A lump in my throat gets bigger as your birthday approaches. This is the second Birthday you will miss. I can still clearly remember how we celebrated you on your special day. Time is not waiting for anyone, as it zips by at an alarming rate. Oh how I wish I could rewind time, so I could just celebrate you one more time. But we celebrate you every day with the beautiful memories you left us with.
You always wondered if your presence mattered. Yes it did, and not only to us, but to an entire community that you had made your new home. You often talked about going home, but you were home. You just didn’t realize it. All those tears you wasted on people who did not care about whether you existed or not, will not go in vain.
My heart still aches everyday for you. Not being able to hear your voice, not being able to drive down to see you, is something I have adjusted to. I am extremely thankful that I spent over 40years of my life being a part of your life. I know life does go on, but that lump in my throat does not go away. Time does not heal, it only makes us adjust, and go on with our lives. We will meet again, and I know you will be waiting to greet us. I hope that wherever you are, you are happy and pain free. You are loved, and missed tremendously by your loved ones.
Happy Birthday my Joon Joon-I love you.
