Joshua - my best friend, my confidante, my guardian, my soul-mate ... what an honor and privilege to call him "my child" to be entrusted with his care. He was a blessing sent to me, to love and to cherish - God's gracious gift to me. For almost fourteen years he was a part of my life, the biggest part, the most important part - dear to my heart, too close to my soul. But now, the angels are the lucky ones, as they watch him romp in heaven's green pastures.

A Prayer to Joshua
May you always rest in peace,
may you always sing with the angels.
May you never go hungry,
may you never be lonely.
Always remember that I love you,
that I'll always miss you.
That I will always remember you,
that I'll always hold you in my heart.
Always remember that soul-mates are
forever and ever.
Amen.
Rest in peace, my sweet child.
