an an angel.How can such a tragedy being so many joys into one’s mind; one’s life? And not just one life, but many lives. Family, that is the key to life. Life is the key to family. But this time, it was death that was the key to my content, forgiveness, and happiness. Never will I forget August 22nd, 2001, the day you died, yet the day I was reborn.Along with your body, you left many people a very important message, the keys to life, and the keys to entering heaven. Of all toys to choose from, you chose a flag, and not just any flag, the United States of America flag. And boy did you love to march and wave that flag with such pride. You showed my content; gratefulness and thankfulness for everything you had. You would come up to anyone and forgive him or her for anything they’ve done to you or anyone else. Lastly, you were just plain happy. You brought joy into anybody’s life whenever you were present. Never will I forget your message; to be peaceful, and the first to enter God’s kingdom. And never will I forget my last words as I bent over your tiny casket and pressed my lips against your cold, lifeless forehead. I whispered into your ear, knowing you can hear me, with tears in my eyes and a crackly in my voice I said, “Thank you, Joshua, thank you.”Losing the body, soul, and life of a child you created, lost; gone, can only be healed through time, until the day you die and these feelings can be shared once again for yet another who lives on and can continue this soliloquy....
