Today, this special..... torn between the joy of his life and the grief of your passing. I always think of you, my brother, my lost little one. Who would you have been today at 20 years old? Would you be in college, or folowing in the footsteps of our brother? So many chances you never had, so many memories we never got to make. And though I never knew you, your life cut so terribly short I'll always love you and know you are waiting for me looking down on me from heaven. And on this day....two years ago you sent me a gift, a godson, my Z-man. And everytime I see him I know your in there somewhere smiling a me. I cannot forget, he has a full head of red hair just like you...sometimes I wonder if you did that on purpose. Is that your way of letting me know your are always here, my guardian angel?
Love Always, Your Sister
Joseph Charles Bateson August 5,1986
