Today would have been Drew's 13th Birthday. He would've been a teenager and I can't believe it. These last few months have been hard, especially the holidays, but today is a different kind of hard. We always celebrated Drew's birthday big. Big party. Big balloons. Big cake. So to honor his birthday I wanted to do something special, especially since I knew I wouldn't be with my family today.
I knew I wanted to make 13 of something and send them to families who love and were inspired by Drew. I got really upset a few times when trying to think of an idea because nothing I was coming up with seemed "good enough". Then when I got the idea to make candles, I cried. I love burning candles and my collection is excessive. But more importantly, Drew's favorite part about anyone's birthday, especially his own, was blowing out the candles. So sending everyone a homemade candle to light in honor of Drew's birthday or whenever they're thinking of him was perfect. I know he would have loved it.
Happy Birthday, in heaven, Sweet Angel! We're all blowing out your candles with you in our hearts. I hope you're celebrating by running, jumping, dancing, belly-laughing and playing with the hose! I miss you terribly! XOXO
