It’s been three months without you, son, and my heart continues to break.
I’ve always loved the ‘School Years ‘picture frame. This frame holds twelve 2.5″ x 3.5″ School-Year Photos, representing kindergarten to the eleventh grade. These pictures form a circle around an 8’ x 10″ Graduation Picture in the center of the frame.
I made sure to purchase every school picture of John through the years so I could hang a frame like that on my wall once he graduated High School.
For some reason, I never purchased the “School Years” picture frame. To this day, I don’t know why.
I did, however, make a Facebook post after John’s murder that was titled “John through the Years”. This post contained each picture of him from Kindergarten through his Senior year.
When my very sweet MJ friend, Jolanda Van Der Grift, saw my post, she surprised me by creating this beautiful video.
I’ll treasure it forever.
Here’s my John, through the years.
I miss you John.
