I be?? A piece of me is gone. A piece of my heart broken. I am still here, but not the same. We all miss you so much John. Our lives are now made up of before and afters. Holidays are not the same without you. We miss your laugh. We miss your smile. We miss you. And all that made you be you. I am doing okay. We all are. We didn’t have a choice. We had to figure out how to navigate this new life we were given. Don’t get me wrong, there are still many days that the pain of you being gone rips through my chest..days that I struggle to breathe…days that I just can’t get it together. I know it happens because it’s my love for you trying to figure out where to go and what to do. Some days I watch and listen to videos of you over and over. I listen to your amazing laugh…I listen until I can’t see through my tears…but I listen all the same. Over and over. I will never be the same again without you my John. I lose my breath every time I think about you taking your last one. They say time heals all wounds…they lied. I will forever be incomplete with you John. I am forever your mother, you are forever my John.

I would go back in time in a heartbeat. Wouldn’t have a second thought about it.
20 years ago…simpler times…happy times.
Watching all my kids grow and being happy before so much trauma occurred.
Like I said…in a heartbeat. When John was still with us. When we were complete.
