Today is a special day. My son’s birthday. I have to remember the good times. The happy times. That is what he would want. Really hard to push through losing him, but life is unfair at times.
I am left with 16 years of happy memories. Those are what I choose to hold onto. He would want me to smile and laugh. So that is what I will do today. Celebrate the time I had with him.
Now maybe some of you will understand why I always say to notice the little things in life, we are not promised tomorrow. Tell those you love how much they mean to you. Never take anyone or anything for granted.
Lighting this candle in honor of my son’s birthday. I will never stop celebrating.
Happy Birthday Dustin!

Please accept my wishes on his behalf. You are a great mom Carol. Stay this strong for ever.
Yes, yes, and yes, Carol. You are so strong. Happy birthday to that wonderful boy 😀
Happy Birthday Dustin and Carol. You make sure he will not be forgotten as it should be. Much love dear.
Thanks Kim, appreciate you my friend. Difficult days.
Life will never cease to exist as long as we think of it, Happy Birthday Dustin! ❤
Our ancestors used to celebrate the day of death as a new birth in the other realm. I never had such experience, but if it ever happens, I’ll follow that tradition, though it’s hard to not do the same on the birthday as well.
What a great perspective. Thank you so much for sharing this. I have saved it to use now and in the future.
Happy birthday to him and be happy to you!
Thank you for your words.
You are really strong, sympathy heard and kind to all. So nice of you
Your kindness is greatly appreciated.
You are a very strong person, dear Carol. You’ve been through the worst things in your life. Stay as you are.
How kind of you to say. I never knew how I would get through this nightmare but I am still here, a day at a time. Thank you.
Happy Birthday, Dustin.
I know you are hugging your beloved mother
but
Do you know that we also celebrate together in your mother’s heart?
Ah, it turns out you also know.
Such warm words I desperately needed today my friend. He is hugging my heart.
I feel his presence very strongly today.
Peace and happiness always, Carol. For Dustin, especially for yourself too.
You are too kind my friend, I really appreciate you.
You are such a wise and strong person, Carol! Your love is the best present!
Oh you are so kind my friend. Surviving is very difficult at best. I push on because I know he wants me to.
It’s nice to celebrate the birthday of your dear son …. be strong and smiling … thinks he’s nice there among angels
Your kindness is much appreciated. 🙂
And your kindness too … I wish you a nice weekend dear Carol
Thank you and the same to you.
Heaven is full of angels, Carol. Two of them are ours. Happy Birthday in Heaven, Dustin!
Yes you are so right my friend. You do understand and I am sorry you are part of this club.
We here on Virily are blowing horns, and shouting Happy Birthday to him. Maybe I should eat some cake lol too. He sees you today I really do believe.
Thank you my sweet friend. I believe he is all around me.
I’m sure its a special day!
He’ll be happy to know that you’re staying strong and positive!!
Yes, he would want you to be happy. Remember to smile!
Thank you my friend, it it the most difficult thing to do.
But I am a survivor and am still here to share his memory. 🙂
Yes, that’s why I said you’re a warrior!
March on!!
You are my biggest fan it seems, thank you.
Can I ask for an autograph? hehe
:p
Sure, that would be cool wouldn’t it. 🙂
