Hope you're ok...

Love,

Merry Christmas Jon,

I wrote the same top Lauren...

Seems like unlikely words to be wishing you a wonderful time...but somehow even if you're not physically here you are here!

So:

I woke up and walked a million miles today
I've been looking up and down for you
All this time, it still feels just like yesterday
That I walked a million miles with you

Over it
Think I'm getting over it
However, there's no getting over it

There are times when I need someone
There are times I feel like no one
Sometimes I just don't know what to do
There are days I can't remember
Some days last forever
Someday I'll come out from under you
However, I'll never come out from under you

They don’t call it the most wonderful time of the year for nothing. Yes, it will always be bittersweet after your death. And unquestionably the suffering in the world in this moment is something we can’t forget. But death and love, incredibly, live side by side, each with the ability to deepen the other. ❤️

Dad

P.S. Feels like rain...

Happy 29th birthday Jon,

Sunny days seem to hurt the most, I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope, I know I'll see you again someday...

Just a little note that sometimes I wonder who you'd be today...


Love you,

Dad

Happy Thanksgiving Jon!

I sure wish I could see you today, but you and Lauren live in my heart constantly, and of course, I am at your Gigi's house, Wanda, Tony, and all the gang are here, just wanted you to know that I love you, and the memories of our time flood my mind. I remember the time you walked thru the front plate glass window and have to have 13 stitches in your head, you never cried, what a Champion you are to me, much love son!

Always in my ❤,

Dad

There's a whole other conversation going on
In a parallel universe
Where nothing breaks and nothing hurts
There's a waltz playing frozen in time
Blades of grass on tiny bare feet
I look at you and you're looking at me

Could you beam me up,
Give me a minute, I don't know what I'd say in it
Probably just stare, happy just to be there holding your face
Beam me up,
Let me be lighter, I'm tired of being a fighter, I think,
A minute's enough,
Just beam me up.

Clouds rolling by, way up high
Sometimes I wonder If you're up there
In the clouds

When it rains, and the skies are gray
Is that you crying?
Up there somewhere in the clouds

How I hate.... sunny days, nothing but empty blue skies
So I pray, oh how I pray
For clouds

Taking shape I swear sometimes
I can almost see your face, somewhere up there
In the clouds

Sometimes...on a plane
I feel like I'm with you
Just hanging out

Somewhere, up there
In the clouds, rollin by
Way up high...where the angels fly

Yes, I miss you down here
But I'll see you up there

In the clouds...


Not a day goes by...

Happy Birthday Jon!

I love you.....A little something for you...

I'm getting older
Finding myself and God getting a little bit closer
And sober
I'm a little less reckless, little less wild card
Breaking hearts kinda senseless
Yeah, I'm coming around

I might cuss and fight, tell a few lies
Break a few rules, making promises I can't keep
But I've turned the page on wilder days
I'm running all this down hoping you'll see
I ain't saying I'm perfect, but I'm working on a better me

I say I'm sorry
Sometimes it's the hardest part to tell somebody
But I'm sorry
I've been praying
Coming from me that might sound a little bit crazy
But that's how I'm changing

I might cuss and fight, tell a few lies
Break a few rules, making promises I can't keep
But I've turned the page on wilder days
I'm running all this down hoping you'll see
I ain't saying I'm perfect, but I'm working on a better me

Didn't wanna call you up
Didn't wanna just stop
Wanted to take my time and make sure I got every word right

I still cuss and fight
Tell you lies
Break a few rules, making promises I can't keep
But I've turned the page on wilder days
I'm running all this down hoping you'll see
I ain't saying I'm perfect, but I'm working on a better me

On a better me

It's been a year and a lot has happened, but I guess you already know all of that...I miss you and think of you everyday...I thought I saw you a while back with a guy I work with, it was just the right time of day, a cool afternoon, the sun was setting and he stood and turned his head just right,,,,I knew it wasn't you, but it gave me hope of you..

so, just a few lyrics from a song that I thought you'd enjoy and like to know...

I could jump on some ol' highway
Run a thousand miles or more
Unlock some hidden mystery
Behind a distant door
I could sail the seven oceans
Til I crawl upon some long forgotten shore

But it's always gonna be you
Always gonna be you I'm lookin' for

I could climb a hundred mountains
Leave a hard ol' world behind
Wander right across some prairie
Like a man out of his mind
I could walk and stare into the sun
Let it all just burn me deaf and blind

But it's always gonna be you...
Always gonna be you I'm tryin' to find...

To the Friends and Family of Jon,

Please accept my deepest sympathy. It is so unnatural and painful to lose someone in death at such a young age. But be assured that Jehovah God yearns to reunite children with their parents by means of the resurrection. In the account at Mark 5:40-42, Jesus lovingly demonstrated what his Father will do for us in the future when he resurrected a 12-year old girl and returned her to her parents. "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life" (John 5:28,29)

Oh jon. You have no idea how much i miss you right now. I just keep thinking of all the good and fun times we had growing up. Your sweet smile. You always wanted to make everyone else happy just like I did. Never liked seeing people sad. The world lost a great guy! An amazing little brother and one of the best people anyone could've ever known. I can't stop thinking about you jon and I don't want too stop thinking about. I just want to think about you and not cry for once! Lol I know you know what I mean! I can think of you and see your smile and I still hear your laugh. And the faces you would always make. It's just so crazy. Never thought I would be here without you. Ever. Every time I leave out the front door I think of you, when I wake up I think about you, when I'm in the car, when I listen to music, when I'm watching Cora play, when I'm having s quiet moment. I think about you all the time. I never stop. Everywhere I go and everything I do I think of you. I think of how you are missing out on all of this also. Or how you will never hear a new song ever again or go to another concert. I try not to but I do. And I don't think it's all normal. I just miss you so much and I know I will never stop missing you. I love you with all of my heart and soul my little joneva Ann! I'm always here! We all love you and miss you and I know Cora would love to see you again. So don't forget to send us a sign down here k!

God I miss you so much jon. I have been just losing it yesterday and right now. I don't know. I just can't stop it these last couple of days. I want you here so bad. I'm just watching Cora play and it makes me cry bc I want to tell you about all the stuff she is doing now. She is growing up so fast and getting so big. I know you would be so happy if you were here with you. I needed you jon and I still do. I'm not saying that in a way like wth. I just always told you that I needed you and idk what I would do if anything ever happened to you. Today is really hard for some reason. I haven't felt like this since your funeral. I'm coming to see you. I'm sorry I couldn't make it on Christmas Day. I'm listening to White Iverson by Post Malone right now and it just makes me cry so much and think about you. All music does. I can't listen to music with out thinking of you. It was your passion and one of mine. We could always connect through music. And I know we still can. No matter what I always think of you when music is playing. No matter the kind. Ok though buddy. I'm gonna go now. I hope you can somehow see all of this or take it in somehow. We love you and I love you so much more than you ever knew jon jon and still do. I just hope and pray that one day the pain from this subsides at least some.

This made me totally lose it. Watching Cora crawl up to your picture board and put her hand on your face. She remembers you. She loves you. And she will know everything about you. All the good stuff and the funny stuff!!  She will always know what an amazing, kind, loving man you were!  I'm so happy there are pictures of the two of you together also. She knows you and when she crawling up to those pictures yesterday she kept looking at me and looking at you and then looking at me and then looking back at you. We love you and miss you so much jon jon. I couldn't even explain how much we miss you bc there are no words to describe it. Love you baby bro. My lil man. My joneva Ann!
