Another year without you. But another year I get to visit, remember, and honor you. Iโve already written a letter to you that Iโve placed on your grave. The words there are only between the two of us, if your soul can reach down and see what Iโve written. If not, at least I take comfort in believing you can.
Slipknot has never been the same without you. But you are not just Slipknotโs drummer. Youโve been a joyous friend to others, a great son to your mother, a wonderful brother to your sisters, and an icon to many. Youโve touched the hearts of thousands, and left an impact for years and years to come.
The world is not the same without you. But youโre forever immortalized in song, pictures, and videos. As long as I live in this state, I will visit you every birthday and death day.
Thank you for everything Joey.
