All the pain this life brought, all the struggle and hardship. You still managed to find joy. I now live by that virtue. You felt and understood beyond any human being I have ever known. Challenged me in ways unprecedented. You have absolutely blessed my life beyond measure. One year it’s been…through all the tears, and heartbreak, I have finally had the most profound revelation on my journey. To live!!! Live harder than ever, for the both of us. To appreciate and honor your life by waking every single day and smiling at the sky. Choosing to live in the light of all you gave me and the beauty of your life. I will always, and you will forever be missed, valued, loved, and appreciated my son.

You are free my beautiful blue eyed boy. You soar so high. You deserve peace. You deserve to be acknowledged in every single beautiful moment. You are in everything. The tree limbs still carry your words in the wind, your presence in the warmth of the sun, the beauty in each sunrise/sunset, and in the butterflies dancing. You will always be the most treasured and precious gift. I love you Dev! ❤️🔥🦅
