hello my lovebug...sure do miss you.athena is having baby jace today..your gonna be an uncle..yay...

Good Morning my handsome nephew :) You are on my mind today.. I wish I could hear your voice and hug you! The holidays arent the same. Robbie talks about you all the time and how you called him your assassin when you would have him sneak downstairs to get you snacks. I found an empty box of Cheese Its in his closet at Vinces a few months ago and he said they were yours lol.. Olivia and Ethan are getting so big and it breaks my heart that yall will never know each other. At least you got to bond with Ethan for a short while though and I know you are always with them in spirit and laughing with them. I will tell Olivia Avery all about you when I explain to her where her middle name came from. We love you Justin, soo much. I cant believe it has almost been 2 years. My life will never be the same but I know you and Skyla are forever together like you both wanted. I still listen to your CD regularly and am filled with memories of you. Going all the way back to you at just a few weeks old when I first met you sleeping in your crib peacefully, to you being a 9 month old baby in your walker and I pretended like you were my baby. Feeding you your jars of baby food and changing your diapers. I carried you on my hip everywhere with me. You were a beautiful baby boy. Then the silly toddler who really thought he was spiderman. The little dance you did with one hand in the air "snapping" your fingers and turing in a circle. Then your little boy days of running around outside riding your bike and spending summer days at the pool. Your pre-teen days being obsessed with Xbox and then your early teen years transitioning from a boy to a man with that little barely there mustache lol... Just wish a few things could have been done different so we could still have you both here with us to watch you grow in life. The questions of what would you have done with your life, what would you have named your babies? will always be there. I'll never stop loving and missing you, I carry you in my heart every day. I love you Justin Avery! 
Love forever,
Your Aunt Alena (Aunt Awena) 

You came to me in a dream last night Justin..
We were holding hands and jumping into the deepend of the pool at the apartments. And we were all picking on Linda because she still couldn't swim without floaties.
It occurred to me that now Im pregnant and you won't be able to see the pictures of my babies, or ever even have the chance to see them.
You know how much my heart aches to know your gone?
Remember when I lost my tooth and that Jeremy kid told me the bad tooth fairy was going to kill me so me, you athena and my sister stayed up all night building booby traps to keep her away, and i still stayed up all night.. Everytime i get into the swimming pool i think of the person who taught me how to swim, and you know very well who that was.. Everytime you pass my mind i tell myself its you telling me that you know that even though we lost touch we were always family.. and i promise you we will always be.. you and skyla will now be together forever in the best place, God will be there too and yall will have eternal happiness, heaven is supposed to be always happiness... I know that as you grew alot of things happened in your life that werent so fun and happy but i can promise you heaven will make up for all the problems you had here. You are such a special little boy you had so much life and always lived on the edge. We used to break into apartment buildings just so we can call something our own, to get away from our parents, to just be fun. God picked your flower, because he saw that you were going through alot of unneccesary hurt, and he wanted to take that away. I love you Justin, and I will definitely be expectiing a hug when i walk through those Golden Gates, You Will Always Be In My Heart!! Ever since The Deepend Of That Swimming Pool.!!:) Ill See You Later Justin :)

You showed him different, you made him realize'   You made her happy by pretending y'all were running, through a jungle...   Both feeling loved is what y'all both always wanted and dreamed of,   things will never be known, things will never be told   but the lesson is learned..   even through death was caused, your appearance is here.   I hear your laughter from one ear to another''   guess your giving me hints that your not upset like you once we're... Im so glad I'm not seeing you cry like before,   that confusion and pain that "love" brings is no joke..   At times when I'm hurting, I sit alone and just feel you near' telling me cuz don't give up...   I look at your pictures and tell you I'm weak,   but when I cry myself to sleep you visit me in my dreams.   Just to let me know I'm not alone and not to be selfish and not to think negative...   "I wanted to explore" you once said, you also said "you loved him" and I believed you both times.   You were young with the BIGGEST HEART!   I understood because I was going through the same route..   But who would've thought you'll slip far away from home?   But baby I know you are not suffering no more. And I cry because we've lost you' but I can't do that anymore...   I'll imagine your shoes in my feet, and I wouldn't want you to think you've lost me.   I gained a beautiful Angel and that's all that is to it.   YOU GIVE ME HOPE.   I'm so thankful you were apart of my life and I'm so blessed that you were more than just around. . Not many people knew, but we had so many secrets, that we shared and I will always, always cherish every conversation' memory' and the greatest gift you left us, your beautiful photographs of yourself.   Always and forever we will LOVE AND MISS YOU' ‪#‎Cielo‬ -JoanaJaqueline — feeling blue.

happy birthday justin

alena just saw this carved in the railing on my front porch...how bittersweet this is....may 18 2013

how bittersweet these words are.

My eyes filled with tears as i heard the news
it never occured to me how much I could lose.
I find myself wishing that it wasn"t real
everytime i think about it pain is all I feel.
Tears fall from my eyes,I can barely see
but my heart tells me you will always be with me.
I'm glad you feel no pain now,you are in a perfect land
and my hopes are ya'll are hand in hand.
I lie in bed and cry at night waiting on the morning light.
I will love and miss you forever until the day we can be together,
together in that perfect place above,filled with caring,sharing and love.
But until that day comes I will wipe my tears away
and hope to see you again someday.
                                       I miss you so much
                                       you will always be my angels
                                                                                 sherry 

as we all try to accept that they had to go
there are a few things we want you to know.
please take care of justin and skyla and hold them tight
keep your arms around them with all of your might.
not a day goes by that we do not cry
we never had a chance for a proper goodbye.
we want you to know they are loving children and ohhh so cool
and we know they would love it if you had a pool.
they love pizza.skating and hanging with friends
and as you get to know them they will give you many grins.
so sit back,relax and watch them grow
and please let them know that we miss them so! 
                                  all my love to you justin and skyla,
                                                                                         sherry 

            I have written this poem on behalf of family and friends
            thats miss you dearly.there are many poems on "letters
            from heaven".thought we could use one  on " a letter to heaven" 

A piece of me went with you the day God called you home.I cherish all the talks we had of seeing you all grown.
He took you way too soon for you had a full life to lead.and in this empty heart of mine is a place I need to feed.
My friends are all so worried,they want the old me back.but they just don't understand.that part of me I lack.
I ask God everyday why he took you away.you were such a part of my each and every day.
I need to try and understand this pain inside i feel.for life without you seems so unreal.
I do not understand this GOD they say we have.but I will try with all my heart on yours and skyla's behalf.
So now I will try and rest this lonely heart of mine and pray to GOD that one day it will all be fine.
               you see,
                             A piece of me went with you
                             the day GOD called you home!
                                                                               thinking of you always justin.
                                                                                                                       sherry 

I drove to the hspital and ran every red light. I was holding your sister and we were sitting only a few feet away, when you came out of your mother. I was so excited cause you came in to this world on my birthday. And you were named Justin for just in time. Every may 25th I think of you and remember seeing you for the first time.

i know it was so long ago but one of my first memories of you, of you coming into this world after 20years later i can still remember it like it was yesterday,mom and i was watching jaws lol and she was telling me to go get dad , i was 5years old. i witnessed you making your way into the world for the most part!!

i remember dad making tunnels out of boxes in the front yard, that was something that we thought was the coolest thing ever(before chucky cheese came out with the tunnels) i think !lol idk from what i remember (:

i remember our hard times we both have had to go though growing up and witness!!

having dinner at the table days!!

helping you with your homework days

having to beat a dumb boy up for you at the pool  lol !!

climbing trees,pool days, catching animals, and playing at the park and football days !!

beach days , jumping off the bridge days !!

wanting to go everywhere i was days !!

messing up your hair days !!

getting ready for school days \ first and last days of school

annoying me to where i had to lock you out the house days !!

laughing so hard making strawberry milk come out of your nose , something you stil brought up years after cause it was so funny !! 

mom making us rub her feet days !! lmao

forts and palots to play video games or movies night days!!

trampoline battle days !!

chilling on the roof days !!

taking care of our animal days !!

but must of all:
new years, valentines days, st. patrick days, easter days, birthdays, 4th of julys, halloweens, thanksgivings,and christmas's .

but the best days of my life was,  our conversations and hearing your voice days ❤        Something i can never get back , but im going to try and stay strong for you and know you're right here to guide me through the right path in life .
i ❤you Justin more then you will ever know, i tried my best for you, to here me out and what some consequences could lead to but you wanted to do your own thing but so does everyone at your age( thinks they know everthing) ! and this is what the outcome has come to ! its going to take many years or a lifetime to except this tragedy ! but ill cherish our memories and try to pretend like this never happened because for now thats the only way i can get by ...
