We had exactly 3 years, 5 months and 1 day with you. It was November 29 that you took your last breath in my arms and by your daddy’s side. And this year, we are lucky enough to get an extra 29th to celebrate you and all that you gave us.

I won’t forget the time you gave me. You gave me strength when I felt weak, you gave me love when I was lost. You taught me how to get up when I’ve fallen, and how to love with your whole heart, the whole damn thing!

You loved so unconditionally, and never knew anything else. You could see in that smile how much every person meant to you. Your heart was the biggest and you were the bravest.

I struggle these days with sadness and fear. But then I look at your photos and it reminds to be happy and strong because that’s what you would want and that’s the person you were.

You faced many battles and you always came out on top. You knew just when I needed you and you were always there. These days without you are tough, but I’m learning to be strong for you.

I’ll never forget the days you gave me strength, love, and hope. The days you warmed my soul with your smile. The days that were brighter because of you. I will live for you. I will love for you.  I will be strong for you. I love you my son! To the moon and back, forever!
