Happy Birthday, My Angel Boy!~

Jeremy Scott "Scottie Boy" Johnson May 3, 1976-June 18, 1999

Baby brother, today is what should be your 32nd birthday.  I miss you as much today as on the day we lost you, June 18, 1999, when you decided life was too painful to go on.  I write about you from time to time in your very own journal.  Your story needs to be told.  I tell it here:

Perhaps, your story will deter others from making the choices you made.  If I can save one person from making the choices you made, then perhaps your death will not have been in vain and perhaps I can save another family the grief we have to deal with.

I choose to celebrate your life today and remember the good times we had.  I hope the angels are throwing you one heck of a birthday bash.  I will always love you and there will always be a big black hole in my life until we meet again.

Love you forever and always,

Susan

Someday that big black hole will be filled when you see him again in heaven. I have a  big black hole for someone too.

I truly believe he knows he's missed and he's smiling down on you now with a smile. Your heart will always miss him, simply because you loved him. Happy Birthdays to a special soul who's sister I've come to call friend. (Hugs) Indigo

what a handsome young man he was. I can't imagine the pain of losing a sibling; my brother and I are very close. I gather from your beautiful tribute, you guys were very close, too.

Hugs and prayers for you my friend

OH Susan...I am so sorry to hear that. I didn't know you had a brother that passed :(  My prayers to you that your healing continues.  I lost two brothers so I know that it never quit goes away...you always miss them :(  But I hope it gets easier!
