Losing someone we care about is so hard for us and means different things to each person.
On Monday, October 26, I lost my friend and advocacy partner in crime, Joey Moss.
In celebrating you I remember…
Your genuine kindness and how you loved children.
The joy of sharing your family get togethers and figuring out which person belonged to which brother or sister. Wow, what a big, loud family!
Your enthusiasm on the dance floor. You always lasted longer than me.
You and Stephen coming to my house for ’Spaghetti dinners”. We has so many laughs.
Our trip to Clinton, Ontario as guest speakers for the “Dream Big” presentation. The Limo ride we had from Toronto to Clinton…we fell asleep while Mum and Barb drank wine. Some chaperones! We laughed so hard when we stopped in the limo to use the washroom at a McDonalds and people were so curious about who we were. We joked “no pictures”.
We felt good about our presentation but had tired hands from signing autographs for an hour. On the flight home the Pilot invited us into the cockpit. How cool! People were so kind to us wherever we went.
Being one of your guests when you were inducted into the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame.
The experience of my Mum almost losing you, “our National Treasure”, at the Chamber Ball one year. This is a story for another time!!!
In all of our adventures together we were able to leave others feeling warm, happy, and hopeful. We always felt proud of this.
Joey, I believe you will not have to worry about hearing aids and glasses in heaven… if you know what I mean!
Continue to dance and sing. Your star will shine bright every night!
Thank you for the memories we made along the way. I will look out and care for your family .
Be at peace, my friend.
Love, Tanya
That was so beautiful and it made me cry…
We know how free he is up in heaven …and that’s how one gets through these difficult times… Start to look now for the things that seem like coincidences or a little bit funny in your life or off a little bit… because those will be the moments he’s reaching down from heaven and touching your heart…
Such a beautiful tribute Tanya ❤️
