Dear Joshua,
What a fine young man you are. I would like to thank you for your visits to Daniel. You and Daniel are an inspiration to all that know you guys. Your compassion, understanding and love are so greatly appreciated. I believe that I told you what Daniel had whispered to me when he saw you there. Thank you for your visits, your prayers and hopes. May God always keep you in his loving embrace. Thank you Joshua, Love Iva

Dear Joshua,
What a wonderful human being you are. You were one of the first of many friends to visit Daniel in the hospital. Your compassion, understanding and love was felt by me and Daniel. I believe that I have told you what Daniel whispered when he first saw you walk into his room in Fresno. You and Daniel are an inspiration to all that know you guys. May God always be with you and keep you in his loving embrace. Thank you for visiting Daniel and for being there for him. Love Iva

Josh,
We are so PROUD OF YOU!!!You have come so far..I admire YOU for your strength and everything that you have overcome..Never lose sight of everything that you have accomplished, you have made such an improvement in these last few months..God has most definetely answered many prayers throughout this time but I truly believe he has rested his hand on your shoulder giving you the strength to overcome so many obstacles..Know that Faith, Love and Family are three things that everyone should hold dear to their hearts, and you have been blessed with all three..I really feel if I didnt have these three things in my life I would definetely be lost..I know it may sometimes seem as if life has a way of creating these awful road blocks but somehow, someway these road blocks end up being building blocks in our lives...Stay strong kiddo, always keep your head up, and know that whatever you wish for is never far away..Never forget how special you are to ALL of us and that we love you so much..
Lots of Hugs & Kisses,

Joshua,
I don't even know where to begin. 60 days have passed and with each passing day our family has recieved blessings. You are an amazing person who as come soooo far in their therapy. It is really something to admire. I have some mixed feelings though, I am excited for you to be returning home and in the same breath I am saddened to know that you will not be here to have lunch with everyday. I want you to know that I am so happy that I have been blessed with the time we have had together. You are my brother by chance, but my friend by choice. I would have never wished for the circumstances which we became friends, you know that I would have traded places with you any day. However, we must remember that everything happens for a reason. And for whatever reason God has blessed you with a second chance. Know now that you can achieve ANYTHING you want. Know that you have the support of family, we will always be here-through thick and thin. And like I have said a thousand times before if you ever need anything, any time of the day you can just call me. I love you.

Your Sis,
Jenn

Hilmar, Ca USA - Tuesday, January 25, 2005 at 15:43:08 (EST)

Hey Josh,
I thought this was something you would like to hear or maybe something you could think about if you are having a hard day.....When my mom was a teenager her sister was in a very bad car accident from which she suffered major head trauma. (Much like your injuries) She was in comas and couldn't even talk when she came out of it. A few weeks back when my mom saw your first pictures on the website she was so amazed at how good you looked. Seeing as she had previously experienced something like this and has seen someone not looking too good at your stage in recovery I valued her opnion a little more than others. She was telling me that you looked sooo healthy and so much better than her sister at the same stage in her recovery. You have actually already came further than her sister did or ever will. She will never be the same person again. That being said its so nice to hear that you realize how lucky you are and that God has given you another chance to still acheive everything you had ever planned for your future. Not everyone is that lucky. So I love to hear that you are so determined to get all you muscles strengthened and are thinking of and looking for things that could help you out. You have such a great attitude that I know you are going to be one of those people who goes beyond what anyone thought could be possible after such an injury. Keep up the hard work and remeber that you are so lucky and have acheived so much already. God Bless.

Hey Josh! I miss you. It's so incrediable to see how much you've improved since the accident. I'm so very proud of you. You're doing awesome babe. I know that God is going to do amazing things through you and in your life. Now you have a awesome story to tell. Pslam 34: 19-20 is a awesome scripture you might like... "A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord DELIVERS him from them ALL; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken." :) So I know God's restoring you, but from now on your wearing a helmet, at ALL times :) Everyone sure misses you, and we can not wait for you to come home... and have some more good times. Give me a call sometime soon, I can't wait to give you a big hug!:) Love you babe. God Bless!xoxo Love, Summer

Dear Meneses Family,

As I visit your site to get updates on Josh, I am touched by your families strength and the outpore of love from family, friends, and well wishers. Our family four years ago with the birth of our daughter had our faith tested when our daughters well being was in question. We were surrounded by doctors with awfull prognosis and felt like our world had been shattered. It was our family and friends and the prayers from the community that got us through our difficult time. My daughter has over come many obsticles and has proven her doctors wrong when they said she wouldn't walk or talk. We find ourselves very blessed for our beautiful daughter Faith and we take one day at a time. Josh seems like an amazing young man who also, will amaze doctors with his recover. Keep the faith and we will continue to keep Josh and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

Hey Josh,
It was nice having dinner with you and your family in your home again, but don't get too used to your Tio Victor taking the meat out of the crab for you...lol j/k.
Well on a more serious note, when I went to visit I took notice of what wonderful spirits you and your family are in, and how blessed you are to have them. I also noticed your determination in getting that arm into working gear. You have achieved so much since day 1, and I know you can do it. Keep up the good attitude and persistence. Remember, though God may not be visible, he is with you in the people that care for you, and in your heart.

You have truly blown me away with your positive attitude and drive to getting better each and every day. Way to go!!!! I'm sure it's been a blessing to have your family's love and support also.

Hey Josh its your sister. I thought I would finally sign on here and leave you a note. I just wanted to tell you that you are an amazing person and an example to all of dedication and persistence. I know that there is a reason for everything and this is all part of something bigger than us, bigger than anything we could ever imagine. I have been blessed over the past couple of weeks during your recovery to spend more time with you then we have over the last year. I thank God that you are here with us to make us laugh and smile. I am even more grateful for the amazing relationship that we have developed during your recovery. I would of course preferred that we not be in the situation that we are, however, I am sooo glad that something so wonderful has come of it. I finally have the relationship with you, my brother, that I have longed for for so long. You are an wonderful person who I still see as the cute, little guy following me and my teammates around at all of the tournaments we traveled to. I can't wait to see you playing again. Keep up the good work. God will continue to bless you and us. And before you know it we will all be celebrating your homecoming. I love you. Your Sis, Jenn

Meneses Family

I have been praying for your family & asking others for prayers ever since Michelle told me what happen. Althugh I am sure this seems impossible remember God does not give you anything you can not handle. After his recovery this will seem like a big blur. You will make new & better memories.

Hey, Josh, it's Vin and Steve's mom, what is it you kids always call me 'P'. I wanted you to know how much I have been thinking about you and praying for you. On Thanksgiving Day I was given a prayer bracelet as a gift from my aunt. I put in a prayer for my family and put it on that very day. I was wearing it when we went to the football game on Friday. I even held it and said a little prayer as you and Vin climbed into the truck and took off to the desert that afternoon. Made me so nervous that I wasn't going out there with all you kids this time. When Vin called me at 6:30 Sunday morning, we were devasted, just as everyone was. I added another prayer for you to my prayer box and was praying rosary after rosary for you for days. My prayer for you remains in my prayer box and not one day has passed that I do not pray for your continued recovery. Each day that I called your mom's cell phone and heard the miraculous progress you were making, I knew God was answering all our prayers. You are such a blessing and a miracle. My boys miss you so very much, they love you dearly. Vin had faith all along that you were going to come out fine, and that God had bigger plans for you in this life. You are such a shining miracle to us, and watching you recover with the incredible love and support of your wonderful family has been such an inspiration. We cannot wait for you to make a full recovery, and be running around this house again with the boys. I can't wait to wake up on a Saturday morning and have to step over you and the other six boys that are snoozing all over my carpet and couches. Have a Happy New Year, Sweetie. Love, 'P'

Hey dude, glad to hear you are doing better, we miss seeing you come to work late. Heidi says she needs you to come help clean up the racking barn for her. Kindra made out your last check that you didn't get yet, but Bobby say's to bad we used it today for pizza. (ha ha). Eric wants you to hurry and get back to work so he can give you a hard time. We took a picture so you can remember who we are, apparently you are forgetting some things these days. We wil send it to your email address. Be sure to look at it everyday and wave back to us. Be strong your one tough dude, we know that in no time you will be back helping us at the farm show again. Lots of Love and prayers. Bobby, Kindra, Sami, Eric, Heidi, Barb, Lindsay

Josh,

I first read this poem when I was in the 5th or 6th grade. Since then, everytime I have needed a little help to persevere this has been my weapon of choice. Hopefully it will prove to be a positive tool for you.

I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.

D.H. Lawrence

Keep working hard, and you will be home in know time.

hey Josh,
i went up to Fresno to go and see you on the 26th and i have to say "you lookin' real good cuz!!" (lol) It was really funny watching you eat the crab my dad made for you i could tell by the look on your face that you really liked it and i'm sure everybody else can tell too since you took a great picture with the bowl of crab.(oh and by the way i didn't eat or touch any of your crab!) And i have to say that you get funnier and funnier everyday !! The things you said on sunday are still making me laugh today (wednesday). LIKE....the conversations you had with bobby, yeah those were real funny.
Well.....i think that's it so to finish this i want to say "i have faith in you, i know that if you really try hard and give it all you got you'll do really good!" "I LUV YOU JOSH!" "hope 2 see you soon!

I went to see you on Sunday. You absolutely blew me away with your high spirits and your silly joking around. I especially like the story you tell about your leg waking up and working. I could tell you liked that crab too, with all the m m m m m ming you did! Josh, keep those spirits up, and keep up the good work.
I pray for you everyday, and your progress is continuously on my mind.God Bless you and your family.

We've had lots of snow over here in England, the first White Christmas in years; and to make it all the more special the BBC are screening 'The Patriot' as their Christmas Movie - you know how much I love that movie!!!

Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile,
and finds in your presence, that life is worth while.
So when you are lonely, remember it's true
Somebody, somewhere is thinking of you.

Hey there Josh,

You probably remember me as the mean girl who stole your Christmas gift at the Ag Source party last year... but hey no hard feelings, I hope. Hurry up and get well so I can make it up to you. This year I'll share. :)

I just wanted you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you constantly. So GET WELL ~ GET UP ~ and GET BACK TO IT !!!!

Josh,
It is hard to believe that things can change in life so fast. Eric told me a few weeks ago about your accident. I read about how you are doing on the web site and it sounds great. Since I left Ag Source, I don't get much of a chance to see you guys any more, that sucks. Hey I hope you feel better & better every day. Thanks to your friends and family for this web site, it's great to have that kind of love & support. Take care.

hey Josh,
i just heard about your web site yesterday and I wanted to say hi since i haven't had a chance to come see you. I wanted you to know that my family and i are thinking of you and your family. You've been such a good friend over the years and coming back to Tulare hasn't been nearly as fun with you gone. Get well soon and take care of yourself. See you soon. Drew

Josh,
Your picture takes me back to that cute little boy we enjoyed at all the soccer functions, etc. Your beautiful smile and your respectfulness was so pure and appreciated. You are now a handsome young man and having to deal with a horrific trauma but I have no doubt you will fully recover and and have to fight off all the girls.
You are so blessed to have a wonderful family that will see you through every step of your healing process. Your Mom and Dad are beautiful people with hearts of gold as well as your sister (We're here for you Jen) and brothers.
Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. Please know that if there is ANYTHING at all we can do for you we are here for you, anything at all.

God Bless you Joshua & Meneses Family

Love,
Steve and Sheila Nelson

Josh and family,
We were devastated to learn of Josh's accident. We just found out Thursday, after talking to Carlos down the street. I stopped in to see Blake, and let him know that he can come over any time if he needs anything. (I also took him a plate of brownies). Our thoughts and prayers are with you all! God bless you and give you strength.

Hey Josh

Have only just found this website, and it has been a godsend. It is so strange being so far away when something so tragic happens, but your recovery has been truly awe-inspiring.

England is fully behind you on this one Josh, (despite your soccer team dumping us out of Euro 2004 this summer) - your still a great guy, and were an awesome neighbour. I hope to see you in the Summer when I come over to visit, it would'nt be the same without you.

Merry Christmas Josh - hope to see you soon

Madrinha, Padrinho & Cousins
Just a small note sending you LOTS of "Love" and "Prayer"..You are always on our minds, everyday we pray for all of you to have the strength you need to endure everything that comes your way. The road to recovery may seem difficult at times, but know that after the rain there is always sunshine...
Stay stong Josh you have made such a huge improvement in such a short time. It truly is unreal, can you believe you've had "ME" speechless..Do you know how long O.J and Tio Olavo have waited for me to be speechless?!? Bobby almost had them convinced to do to me what he did to Precious.. :}
On a serious note I have been in the medical field for awhile and I will be the first to say..
"I know MIRACLES do occur although sometimes it dosent seem like it is often enough..As bad as this may sound I think I may have taken for granted the times I have seen a miracle happen until it happened within my family.."
What an eye opener..I am so greatful that our families faith, love and power of prayer is so strong because I believe it is an essential part of the healing process and it has contributed to the Miracle of having you with us Josh..
Just remember you are so loved and we can't wait till your all home..Missin you all lots..
Love Always, Michelle, Tony, Tio Olavo, O.J, and Lorie

I miss you so much buddy, not a day goes by that I don't sit down and ask God to get you back to good ol' Jew-osh again. Don't worry buddy, God brought you back out there in the desert for a reason, he's got a big plan for you, and no matter how long it takes, I know that you're coming back the same as you always were. You have to, because the Boys won't be the same without you. My thoughts, prayers, and love are with you every second of the day. I love you buddy. See you soon.

Josh (Cocoon),
I have so many memories with you that go as far back as to the good ol' Oak Valley days, and you have always been a great person. I heard news about you from Eric that night and I never slept..I just stayed up and prayed the whole night. I'd never been so worried. God and all his angels have surely been taking extra care of you. And I know that you have a Guardian Angel that's meant just to watch over you...that favors you very much because what you survived through is a true *miracle*. We all miss you at home very much; it's not the same w/o you. I don't know if you even realize how many people love you, but it's so wonderful that your brother created this site so now you'll know just how many of us care. You always know how to make me laugh and put me in a better mood in times when I am feeling down. I went to see you this past Saturday, and I was so happy to see you breathing on your own and hear the news that you're on your way to a full recovery! Can't wait to see you back at home. You are always in my thoughts and prayers..as well as my mom and sister. Stay strong!! :)

Josh
In Luke Chapter 5 17-26 .. it talks about how one day when Jesus was out teaching to a crowd of people some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a stretcher... unable to reach Jesus. Eventually these men just holding this man pushing through this huge crowd was spotted and Jesus was like Hey! you know.. come here with him..He told the men "As for you, your sins are forgiven" See.. the men were feeling that this man will NEVER be healed from is paralyzation and Jesus knew exactly what they were thinking and he was just like listen.. I know what you're thinking about this man and that he's not gonna make it and I just want you to know that you are forgiven.. Jesus looked over at the man on the stretcher and said "Rise and walk". The man on the stretcher immediately got up, grabbed his own stretcher and walked off in amazement...
This passage just reminds me of you because You have overcome anyone's doubt for your recovery. You have proved to everyone one of God's amazing healing ministries. We are all still praying for you Josh.. Stay strong

A request for prayer for you and your family was sent to me by a junior at Tulare West. She and her family have recently gone through a similar experience. God worked a miracle in them as He is in you. There are people praying for you night and day. As the Lord knits you back together may you use every day of your new life to praise Him.

Good health and life are very fragile. When such a tragic accident happens to someone as young and full of life as Joshua, it truely brings to light just how precious the moments of each day are.

Joshua, with the strength and courage of your loved ones to lean on and your youth and zest for life, it is my prayer that the struggle of each day brings you closer to a full recovery. That which does not break us makes us stronger. May the strength of family love and unity grow with each step of your recovery.

To the Meneses Family...If there is anything we can do to help please let us know.

I know that God will help you through this and if you need anything along the way you know I'm here for you man. Ill be coming back to visit you soon. Me, my family and friends will continue keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Joshua, we are so glad you are improving, and we know you will be come home soon. It feels like it was only 2 days ago we were holding you as father Minhoto poured the baptismal waters over you little head. At that time you received the Holy Spirit and the Grace of God. Not no long after that we were there to see you receive The Body and Blood of Jesus Christ on the day of your First Communion, and, only a few months ago you were once more blessed by doing your Confirmation and receiving all the blessings of the Holy Spirit. So, you see, Joshua, God has been with you since you were a little baby. But not only, God, also, all those around you that made all these events possible. You were neneve alone, even on those moments you felt alone, God was always with you. I hope as you recover you will have some quiet time to listen to God's voice and hear what has to tell you. I am sure the first thing He will say is "I Love You Joshua". Orlanda...I thought about you as I was reading this note in church:Believing vs. understanding: When Gabriel told Mary that she would give birth to the Son of God, she didn't understand. But instead of doubting, she simply said: be it done to me according to our word(luke1:38) Mary knew that we don't have to understand to believe that God can do what we cannot even imagine. Stay strong. We love your all. Love, Sao.

It is fantastic to hear that you are on the road to a full recovery. I have not had a day that has gone by since your accident that I have not shed a few tears. At first I was afraid of what might have happened but now they are tears of joy whenever I hear or now read (thank you Bobby) about your continued progress. It is times like these that we realize how precious life and friends truly are. When I think back I remember two little boys on an eight-year old baseball team that scored the winning run for the championship. You and Kevin have been friends for a very long time, and I just want you to know that ALL of our family has been praying for you and YOUR family through this whole ordeal. We continue to pray for your speedy recovery and look forward to you coming home asap. And, yes I do believe that whenever people gather in His name, God hears and answers. Miracles can and do happen when you truly believe.
Love,
Marie Mattos

Josh,
Times like these we realize that there is not much that we can do but wait and pray. It was while I was thinking and praying for you that I came up with this poem.
Prayers For Joshua
Prayers...
They come from near and far
Just to show how special you are
We all must wait
As you live out your fate
It is through faith and hope
That we all are able to cope
As we wait for you to wake from your sleep
We think of all the words we didn't speak
You are teaching us to slow our pace
Teaching us to breath, that life is not a race
It is during this time that we feel the stregnth of love,
It is now that we must bow our heads just to look up above,
The Lord is near, the Lord knows our pain
He will send us a rainbow, after the rain
We find the paitence untill we see that smile again
Untill you can tell us how it was and where you've been
We think of just how much a prayer can do
It's easy when it's said on the behalf of you
This chain of prayers started with one link
It has multiplied larger than anyone would think
Prayers..
They come from near and far
Just to show how special you are.

god bless,
Melanie

Joshua,
I know this is going to totally sound corny and all emotional, but I want you to know that this is really from the bottom of my heart and every word has a true meaning.
You never really and truly know how much someone is a part of your life until that part of you is threatened. When I woke up on Sunday morning (11/28/04) to the news that you were seriously injured, just as all of us heard, it was like someone tore out a piece of my heart. Even though we weren’t the closest, you are still family, and family stick together in good times and especially in bad.
And even though I came back to school, just as everyone else must still continue with there life, no matter how hard it was knowing we couldn’t do anything but wait and pray, I know that all the tears and praying were worth it. God has seen the strength of our family and friends, and have answered are prayers, by letting you back into our lives.
And what I think hurts the most is that us cousin’s went out the night of your accident, and we were laughing and having a good time, but you were missing. Who was to know that Thanksgiving might have been the last time I could see you? And did we really get to talk? When accidents like this happen, we really think about all the missed opportunities to really talk and have a meaningful conversation with those we love. But that is human nature, we take for grant what we have, and we think we aren’t as fragile as we really are.
We all make decisions in life that could make or break us, and they all have consequences, be it positive or negative, but the truth is that you are just to young to make some of those decisions. No one can judge you for those decisions, but we just hope you learn from them and don’t make them again, because you had to learn the hard way. And even though it is you lesson to learn, we all learned it with you.
I want you to know that we all love you, and you have many friends that care for you and are waiting for your full recovery. It is amazing how many people can come together in a time of need.
I love you and miss you bunches, I hope to see you as soon as possible,
Your cousin,
Jessica

" There are many changes that a human being goes through in the short span of time in which we are on this planet. We see heartache, pain, and frustration. We also see happiness and all other form of emotions that are designed to lift us up.
Some people always want the emotions that lift us up, to be on a high for their whole life. But you cannot have life without the low, low and high go hand in hand; they never walk alone.
The one thing we can do to help the low is to be there and walk hand in hand with the person experiencing that low; two steps in front of them, to clear the way, but at the same time one step behind, to catch them if they fall."

Josh,
Where do I begin..July 24th...19 years ago I received a birthday gift that could never be replaced..You are a very special part of our family, our lives.. I have always held my cousins dear to me most all of us share relationships much like siblings..Each one of us holds a special link to a strong chain..Our parents raised all of us up so close together, and I believe this was all for a special reason..The bonds and the closeness that we all share is something so precious... We as a family have had our share of tough and trying times but with prayer we were able to endure and lean upon eachother for the strength we needed to get through it..These times only brought all of US even closer together..Having the opportunity to see you on Wednesday 12/01/04 and being able to hear that Doctor's are hopeful for a full recovery gave me a sense of relief..Although in the back of my head I knew with all things its going to take time but in my heart I knew everything was going to be okay..Throughout this week all I prayed for was for God to rest his hand on your shoulder and give you strength to come back to us and that he would help all of us to be strong for you..Josh there was a rosary on Monday 11/30/04 at St. Al's for you and it was then that I realized not only are you loved by all of your family but many friends also..I am so greatful for all of these people and their faith in God and prayer..Joshua, you are in our thoughts and prayers always..We Love You!!

Heyyyy there Shorty =P

Well I can't explain how happy I was to hear the good news about you being able to have a full recovery. When I went into your room to visit you, I was literally this [] close to jumping on the bed to give you a hug... but I was authorized not to do so..(you got lucky :)..)

Sooo I settled for holding your hand instead. Yea, I think it was the first times since we were wee lil youngins that we did that, if ever.

But, I was greatful for being given the chance to be that close to you again. While I was holding your hand, in my head I was telling God how much I loved you, praying my heart out that you would soon be okay.. and it was then you squeezed my hand, bent your elbow and held my hand up.. all that could come out of my mouth was.."Oh my God...look!" lol I almost peed my pants =|..Buuuut I couldn't because I had cried too dang much =P My sister and your mom (Tia Orlanda) got a good laugh out of it, I'm sure..

I'm a bit ashamed to say that I never took the power of prayer as seriously as I have since our family heard the news about your accident and the condition you were in. It was also a bit hard for me to believe that prayers were actually heard and answered. But now I know that the power of prayer is great, and with enough faith and love anything can happen. The trials that our family has gone through is living proof of that.

Since I decided to type an essay up here, I'm going to stop. I miss and love you so much Josh... Come home soon <3

Love Always.
Shorty :)

I knew the only thing I could do to help was pray for you, so that's what I did and what I will continue to do until you are healthy again. Its such a relief to hear of your improvment each day. May God continue to watch over you and your family.
