This was an idea that was sparked by the following email that I received from Joey's Grandma & Grandpa Boyer. Enjoy and feel free to leave your own birthday message for the little man!
(As for mom and dad, we'll be singing "Happy Birthday" all day in our heads and our hearts. We love you and miss you, son!)
In memory of Joseph Roy Elkins, born March 24th, 2008 at 12:42pm PST.
Joeys First Birthday Eve 2009
On the Eve of your birthday we want to wish you a Happy 1st Birthday Joey, Grandma B and I miss you very much. We know you are celebrating with the Angels. It must be a lot of fun flying around everywhere blowing Trumpets and singing to the Lord. One day we will see you again but for now we only have memories from pictures and the words from your Mom and Dad and Family that saw and held you.
I even have the Ultrasound your Mom sent to me. She called you “The Mexican Jumping Bean” because you were bouncing all over the place.
On Father’s Day last year Grandma B made a picture book for me and titled it “Happy Father’s Day Grandpa, Love Joey.”
Joey, many times I have touched your pictures with tears in my eyes saying, “It’s going to be all right.”
One day all will be able to see you grab your first birthday cake, squeezing it in tight fists, smashing it all over your smiling face. Then we’ll clean you up so you can open presents and Play hide and seek. All will hear you Giggle and Laugh.
This day will always be remembered as a Blessed Day Joey because of how you made your Mom and Dad so proud to be parents bringing Joy into their Life.
Love You Always,
Grandma and Grandpa B

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEY!!!!! Oh sweetie, grandpa and I miss you so very much. I think your mommy and daddy have a few surprises for you today. But I don't think their surprise comes close to the surprise you gave them a year ago. You will always be remembered as the strongest little boy we know. We're so proud of you! By the way, can you let up a little on the remote? Grandpa laughs every time you change the channel...he says "hey boy! glad you are visiting us". Enjoy your day and remember how much you are loved.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOEY!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy first nephew, I miss you and Hannah does too. I know you are always with her, she sometimes just looks up and laughs and I know you are there sitting and playing with her. Your mommy and daddy were blessed to have you. Their Little Engine that Could, so strong like your MOMMY.
I will always show everyone how strong you are, I am throwing a big party this Saturday for you at the spa. Lots of people coming to relax for you and then you get to donate the money to the March Of Dimes. How exciting, have a great Bday
Love you always and forever
Happy Birthday,
Aunt Amanda and Uncle Aaron
Hannah TOO!!!!!
