Re: Remembering Joy

Luca
Thank you so much for posting this, about you, about Joy, and all you shared. I too remember when Joy wanted love in her life, but was so afraid, because of her illness, because of her Stage IV mets, because of her children....she had so much to give and yet was so afraid to put herself out there...how would she find the right person....I remeber telling her she might have to kiss a few frogs before she found her prince! But she did find her prince and it was you Luca!
You may not have had each other for a long time, but the time you spent together and the love you shared is timeless, and will last forever.
Please know that we are hear for you, Luca.

Red face Re: Remembering Joy

Damn you Luca,

The last time another man made me cry was when my Father, on his death bed, told me not to be sad, as he had gotten a lot of good years out of his now cancer-ridden and beat up body.

I think you just confirmed all of the wonderful feelings we had about the person Joy really was each day. God knows we will miss her. My heart breaks for you and the loss of your sweet Joy. Thank you for your tribute. You remain in our prayers.
