Eight weeks ago today was when you were taken from us. We went through the motions today the first holiday without you! We all miss you so much! Last year you were in bootcamp so you didn't get to have turkey. I looked forward to you being here with us this year. I am not looking forward to Christmas or your birthday. I can now understand what it's like to loose someone that means so much to you. It is so difficult to see sister hurting so much. I wish there is something I can say to make all her pain go away. A magic wand that just makes all your wishes come true. I go to church every Sunday and it is helping a bit. But the question always comes to mind again. Why? Why was he taken so young? Why did someone take him? Why is he no longer here? Why did he have to leave us in such a tragic way? Why does sister have to suffer his loss? Why? Why?why? Our lives will never be the same.

Seven weeks ago today I was woken up with the worst call in my life. Our life's have been turned upside down. We miss you so much Sonny! Until we see each other again. Love you Mijo!!

Here is Sonny with his nino and cousins Mikey and Andy.

It has been a tough few weeks and it seems to be getting harder. I never thought our family would have to go through such a tragedy. I feel so bad for my sister and to see her in so much pain. I wish that we could see Sonny again. I wish I could hold him agin. I wish I could hear him call me nina again. I remeber the last time he was here at my house. Two days before he was so violently taken away from us. He was so excited to see that me and his nino where bar-b-que'in. We made hamburgers and bacon wrapped hot dogs for the Cowboys game. I am glad we were able to get closer to him in the last couple months. Not that it made it any easier that we almost lost him during a accident where he was ejected from the van. I do miss you Sonny!!! I loved you like my own son. I thought of you like that. You will always be in my memory as an angel! Here
