Carston’s 5th birthday
This was a day to celebrate our beautiful boy. It would have been his 5th birthday. However, there were no presents, no candles, no happy birthday’s, no sweet little giggles, or mommy, “look this is exactly what I wanted”……. instead It was a sad day that made us painfully aware of your absence.
There are so many memories in which we have all felt so blessed to have known you Carston. In your honor, we planted a beautiful, Southern Live Oak tree at Turtle park today. Many friends and family came to see your tree and help celebrate the blessing of your life. The park is where we made many memories and a place you always wanted to go. The tree is planted next to the playground which will be surrounded by so many kids. It just seemed to be the perfect spot for it to grow strong and tall. It’s a place that will have many visitors, and a way to keep your name memorialized for us and many who didn’t have the pleasure to know you. I feel so privileged to have been your mom, but our time together was cut way to short.
Carston we all miss you so much and will always love you and you will live forever in our hearts!
Love,
Mommy
