Joe bouncer, my hero. Life has never been the same, since you went away. Yes, I kept my promise. No one will ever love me or Jeremiah, mom and Deanne the way you did. I finally found someone who love's me, and he taught is no one is too good or too bad, so I've learned to forgive. I miss you every day. I cry every day. I bring you flowers every season and clean your headstone. Jeremiah and Mom are alone. I want my daddy. I want to cuddle with you. Hug you. French kiss you. Tickle you where your belly button used to be. I want to run buck naked thru the living room and see you shake your head. I want you to be proud of me. I bought a nice house and its mine. I would have brought you here and taken care of you and mom . God cured Jeremiah of cancer, I can't live without you or him. I talk to you every night, Joe Fisher. I miss you and love you more than you could ever fathom. Jolene
