“The mention of my child’s
Name
May bring tears to my eyes,
But it never fails to bring
Music to my ears.
If you are really my friend,
Let me hear the beautiful
Music of his name.
It soothes my broken heart
And sings to my soul

One day when I was worried about Josh I woke him up early to tell him.....and he told me "Mom you watch to much TV"....he was right....I love my news shows...and to this day when I watch them and start to worry I think of him and his face when I woke him up to tell him I was worried about him sleeping to much......your face was so funny son.........
About me: Josh was born on September 18th 1984 in Fort Myers Florida. He was the first grandchild on both sides of the family. Beautiful baby with the softest tan skin, he was momma's first. He grew up on the water and loved to dive, snorkel, fish, and knee board and especially commerial fish. I had Josh at just 18 years old and he taught me what love was. Being a young mom I believe I needed him more than he needed me. He was an easy boy to raise. When his baby brother Meaty came he helped me while his dad was away...then as they grew he loved nothing more than to pick on him but also would tell me things about Meaty that made him proud. When Joe Joe came 4 months before he had to leave to heaven he would help me with him to carrying him in the heavy baby seat, making funny faces at him to keep him entertained. Josh loved his family. His papa and him many nights would go on the porch (age 2) and would put there hands up with the peace sign and say "Going to be there Papa"...little did we know that when it was Papa's time he would leave just before Josh's 18th birthday in heaven. Pop's left to prepare for the party on September 12th 2002. That day his dad told me "Papa gonna be there" His life was cut short and he left this Earth on April 8th 2000 at the age of 15. My heart breaks everyday for my son....he was my life...and I know I have to stay here to carry on without him...is it easy...NO...but Josh would want me to and he would want me to make the best of what I have had dealt. I know he watches over all us....he has left two brothers that are reminders of him...you can see a piece of him in both. This is a journey no parent should have to take...and until I see him again...my heart will not be whole again. I love you Joshua Lewis Darna....you are one of my greatest accomplishments.
When Josh was around 5 years old I swear he should have done hot dog commercials or bologna commercials cause he would have sold tons you where that cute....When Josh was in first grade he could read the best out of all his classmates it just amazed me truly....than as you grew it was awesome to watch Josh play ball, but still the cutest T-ball player :)....Josh always had his silly ways but in a nice way (at least around us adults) God only knows what you did when we weren't looking :)...when you moved back from North Carolina you where so tall and handsome...I know Michael misses you Josh sooo much as well as Travis, you guys where closer than brothers (they may not be able to put it in words but all of us know and I hope they don't mind that I did)...I wish I could get a glimps of all of you up in heaven...watch over Meaty, your Mom and family...we remember ALWAYS! from us the whole Pine Island crew!!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday Josh in heaven! When you where young I'd tell your Mom that you needed to do bologna commercials cause you would have sold a lot of them you where that darn cute :) and smart!!! Miss ya!!
