Memories of Justin

Uploaded: February 16, 2009

Description

Putting on today for my son Justin. Today would have been his 28th birthday. He was killed in a car wreck on April 29 2000. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him and wish I could be with him. Put together in Photo Explosion Deluxe. Seems just like yesterday he was such a little boy. I cherish all of his photos and look at them often. Photos taken with different cameras. Happy Birthday Justin. I love you and miss you so much.

Oh, Kay - this breaks my heart, but what a beautiful and touching tribute! I have learned throughout the years that the beloved ones we've lost really ARE with us, every day - for the rest of our lives. And beyond, I truly think. Thank you for sharing this.

Marta J. Baldwin March 22, 2009

This is just wonderful Kay!!! I love the way the pictures show Justin growing up. He was such a beautiful boy and young man. It's hard to believe how fast time seems to pass. On March 13th it was 2 years since my son Cole passed away. March 31st would have been his 15th birthday. I just know that Justin and Cole continue to keep us in their hearts! Marta #7316358

Kay E. Mahoney level-classic March 23, 2009

Thank you Janice, Ellen, Gord and Marta for all of you wonderful comments. Marta, I think of you often. I know how hard it is for you because I've been there also. Not a day goes by that I don't think of Justin. The days just keep passing us by but we'll always have our memories of them. I think about what Justin would be doing if he were still around. He brought so much joy to our family. Even though it'll be 9 yrs in April that he passed away sometimes it seems just like yesterday. I know you like me are so glad you have all the photos of Cole like I do of Justin. Have a wonderful day, Marta. My prayers are with you and your family. #7317567

It breaks my heart to hear about your loss of your son, Kay. I feel so sorry for you, and can't imagine how that would be. I'm in the middle of the big birthday month for my three kids, and your message is a wonderful lesson for all the rest of us, to love the ones we have around us. Thank you for sharing! Bless you! #7318138
