I am Joseph's only daughter, I think. Besides my grandparents, I dont know if he ever had mentioned it, which is not his fault. I was never close to Joseph seeing that my mom separated from him when I was a baby. I had met him throughout the years growing up and at age 18 I asked him to cease all communication with me and he respected my wishes. Two weeks ago, I thought of maybe contacting him. Today as I was writing out my xmas cards and got to my grandparents card I decided I wanted to enclose a letter for Joseph letting him know he had two beautiful granddaughters ages 5 and 6, who look identical to me as a baby and child and although I would never let him meet them, I figured he could imagine them my closing his eyes. I happen to search his name on the internet, which I do once in awhile to find out of his wellness, but today was different, and it just happened last week. Not to my surprise I always knew that the internet would be the only way to find out of his passing. My condolences go out to his girlfriend and his friends. I always told myself that I would never shed a single tear but to the contradictory I felt so overwhelmed since I had not yet sent the letter or had any type of closure. Speaking with his father, he informed me that he did tell Joseph of his grandchildren, which I hope made him happy. I am sure that he made his peace with God and is in peace after all the years of his emotional suffering as a young boy to his physical suffering until he died. Joseph was never physically nor emotionally around as a father, how could he? I believe that he is looking down and watching over me and my family now. I never hated you dad, I was more scared and sad for you. I cant imagine all the suffering from rejection, including mine, you endured. I am so sorry. Goodbye Joseph.
