Pioneer Press - Twin Cities, In Memory of Joseph Yankovec I hide my tears when I say your name but the pain in my heart is still the same. Although I try to smile and try to seem care free, that blow was hard, the shock severe, the morning you left for heaven. Only those who have lost a child can understand the pain of parting without goodbyes. What would I give to hold your hand and touch your face and look into those twinkling eyes. Joseph, you were gone before I knew it and only God knows why. It's been 7 years since I heard you laugh. I miss you. I can't touch you but I can feel you everywhere every day. That knot in my stomach and the hole in my heart I have carried with me since you died. I cry alone. I don't want to share my sadness with anyone except today, Joseph. I love and miss you. Till we meet in heaven. I'm sending you love and kisses. Mom To My Family As I watch you all from above I try to let you know with signs that I am always with you. I hear you laughing and watch you when you're sleeping. I put my arms around you when you're sad. Dad do you feel me next to you when you're working on cars? I'm there. Mom, I am always by your side, do you feel me standing by you when you go downstairs or out in the garage? Mom, I'm there for you always. I drop those pennies for you so you know I'm with you always. Johnny I'm by your side when you are on that Harley. I'm with you on the boat up at the Lake of the Woods when you are fishing. I see that beautiful new grandson and how happy that he made you. "Papa" was so happy that they named him Nolan - "good Irish name," he said. So hear me now dear family. Hear me clear. Wipe away the tears and the sorrow for me because I am always near. Love, Joseph
