A letter to Justin February 2011
Dear Justin;I wanted to tell you honey how proud I am of you and the way you chose to lead your short lived life. Justin you never did anything which I feel the least bit of shame; what kind of momma would I be if I showed this emotion toward my child. What I know of you I am grateful and joyful; what I do not I need not know. Know one will ever know everything about everyone they know in their lifetime.
Justin you worked so hard and carried so more on your young shoulders. Although this never seemed to phase you; challenges are your penchants. You never let anyone know if you were down or unwell [including me]. I know this for a fact as I too have the same characteristic in my personality.
Thank you son for all the wonderful moments we shared, your unconditional love, your acceptance of my flaws, the care & respect you gave me, the laughter you shared, the talks about ideals, showing me the stars, making me humble, always knowing when something was wrong with me and bringing me more joy in my life than I have ever known or will ever know again.
I know you float among space and the stars in awe of the answers to questions the rest of us will know in time. I can not express in words what an honor to be your momma. I know I will see you again and oh what joy I will have on this day.
God rest your youthful soul and please watch over us until we meet again.
My beautiful love, my son. my constant, my friend; you accepted me and everyone exactly the way we are...thank you honey for not judging.
I love you with all my heart honey, momma.
