It’s hard to believe that you would have been 38 today… Would you be married? Would you have your t-shirt business that you wanted? Would you have children? The only thing I know for certain is that you would still love Meghan and me as much as we love you… I miss your laughter and your hugs

I am not a good writer especially about my feelings. I found this song and it sums up my feelings so well. On this 9th anniversary of you leaving us, I still miss you everyday, every minute... RIP Jonathan....

"I Believe"

Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you, come back again
And it's like, you haven't been

Gone a moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time
Were pulling you, and me

And with all my heart, I'm sure
We're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see
I've got all the proof I need

There are more than angels watching
Over me.. I believe.. ohh, I believe.

Now when you die, your life goes on
It doesn't end here, when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light
It never ends, if I'm right

Our love can even reach, across-
Eternity.. I believe.. ohh, I believe.

Forever, you're a part of me
Forever, in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer
If I can..

Oh, the ppl who don't see the most
See that I, believe in ghosts
If that makes me crazy, then I am
Cuz I believe.. ohh, I believe..

There are more than angels watching
Over me.. I believe.. ohh, I believe.

Every now and then
Soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you, come back again..
And I believe.

Some of my favorite memories are the most simple ones. Like I remember when Jon had that trampoline in the backyard on Kaymar. He could jump higher than I've ever seen anyone jump. And he could get you to bounce to the moon. I remember how we would walk Rebel around the neighborhood. Jon loved that dog so much. It was so sweet to see their bond. Pure love ❤️

We think of you often, dear Jonathan. On our recent trip to PA, I laughed when remembering all the times you got lost on a road trip and how you could have used Siri! She came in handy this time for us.
Love to see your smiling face in my memory; still pray for you daily.

I went to SUNY Purchase with Jonathan. One of my favorite memories of him was at Fall Ball. He was the outgoing 'diva' and therefore the host of the event, and I was running it as head of the LGBT club. He showed me the ropes and worked tirelessly to pull the event off successfully, which never would have happened without him. I had no idea what I was doing and he was always really supportive and helpful. When the event finally rolled around I was pretty stressed out. Jonathan encouraged me to relax and enjoy all the hard work we had put into the event. He even invited me to hang out with his friends afterwards. I had a great night and ended up putting on the event the next year too thanks to his mentorship. I went on to work on the a number of other large events after college thanks to that experience. I will always remember how he helped me just out of the goodness of his heart and his wonderful spirit. The world needs more people like him.

"Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad. " Christina Rosettii

Five years ago tonite at 11:30 p.m. Meg and I lost you. We didn't want to let you go but the doctors had done everything they could. There isn't a moment of each day that I don't think about you or miss you but I am remembering the good days and the fun memories now more than the grief. You made my life so much more than it would have been without you... I treasure every day with your sister now more than ever. I thank God each night for giving you to me and wonder why he took you away so soon. I LOVE AND MISS YOU!!!!

Today was the day, five years ago, they told me you wouldn't make it through the night... then they told me they could try putting you on an ECMO machine, it by-passes the lungs and let's them heal...they gave you a 30% chance of making it... so started my 9 days of hell... the doctors did their best but you couldn't beat the odds...you are loved and missed everyday...I have learned how to live with the pain but it gets the best of me some nites when everyone is asleep and I just cry...I miss you and love you Jonathan...

Oh, I am so glad you put this together. I have so many stories that I want to share. My favorite times were when we would drive to work together and chain smoke on the way. I cherish those times now. Still think about him all the time. I know he's ok and a guardian angel to all of us now. He was so gentle and full of love and hope. Can't wait for the day I see him again.

I remember when he bought that sleeveless tiger shirt at the Eaton Centre in Toronto the summer before he went away to NYC. 
What a summer...we made the most of it.  Kristy, Carly & I trying to soak up as much of him as we could before he left.  Darien Lake, Janet Jackson, fireworks, movies... That was right before 9/11.
22 years ago :-O

Best new years ever

February 16, 2016

I miss that smile....and Kristy is super cute too....wish you were here... It was the best year u gave me with my birthday in new York with you and your sister...I know you are watching over all of us....you will be forever missed

Poem I found online by David Romano

May 13, 2013

When tomorrow starts without me,
       and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
       all 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 and understand,
That an angel 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.
But as I turned to walk away,  
      a tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I'd always thought   
     I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for   
     and so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible
       that I am leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
       the good ones and the bad,
I thougth of all the love we shared   
     and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,   
     I thought, just for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you  
      and maybe see your smile.
But then I fully realized
       that this could never be.
For emptiness and memories    
    would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things  
      that I'd miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,   
     my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,  
      I felt so much at home.
When God look down and smiled at me,   
     from His great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity       
and all I've promised you,
Today your life on earth is past,  
      but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,  
      but today will always last,
And since each day's the same day,  
      there's no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful,   
     so trusting and so true,
Though there were times you did some things  
      you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven,  
      and now at last your free.
So won't you take my hand    
    and share my life with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,     
   don't think we're far apart,
For everytime you think of me,    
    I'm right here in your heart.
