12. Happy Belated Easter Boobie, this was another sad Easter without you and because of the current situation this was the very first Easter without everyone. Easter for you must have been glorious and beautiful up in Heaven. We miss you Boobie, please help watch over all of us as this is a very difficult time in life. Keep shining bright my little star in the sky, until we meet again MJ. Nana and Tata love you so much.

13. Good morning Boobie, your anniversary is getting near, how time flies. Almost 6 years ago you grew wings and flew home to Heaven, it seems just like yesterday that your presence was lifted from us. People say when losing a loved one the pain tends to ease once time passes. I have not yet begun to feel any less pain in my heart my sweet little Boobie . I know your mommy feels the same way, I have noticed the sadness in her face and the change in her mood as your anniversary nears. Sookie is also having some difficulties in life at this time 'which are very concerning for all of us'. We continue to give her lot's of support and love to help get her through this difficult time " we want our happy little hyper Sookie back" she's gone through so much my poor baby. MJ please continue to watch over your mommy and Peyton, they need all the supports and Blessings they can get. We miss you so much Boobie, keep shining bright high in Heaven. Love and miss you dearly, luv Nana

14. Hello my little Boobie, Nana heard this song "dancing in the Sky" it's a beautiful song and when listening to it... All I could think of was you and all the energy you have. I believe that you're keeping everyone on their toes in Heaven and are putting a lot of smiles on a lot of faces up there. Hopefully this song will play, when it does go find your Aunt Carrie and dance with her. We luv you, miss you and think about you always. Luv Nana...

15. Good morning Boobie, wishing you a Happy 4th of July. Me and your Tata didn't go anywhere to watch the fireworks, we weren't really up to it. Nana thinks about you always and misses you so much. Who needs fireworks when you light up the sky, Happy 4th Boobie. Nana loves you :)

16. Good morning my little Boobie, Nana has you on my mind, not just today but always. Luv the adorable picture that most recently added (by a Marie), your laughter and smile is so contagious. I remember the times you would start giggling, which would make us start giggling, then the giggles turned into a full blow laughter followed by tears, aching in the jaw and sore ribs and stomach because we couldn't stop laughing. Miss you so much... Until we meet again my little Boobie, luv Nana

35. Happy, Happy 8th Birthday to our precious little angel MJ in Heaven. We're hoping that you're having a huge celebration up there with all our other loved ones. I just saw your Mama's video singing you Happy Birthday at your resting place. It's raining and she made the comment that she's hoping that it would stop raining so she could get out of the car and sing to you. I told your Mama that you have created such a huge celebration in Heaven that the clouds couldn't withhold all the happiness. I also informed her that you most likely made it rain because you're to use to seeing her run all over the place for you that you just wanted to keep her on her toes. We wish you my little Boobie, wish you were still here with us. Happy Birthday luv Nana and Tata....

59. Good morning Boobie, it's so hard to believe that it's been 4 years since you were taken away from us. Your memory, laughter and your cute little face remain in hearts "ALWAYS".... You are so truly missed, Sookie ask for you all the time. She continues to carry her little build a bear around with her. She named him MJ, he is now 4 years old. I miss you Boobie, keep shining away in the sky and continue to watch over us "especially your Mom and Sookie". Wish you were here, love ya so much, love Nana!

60. Good morning Boobie, we made it back safely from our motorcycle trip... Thank you for watching over us, felt your presence with us and saw some awesome sites while traveling. We did approximately 3200 miles "8 states in 10 days on our Harley's" Yellow Stone was absolutely beautiful. Luv & Miss you, Thinking of you Always, Luv Nana & Tata :)

61. Good morning Boobie, Nana thinks of you always and misses you like it was yesterday. The memories are so strong for both happy and sad which makes it harder for the pain to go away. Nana, Tata, some family and friends are getting ready for our big bike trip, I know you're always watching over us, so I know we have our own Special Guardian Angel which makes me feel a whole lot safer. Nana luvs you Boobie, wishing you were here, but you're in a much more beautiful place than the rest of us. Please continue to watch over your Mommy and Sookie they need you. Missing You Dearly & Loving You Eternally

65. Good morning Boobie, wanted you to be a part of Sookie's special day today and always (Happy Birthday Peyton)... It's hard to believe she's already 8yrs old! Boobie, Day after day, year after year, we live and we laugh and we grow. We continue to savor our joys, learn from our mistakes, let life's little setbacks all go. We're so grateful for the time we were able to have with you and for all the memories our hearts hold of your beautiful little face a cute little laughter. Boobie, our goal in life is that every new year holds the greatest hope and faith that it will be our best year yet. We pray all the time that Sookie will be reunited with your Mommy soon, it's been to long.... Hopefully it won't be too much longer. Miss you so much, my little Boobie. Nana luvs you!

70. Good Morning Boobie, Happy New Years.... Yes, another year has come and gone and things haven't gotten any easier to deal with. We are all still struggling with the fact that Sookie is still torn between two households which makes it extremely hard on everyone "especially her" you can see it in her sad eyes that she is so unhappy and wants to be home with her Mommy. It's been a long haul, however that day will come soon and her life will be back the way it should be. Boobie please help give Sookie the guidance and strength she needs to get through this tough ordeal she's going through. Boobie we miss you so much and feel like the time isn't healing our wounds. We hope you are resting, luv you so much my little Boobie.... Luv Nana

71. Hi Son! These last couple of weeks have been difficult for me. The holidays are not the same without you. Sometimes when I am driving home from work I glance in my rear view mirror and sometimes I think I see you looking back at me like you used to when you were here sitting behind me in Ka-Chow. I break down and cry. I miss you so much. I have been waiting the past three years to see you. I feel like you have been with me quite often on the rides home, when I am driving alone. I love you so much. I promise to try not to be sad, because I know you want me to be happy. Love you forever and always, Mommy

73. Good morning my little Boobie and Happy, Happy Birthday.... It's hard to believe that your 6yrs old today and how I'd bet you'd still be running circle around all of us still :) Not a day goes bye that you don't cross our minds or your name doesn't cross our lips as well as I continue saying good morning to you when walking your Tata out for work and good night when saying my prayers before going to bed. I miss you Boobie.... Sookie talks about you quite often, your memory will continue to remain alive as well as your beautiful little face will never be forgotten in her mind as your mommy and the rest of us will make sure of that. You will always be visual and a part of everything we do, we miss you dearly my sweet little MJ, I will always treasure the precious memories I have of you and keep them close to my heart. Happy Birthday O.J. (Boobie) xoxoxoxoxoxxoxo luv Nana

74. A Picture I only have a picture now, A frozen piece of time, To remind me of how it was, When you were here, and mine. I see your smiling eyes, Each morning when I wake, I talk to you, and place a kiss, Upon your lovely face. How much I miss you being here, I really cannot say, The ache is deep inside my heart, And never goes away. I hear it mentioned often, That time will heal the pain, But if I'm being honest, I hope it will remain. I need to feel you constantly, To get me through the day, I loved you so very much, Why did you go away? The angels came and took you, That really wasn't fair, They took my one and only Son, My future life. My heir. If only they had asked me, If I would take your place, I would have done so willingly, Leaving you this world to grace. You should have had so many years, To watch your life unfold, And in the mist of this, Watch me, your Mum grow old! I hope you're watching from above, At the daily tasks I do, And let there be no doubt at all, I really do love you.

75. Good morning my Little Boobie, my heart is very heavy this morning and has been for the past week or so. I will be picking up Sookie this afternoon so we'll be stopping by to hang out with you. It's hard to believe that it's already been three years that you've been gone and the time hasn't gotten any easier to deal with your loss. The Holidays are right around the corner again which will only dredge up a lot of emotions again "especially Halloween knowing this is the closest holiday around your passing" we will try and make the best of it as we always do". With the strength of family support and close friends we'll able to remain strong and bonded. We miss you Boobie and not a day goes by that we don't think of you. Until we meet my little Boobie, please continue to watch over all of us "especially my Sookie" and help give your mommy the strength to continue to work through the years to come. Luv you muncho, Luv Nana!

76. Hi Boobie, thinking of you always..... Not a day goes by that you don't cross my mind. As you're probably well aware, you now have a new cousin "Lennon". What a bundle of joy just like you and all my grandchildren when they were born. I miss you dearly and wish to God you were here. I know everyone says things happen for a reason, but I'll never understand the reasoning for this. My heart is extremely heavy and feel that I may never have peace it again. I continue to pray that things will get better, which I believe that time can heal all wounds, however feel that time can't heal all the pain in my heart. I continue to feel that the struggles remain deep, and even with all the joy and happiness in my life "with what happened to you has made my life feel so unbalanced". I will continue to remain strong for my family and for my precious grandchildren because you / they mean the world to me. You will never be forgotten, I miss you so bad and still til this day, I say "Good morning and Good night my Lil Boobie, I luv u".....

77. Good Morning Son! My heart has been feeling really heavy the last couple of days. Your anniversary is almost here. It just seems like yesterday that you went away. Mommy just discovered that one of her good friends past away yesterday. Erick was an amazing person and was loved dearly by all those who's lives he touched, just like you son. He was so sad to hear about your passing, and always wanted to meet you. Although he felt like he knew you well from all your pictures on FB. Now he finally gets to meet you in heaven. Please watch over his wife and family and give them strength to get through this tragedy. Please continue to watch over your sister and give her guidance. She asks about you all the time. It breaks my heart. You would be so proud of us both as we continue each day as we continue to struggle with your loss. I love you son. Mommy

84. Good morning Boobie, today's a big day for your Mommy. Please give her strength and guidance to get through this difficult obstacle as life has dealt all of you - your Mommy, Sookie and most of all you a bad hand and it's time for things to change. Nothing can ever bring you back to us but we will never forget you. You will always be in our thoughts and your beautiful memories will live on in us always, we're praying that Sookie will be reunited with your Mommy after today, after all this is where she belongs....... She should have never ended up where she is today. We love and miss you Boobie, we are also missing out on a lot with Sookie too so please help bring your sister home to us "she looks so unhappy, she deserves better". Nana luvs you and misses you dearly.....

97. Good morning Boobie, thinking of you always and continue missing you so much. I see your cute little face every morning that I start up my computer at which time I send out a huge I love and miss you my little Boobie. My heart continues to hurt with everything that has occurred since your passing. Hoping that this year things will change for the best and our family be blessed with Sookie back in our lives (the way things use to be). My heart hurt so badly for her as she still continues to remain confused with everything that has happened and uncertain how to feel not being able to live with her mommy. This has taken such a huge impact on her as well as us having to watch her go through all the difficulties with living here and there and never having stability in her life. Hoping that this is the year everything will change. To have Sookie back with her Mommy would be a huge blessing from above, Boobie please help mend our broken hearts and help Sookie be reunited with us soon. It hurts me so much to see the pain she goes through, it would be so nice to see the sparkle return to her eyes and be the happy spunky little girl she was before. Miss you Boobie, luv Nana

121. Good morning Boobie, it's Halloween Eve and wishing you were here. I can still see your little face in your cute little race car costume and just fighting like crazy to get out of your stroller. You we're something to watch, it became quite humorous to see your mommy trying to keep up with you. You would think that she would have been able to slow down by now but that's not the case, Sookie continues to keep her on her toes. Sookie is going to dress like a Princess for Halloween, she looks so beautiful and grown up. I feel as if we have missed out on a lot of her everyday events as well as her growing pains. She has lost about four teeth now, when asking did the tooth fairy come to see you she said "no my daddy said the tooth fairy doesn't know where we live". It saddened me to hear that, Sookie is missing out on a lot of experiences that should become childhood memories for her in the future. I pray every night for your mommy and Sookie to be reunited soon so she can have these childhood memories she deserves. Boobie, your mommy dressed as Batman in your Honor today, she looked cute but not as cute as you did.....please continue to watch over Sookie, keep her safe and help give guidance back where she belongs. Nana luvs you dearly, Happy Halloween, have a Spooktacular Day! Missing you always.

122. M.J. Hi son! I miss you so much!!! This month has been very difficult for me. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you, or even say your name. I talk about you daily. The though of your smile and laughter, always makes me feel better. Every morning and every night I see your star shining so bright in the sky. I love you to the moon and back. Love, Mommy

124. Good morning my little Boobie, thinking of you always and miss you dearly. Today is your little cousin Maverick's birthday, he turned 3 today and is so full of energy...... Just like you. He has a lot of your traits and reminds me a lot of you, wish you were here with us to join in on your cousin's celebration especially because it saddens me that you were only able to celebrate 2 of your own. We know you'll be with us in spirit but we'd rather have you here with us. I know I shouldn't be selfish but I have a hard time understanding why you were taken away from us so early in life. I'm aware that God had other plans for you and called his Angel home and it makes me happy knowing that your safe up there and are running around like crazy without a care in the world. But my heart remains extremely heavy not being able to hug and kiss you or place your cute little face in my hands. I noticed a posting from one of your teachers which brought tears to my eyes knowing that other individuals are continuing to think about you and miss you as well. I luv you Boobie and will always keep you in my thoughts as well as close to my wounded heart. Luv Nana

125. Oh how I miss you and think of you often. I miss my morning hugs and how you would fight to get out of your mom's arms to run down the hall to jump in my arms and give me the best hug ever. You knew that I needed that hug every morning, I miss them. It definitely made my day. I can't believe you have been in Heaven for two years, running on streets of gold. It seems just like yesterday you were in my class giggling and eating crackers. Love you MJ!

126. Good morning my beautiful little Boobie, today is your second Anniversary that you were taken away from us and we miss you so much. We will be up to see you later this afternoon along with Sookie to spend some special quality time with you. Your mommy was playing your heart recording along with your laughter last night for me and your Tata, it was so touching and amazing to hear you, it was as if you were right there with us. I can still picture seeing you there playing with the door stopper, you loved to play with that and we loved and enjoyed watching how much that little thing amused you, your laugh was so contagious. Your beautiful memories will remain in my heart forever. I luv you Boobie and miss you dearly, my heart hurts very much but it's helpful knowing that you are in better hands then the rest of us. Please continue to keep Sookie out of harms way and give your mommy the strength to get through everything that has been dealt to her. I will see you again, I will hug you tight and I will never let you go again. I luv you Boobie, keep shining above :)

127. Good morning my little Boobie, thank you for sending me the little messages passed through your little pin wheel. It's an awesome and beautiful feeling knowing that you're Mommy and Sookie communicate to you, and you them through your special little pin wheel. We miss you so much, your memory will continue on through eternity. We will always make sure that Sookie never forgets about you as your Mommy takes her to see you every chance she gets so your memory will always remain fresh in her mind, but you know this already huh..... Nana luvs you!

133. Good morning Boobie, Please help with giving your mommy the strength to make it through each day, she is having an extremely tough time without you and Sookie. We miss the both of you dearly and have had a sense of emptiness since your passing. We pray each day that Sookie will be able to come back to your mommy soon and full-time. You can see it in your mommy's face that she is totally lost without the both of you. You are a very special Angel, Boobie please watch over your mommy and Sookie and please help bring them back together. We miss you and love you more then words will ever tell. Luv Nana..........

135. Good morning my Little Boobie, I'm feeling a little blue this morning while staring at your picture. It's hard to believe that you've been gone a year and 9 months now. Even through it's been this long the emotions continue to run deep, feels as if it was just yesterday cause the pain never goes away. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you, I continue to look up into the sky every morning to say good morning to you as well as night time to look for your star and say good night. Boobie, I miss your little face so much and your energetic personality. Please continue to watch over your Mommy and Sookie and keep them safe. If there was a wish that you could answer for us, it would please help reunite your Mommy and sister. Luv you always and miss you more then you'll ever know. Luv Nana

I know I struggle with your loss all the time, therefore cannot image the impact on your parents "especially your mommy". Miss you Boobie, think of you everyday....... Luv Nana

We spend a lot of time talking about you and looking at your pictures and videos. It pains me to see her struggle in her life without you. I always tell her that "MJ is ALWAYS with you, in your heart" She always says I know mama. I wish I could take all of her pain away. I love you son. I think of you every single day of my life. Love, Mommy

146. Good morning my little Boobie, today is Sookies 6th Birthday and wish you were here to celebrate it with her. Unfortunately we're not even able to spend it with her either because its your daddy's weekend to have her. Your Mommy was able to pick Sookie up last night and somewhat celebrate her special day but only for a couple of hours. Wishing things were different because this back and fourth stuff is so difficult to deal with especially for Sookie "she's so confused". I miss you Boobie, every time I think of you I wish that this was all a terrible nightmare and that you would come walking up the hallway and you, Sookie and your Mommy would be back together again. I love and miss you so much. Luv Nana

148. Good morning Boobie, just met with your mommy this morning and noticed that she isn't having a good morning so far. Not really sure what to say to her when she's feeling sad and disconnects from everyone around her. I know she will bounce back but as for now she has a lot on her plate. Please help your mommy get through all the difficulties she is facing right now and give her strength to take on anything coming her way. She, as well as all of us are missing you and Sookie immensely, please help guide your sister back in the arms of your mommy cause they both need each other. I love and miss you so much Boobie, keep your star shining bright cause I look forward to seeing you every night. Luv Nana

150. Good morning Boobie, miss you dearly. I'm having a hard time getting started this morning but as the time passes I know things will get better throughout the day. I try and stay as positive and optimistic as possible as I firmly believe in that saying "this too shall pass". I'm missing you terribly but know that you are in a much better place then the rest of us. I look at your little picture everyday, the sparkle in your eyes is so mesmerizing and when looking at you I always remember hearing you call out to your mommy "mum, mum" then running away from her laughing. I also remember when Sookie would tease you and take your blanket away and when catching her you would jump on to your blanket and she would drag you around the house with both of you just laughing up a storm. I miss this so much, we all miss you my little Boobie, I luv you so much with all my heart. Until we meet again, Luv Nana

152. M.J. Hello my precious angel. I miss you so much. Mommy is feeling a little more than emotional today, but I know you will help me get through the day, as you always do. Things are slowly settling down and returning to some kind of normal. Oh how I wish I could see you and hold you. Peyton misses you so much. We always talk about you, and she still calls you her "O.J." I know she is still somewhat confused about where you are, and I do my best to explain to her by showing her books and pictures of angels in heaven. Our Sunday visits with you are getting a little bit better. It seems as if Peyton is becoming more comfortable visiting you, as she talks to you now because she asked me "mommy why do you talk to O.J. he is not here"? I told her because he can hear us. Even though we can't see him, if we talk to him, he hears us. I told her that you are always with us, in our hearts. On the Sundays when I have your sister, she takes pride in always cleaning up your head stone really good, and also fixing your toy cars and flowers. It breaks my heart when she shows sadness and says I miss my O.J. mommy! I want to hug him. I try so hard to be strong for her, but I end up crying along with her. We always watch your videos and look at all of the pictures of you. Mommy promises to always keep your memory alive, I always have you with me where ever I go. We love you and miss you dearly M.J. Love Mommy and Peyton

153. M.J. Hello son. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you so much. The other day I came across several videos of you that I thought I had lost. I was so happy that I found them, and sad because I just wish so much that you were here. I am so happy I was able to capture those happy moments of you on video and will be able to share them with Peyton, family and friends. I love you to the moon and back. Mommy

Happy, Happy 4th Birthday my little Boobie, You are truly missed and the holidays are not the same without you, however its helpful to feel your presence in our home, at our work place and especially when visiting with you. It such a sense of comfort knowing that you're watching and taking care of us from above, Sookie misses you really really bad and is having a difficult time in school with her behavior as we believe that she doesn't quite know how to express herself as well as her feelings because she hasn't had any counseling, she is truly having a rough time being able to comprehend why you're not here and where your at. Boobie please watch over your sister and try and help guide her in the right direction. Please help get her back home with your mommy.

168. M.J. The holidays are not the same without your bright eyes, delightful smile and your sweet laughter. I miss you so much. I can't believe that your birthday is this weekend. You will be four years old. Oh how I wish so much that you were here. I miss your hugs and kisses. I miss playing peek-a-boo with you. I miss watching you line up all of your little toy cars in a row. I miss all of those early mornings that you would sneek into my bed and sit right on top of my chest and say "Mum milk" as you put your little hands upon my face. I would open my eyes to see your big cheesy smile and sippy cup in hand. At times I have bittersweet moments when I will see something that reminds me of you. Sometimes I will smile and sometimes I cry. I just think it is your way of telliing me that even though I can't see you, doesn't mean that you are not here, because you are. I carry you with me always in my heart. I love you to the moon and back. Mommy

169. Good morning Boobie, Nana wanted to wish you a Happy Halloween. We miss you so much and wish you were here. We received the audio of your heart beat the other day, what an amazing sound it was. To hear your heat beating brought such sadness but at the same time much joy and laughter to our hearts. Baby Michael is doing well,has fully excepted your gift of life and appears to have ongoing progress with his health. We are hoping that we will be able to interact with all your Recipients in the near future "mostly baby Michael" as it would bring us much comfort being able to have your heart close to ours once again. Have a spook-tacular day, Love you and Miss you so much Boobie. Love, Nana

170. M.J. A year ago today God decided that it was time for you to go home. You got your wings, and made that trip up to heaven. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I long to feel you presence and yearn to hear your laughter. If I could just see you for a moment to know that you are happy, a moment would be all I need to comfort my grieving heart. Peyton misses you so much. She is still very confused about where you are. She tells me that she loves and misses her "OJ". She thinks you are lost. Her world has changed so much since you left, as so did mine. We all miss you and love you M.J. Xoxo's Mommy

173. Good morning my little Boobie, Just watched Heaven Is For Reals last night, it hit to close to home but was an amazing moving it made me think of you being in such a beautiful place. This brought great comfort to me knowing that you may have felt the same way that little boy felt when you started your journey to Heaven. Knowing that the Angels greeted you and showed you the path to open arms of loved ones, at the same time it brought me such sadness feeling as if you were alone being so little and all. M.J. you're in a much better place then the rest of us but wish you were here with us. Sookie misses you so much too, she ask about you all the time "where's my O.J." she says.... We have tried many times to explain to her that you are with the Angels but she doesn't fully understand yet, in time she will better understand everything. She has gone through a lot of challenges in her life since your passing, we are hopeful that she will be able to get past all the obstacles that have been creating such turmoil in her life. Once she is back in the arms of her mommy and in the care of our family things will start looking up for her. Nana misses you so much, please continue watching over Sookie, she needs all the supports she can get and help take the pain away from her. Luv Nana

Are your days filled with love and light? Is there music, is there art and invention? Tell me are you happy, are you more alive? Cause here on earth it feels like everything good is missing Since you left, and here on earth everythings different, there's an emptiness Oh oh I, I hope your dancing in the sky, And I hope your singing in the angels choir, And I hope the angels know what they have, I'll bet it's so nice up in heaven since you arrived, I hope your dancing in the sky, And I hope your singing in the angels choir, And I hope the angels know what they have, I'll bet it's so nice up in heaven since you arrived, Since you've arrived.

177. There is a special Angel in Heaven that was a part of me. It is not where I wanted him but where God wanted him to be. He was here but just a moment like a night time shooting star. And though he is in Heaven He isn't very far. He touched the hearts of many like only an Angel can do. I would've held him every minute if the end I ever knew. So I send this special message to the Heavens up above. Please take care of my Angel and send him all My Love We love and miss you baby MJ!

179. Hi my little Boobie, "Great news today" Sookie gets to spend the weekends with us, we wanted more but have to take baby steps to get there. Soon she will be back home where she belongs, once this happens we will take the time needed to make sure she is aware of everything that has happened and why. She will see your pictures everywhere in our home and will be educated on where you are because she has remained confused about everything and hasn't had the attention she requires to grieve or understand the process. Sookie will soon get the counseling she needs to help her better understand where you are, its sad to say that her needs have been neglected for all these past months but hopefully things will soon change. We miss and love you Boobie, we burn a candle for you always. You will never be forgotten and once Sookie returns back to us we will all have comfort in our hearts knowing "you" and all of us are back together again the way it should be. Luv Nana

181. Good morning Boobie, Nana is reaching out to you today to let you know that we are feeling so good about the recent information that we received from examiners office. This has been quite the hall getting to this point in your case but have finally received closure. As we were all aware from the very beginning "your mommy never did anything to harm you", we now have confirmation that nobody else placed harm on you as well. This brings great comfort to us knowing that you were not harmed in any way, it is unfortunate that you were taken from us so early in life (cause of death medical) but I firmly believe that you are in a better place then the rest of us. I sensed your presence the day we received this information and know that everything will be okay with regards to Peyton, she will return back to your mommy where she belongs. To all those cruel individuals that placed judgment on your mommy and continued to be extremely ugly about everything, SHAME ON THEM..... May they all learn from this and be more sensitive toward others if ever having to face any similar situation. The Perez / Corona family will pray for you "you know who you are"....... Nana loves you Boobie, rest in peace......

182. Good morning Boobie, I sensed you last night "which I loved" I yearn for your presence and feel very blessed when you come around. I know your resting so it doesn't make me feel that your not when you visit us. Our home is the only one that you have truly ever known, after all this is where you and Sookie practically hung out at. We thank your mommy for being the mom that she is and for keeping the both of you in our lives. She did an excellent job with you and your sister with keeping you guys involved in all our family activities. She continues to do her best right now with Sookie, however under the circumstances it has become extremely difficult for her while Sookie remains out of her care. We will soon have her back where she belongs and will try and get her life back on track, she too has been going through some difficult times being away from your mommy but hopefully this will all be over soon. We all miss you so very much. Luv you Boobie, Luv Nana

184. Hi my little Boobie, it saddens me to have to send my messages to you this way but without your little page I would be even more saddened with not knowing how to be able to express myself to you. Boobie, you have now been gone for 7 months which feels like eternity. I miss you so bad. Nana loves you so much......... wish you were here. Hugs and kisses to you from all of us especially my little Sookie she misses you very much too.

185. M.J. I miss you so much. I long to hold you in my arms and embrace you tightly. I long to smell your scent. I yern to hear your laughter and see your smiling face. These past couple of days my heart has been extremely heavy and the tears just dont seem to stop. Sometimes I just sit very still and hope to sense your presence or to see your spirit walking towards me. It seems like an eternity before I see you again, but until then you are with me everywhere I go. You're like the wind I feel you at times, but I can't see you. I love you to the moon and back. Mommy

188. Good morning my little Boobie, missing you terribly and wishing you were here. Getting ready for Easter, should be a great time as usual but it wont be the same without you. Please let us sense your presence this weekend, it would definitely be the high light of our day. I miss you Boobie, I'll give Sookie big hugs and kisses for you. We're hope full that we'll be able to spend extra time with her this weekend since it's Easter but lately your dad hasn't been very cooperative or considerate of our time with her. Hoping this will all come to an end soon and Sookie will be back home with your mommy where she belongs. Love you with all my heart, Happy Easter Boobie. Love Nana

189. Hi my little Boobie, it's been a long struggle for all of us with you no longer being present in our lives. You'll always be in our hearts and memories but the thought of never being able to hold you again brings enormous grief to me. I had a dream the other night where I actually was able to have you in my arms again and you were happy "this was a dream I never wanted to wake up from" unfortunately reality set in and I had to return to the emptiness of you being gone again. I miss you Boobie soooooo much, with all my heart and love may it reach to the stars and shine bright all over you. Luv your Nana

191. M.J. My heart has been heavy all week. My heart aches so much from being with you and your sister. I had a dream of you and Potato last night. You both were so happy playing and chasing eachother around like you always did before. The dream felt so real when I woke up I was happy and at the same time felt sadness. I miss you so much. I think of you always. I love you to the moon and back. Love, Mommy

192. M.J., Today has been 5 months since you went away. Your absence has left me heartbroken. I feel frustrated having to wait all this time to have closure. I grieve daily, but I feel like I cannot grieve completely until the unknown is known. Nothing in this world could ever compare to the sadness I feel. At times I am angry, because you were taken from me to soon. As a parent you would never think you would have to bury your child. Parents think that their children will out live them. I continue to struggle with the fact that you are gone. I miss you so much. I find myself asking why? Why were you taken from me? Why my son? Life can be extremely unfair at times. I always try to keep a positive mind even though there is a lot going on. I know that you don't want me to be sad. It is so hard not to be. I think of all the beautiful memories you left me with and it brings happy tears and a smile to my face. You were always so happy and your smile was contagious. I yearn to hear your laughter and to see your sweet little face again. Until then I will be here until we meet again one day. Please watch over your sister as she misses her "O.J." dearly. Mommy loves you to the moon and back.

194. Good morning Boobie, feeling a bit down this morning. My heart was weighing extremely heavy last night, I could not control my emotions and could no longer fight back the tears. As my tears streamed down my face I kept asking why, why do things happen that cause such grief. It feels extremely unfair that you were taken from us, your absence has left such an empty feeling in a number of us. I know that God is never suppose to be questioned, however "I do find myself continuing to ask why" I guess we'll never really understand why this happens. Only God knows what plans lye ahead for each and every one of us. The pain I feel since you've been gone will never subside and the emptiness will never be filled. They say that time heals all wounds "right now this doesn't seem possible" I miss you so much. Boobie, I look forward to saying good morning and good night to you everyday so keep shining bright up there. Nana loves you so much and misses you dearly. With a heavy, heavy heart missing you always........Luv Nana

• My little Angels, forever in my heart. Boobie, Nana loves you and misses you so much, Peyton misses you too, she's been asking for you a lot lately. When we finally had the chance to be with her last weekend your mommy explained to her that you are now with the Angels. My poor little Sookie believed that you were still at the doctors and would be coming home soon. I'm not really sure how much she was able to comprehend what she was being told to her, but she now says "OJ's with the Angels now and is in my heart". Hopefully the time will come soon where we will be able to explain to her better about Heaven. Sookie was also informed that you're watching over her and will keep her safe, now you can protect her and watch over her like she always did you...... I miss you Boobie, Luv Nana

212. M.J., Hello my son. I miss you dearly. Over the weekend I was able to finally see Peyton. It was a wonderful visit full of smiles and a little bit of happy tears. She asked "where is my O.J. mommy"? She knows that you are with the Angels baby. She misses you so much. I know she really doesn't understand, and is a bit confused about where you are. Make sure you visit her from time to time. I feel as if you may be resting now, as I don't feel your presence as much as I used to. I yearn to feel your presence again soon. I love you to the moon and back. Love, Mommy

213. Good morning Boobie, was only able to see your little star for a brief moment this morning before the clouds came in but you were shining bright like always. "Well, tomorrow is the big day where we will all be able to see my little Sookie" it's only for a short time but it's better then nothing. We have been so excited that we haven't been able to sleep. When telling Peyton that we were going to pick her up this Saturday I can hear the excitement in her voice as well. She began repeating over and over "I'm going to my Nana and Tata's house and I'm gonna see my Momma and O.J. I tried to explain to her that you wouldn't be there and when doing so she said "oh, O.J's still at the doctors Nana". This broke my heart because Peyton doesn't even realize that you are in Heaven and that she will never see you again. We are hoping that we will be able to have the time to explain it to her but only when she is capable of understanding. I know she thinks about you all the time and is probably pretty confused that you haven't been around, because after all you two were inseparable. You will never be forgotten Boobie, we will keep your memory very much alive and will speak of you always to Peyton. We will give her big hugs and kisses for you tomorrow. Nana loves you and misses you dearly.....

217. Good morning Boobie, thank you for helping us have the strength to deal with court yesterday. Things really haven't changed much because of lack of information, however there was a little light at the end of the tunnel. We are finally able to see Sookie this Saturday and are very excited to spend time with her. I can't wait to have her in my arms and squeeze her until I cant anymore. Hoping you can share your presence with us on this special day. We love and miss the both of you dearly. Love you always, Nana

218. Good morning Boobie, tomorrow is another court date for your mommy. Please provide your strength to do what you can and what is right for the well being of my Little Sookie. I was able to speak with Peyton one time 2 weeks ago and haven't been able to speak with her since then. I was so happy to hear her voice and especially happy to hear her laugh. However I was very saddened when conversation was coming to an end. I was attempting to end call when Peyton says to me "I love you Nana and my Tata" she then said I can't find my Momma and I need to go to school". This crushed my heart to hear her say this, please help Peyton get back to us so she can return back to her daily routine that she is use to. We miss you Boobie, Love Nana

219. Hi my little Boobie, I miss you so much. I say hi and good morning to you every day and look into the sky every night searching for your star. I know you're at peace now because I haven't sensed you around lately. If every you feel like popping in we always look forward to feeling your presence. We miss you Boobie, stay shining bright in the sky like the twinkle, twinkle little star you are. Nana loves you so much :)

220. M.J., Hello son :) I am thinking of you. I always think about how you always had your favorite "Dallas Cowboys" blanket with you wherever we went. When you would walk around with it, you would have a part of your blanket hanging off your left shoulder and the rest of your blanket you would drag behind you. You were so cute. You reminded me so much of Linus from Charlie Brown. That blanket went through everything with you. It had seen the washer machine so many times, that it started to fall apart. It was often used for tug-o-war between you and your sister. I crack myself up when I think about how you would sit on a part of your blanket while Peyton pulled on a corner of it and she would drag you around the house. You would hold on and the both of you would just giggle. Peyton would say "hold on O.J." as she never called you M.J. You both were so close, like best friends. You two were inseparable. I loved how when I would drop off and pick you both up from daycare you greeted each other with a kiss and a hug. You two loved each other so much. I loved watching the two of you interact with each other. I love you to the moon and back. Love, Mommy

221. M.J. I think of you always. I miss you so much. The days are long and the nights are lonely. I often wait and hope that you and Peyton would just sneak into my bed in the middle of the night, like you both used to. I remember all those sleepless nights. (I would wait until you and Peyton were in a deep sleep, that way I could put your both back into your beds.) At times I was so sleepy and we would play the back and forth game :) The truth is I wish that my sleepless nights now were because of you and your sister hogging up the bed and the blankets. I miss waking up to you slapping me in the face with your little hands saying "MUM" to wake me up. Or you would just lay next to me and lay your head on my chest. You were always so cuddly. I miss Saturday mornings...I could hear yours and Peyton's feet pidder patter down the hallway, running towards my room. So I would act like I was asleep and put the blankets over my head. You both would get on my bed and start bouncing around, and I would try to scare you both and you two would just laugh. Those were the best times. I love you to the moon and back. Love, Mommy

222. M.J. I remember when I would take you and Peyton to the park to feed the ducks. You would start to giggle when the ducks would come toward you and start quacking. Peyton would always scare them because she would yell at them and chase them away. I often go to the park to feed the ducks. It is not the same without you and Peyton. I remember taking you both to the playground after feeding the ducks. Peyton loved the swings, but you absolutely hated the swings. You threw a fit when I tried to put you in the swing. Once I took you out of the swing and your feet hit the ground you took off. As you always did. You had the shortest little legs, but you were so fast. You loved climbing and sliding down the slide. It always made me happy to see both of my babies happy and enjoying themselves. I miss you so much. I will forever cherish the beautiful memories I have of you. I love you to the moon and back. Love, Mommy

Your Aunt Carrie is now up there with you "which you're probably already aware of". We miss the both of you with all are hearts and think about you always, my heart remains heavy without you being here with us as well as having the emptiness of not having Peyton in our lives right now. I would love to hear both of your laughter and see your beautiful little faces again. Nana loves you and misses you with all my heart :(

225. M.J. Hello my son. I can just see you now spreading your beautiful spirit up above. I always get so teary eyed whenever I come here to write to you. I miss you so much. One of my greatest memories of you is when we would go to Nana and Tata's house, you would always play with the door stopper. You would flick it and it would make a funny noise, followed by your cute little chuckles. You really did get a kick out of the noise it made. I always got a kick out of watching you laugh. You were always such a cheerful and happy baby boy. That is the way I will always remember you. I love you to the moon and back. Love, Mommy

226. M.J. I miss you son. The holidays have been really difficult for me. It is not the same without you and your sister. I can still see you and Peyton opening Christmas presents from last year at Nana and Tata's house. You were so infatuated with the ABC blocks that you got from your Tia Bridgette. You were repeatedly dumping your blocks out on the floor and then putting all of your blocks back in the container they came in. You did that for about 15 minutes. It was so cute. It saddens me that your gone and we won't be able to spend anymore holidays together, but I know you are always there in spirit. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Everywhere I go and everything I do there seems to always be something that reminds me of you. That is why I know you are always with me, wherever I go. M.J., Mommy knows that you do not want me to be sad. It is so hard. When I began to cry I think of your bright smile, it makes me happy and for a moment the hurt and pain goes away. I would give anything to see you again even if it is just for a moment. A moment would be all that I would need. I love you to the moon and back M.J. Love, Mommy

229. Good Morning Boobie, I'm missing you terribly, my heart is in much confusion as I am extremely sad every time I think about you but on the other hand full of happiness remembering your bright little face. As I finish up my Christmas shopping I see signs of you every where, at first I find myself beginning to giggle then I my eyes begin to tear up. I continue having the most difficult time believing that you are gone. The Holidays have not been the same without you and they never will again, you are truly missed Boobie there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. P.S. all Nana wants for Christmas is to know that you are resting and that Peyton will soon be reunited with us. I miss both of you sooooooo much, MY HEART BREAKS FOR THE BOTH OF YOU DAILY......................

230. I remember your bare feet down the hallway I remember your little laugh Race cars on the kitchen floor, plastic dinosaurs I love you to the moon and back I remember your brown eyes looking into mine Like we had our own secret club I remember you dancing before bed time Then jumping on me, waking me up I can still feel you hold my hand, little man And even the moment I knew You fought it hard like an army guy Remember I leaned in and whispered to you Come on M.J. with me, we're gonna fly away from here You were my best three years I remember the drive home When the blind hope turned to crying and screaming "Why?" Flowers pile up in the worst way, no one knows what to say About a beautiful boy who died And it's about to be Halloween You could be anything you wanted if you were still here I remember the last day when I kissed your face And whispered in your ear Come on M.J. with me, we're gonna fly away from here Out of this curtained room in this hospital grey, we'll just disappear Come on M.J. with me, we're gonna fly away from here You were my best three years What if I'm standing in your closet trying to talk to you? What if I kept the hand-me-downs you won't grow into? And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through? What if the miracle was even getting one moment with you? Come on M.J. with me, we're gonna fly away from here Come on M.J. with me, we're gonna fly away from here You were my best three years I remember your bare feet down the hallway I love you to the moon and back I love and miss you my beautiful Angel.

236. M.J. Hello my son. I miss you so much and would give anything to see you or feel your little hands touch my face again. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I remember the first time I met you. I was so happy. I felt so blessed to have a beautiful and healthy baby boy. M.J. you were truly a blessing son. I will forever cherish all of the memories and the short time I was able to have you. You were always such a good baby, always so happy. Sometimes I hope to walk into the kitchen and see your little toy cars lined up side by side. Or to hear you laugh, or say MUM...I hope to hear your little feet pitter patter down the tile floor in the hallway. I miss playing peek-a-boo with you and trying to scare you and you would just laugh. I miss you sitting on/or next to me watching your favorite movies with you Cars, Cars 2 and Wreck-it-Ralph. You were always so loving and sweet. I miss holding you in my arms and you resting your head on my shoulder. Or me patting your back as you would gently pat mine. I remember how you would blow me kisses, or dance when I would sing to you. I find myself at times eating your favorite foods such as Chicken Nuggets, Gold Fish and Cherrios dry in a bowl with a cup of milk on the side just the way you liked it. You were a borrowed Angel baby.God had better plans for your life.You have touched the lives of so many people. You forever changed the lives of four people and their families. You gave them the greatest gift ever. I am so proud to be your Mom. You are always with me. I love you son.
