Chapter 16

Sorry for taking so long!!

Joey

Before my daughter was born, my wife and I discussed a lot of names for the baby. At that time, we had no idea whether it was a boy or a girl. We thought of names like Sarah, Ashley and Brittany for girls and Kevin, Mike and Tucker for boys. But when she was born, that day happened to land on Becky Katsopolis's birthday. I told my wife we had to name her Becky. Claire did not ask questions. She knew what happened and she thought it was the right thing to do. As it turned out, Becky is a wonderful girl. And surprisingly, she doesn't look like either Claire or myself. She looks like Becky Katsopolis. She acts just like her too. Every night, when we pray for Becky, I always thank her for giving me such a beautiful child. I have a feeling she had something to do with her.

Life has gotten so different. I have been so much more successful in my career. I have a family and we all love each other. I thank Becky for all of that. She has blessed our family so much, words cannot describe. Aw man, thinking of the days back when Becky was alive. Gosh, brings back so many memories. Every time I think of her, I feel as if I could cry forever. But then I remember she is in a place where you can be happy and live carefree. When I go there, she will be the first person I will want to see. I loved Becky so much. I never told anyone this, but when Jesse and Becky were dating, I was so jealous. I had always wanted to have a serious relationship with Becky. Who knows...maybe if I had married her, maybe she wouldn't be dead. Weird to think, but you never know.

Jesse was so loyal to Becky, they had a beautiful relationship. Love is an amazing thing. And a priceless thing. I know Jesse will never be the same again. It's like half of him is missing. He pretty much gave up music when Becky died. Last night I heard him strumming his guitar and singing softly. He never wants to get married, even though I think he should. He needs a woman in his life and Nicky and Alex need a mom. They miss her too. It's very hard for them to remember. I think they want Jesse to get married again as well, but it is his dessision.

Becky, I hope you are well. I love you so much. I love you like a wife. Life isn't the same without you.
