Dustin's 24th Birthday
Dustin will be forever 16, but March 1st was his 24th birthday.
I try each year to figure out a way to remember that Dustin was a gift.
He is always in my heart, his love stays with me forever.
Sixteen years was never enough time to spend with my only child.
But in this life we don't always get what we want.
Somehow, we must continue searching for a way to be thankful for what we do have and continue moving forward, one step at a time.
No matter your circumstances, you can always find someone worse off than you.
I am very thankful for the 16 years I had with Dustin, and I will try to put on a smile to let him know how much I love him.
I will reach into my heart and find one of those happy memories I have tucked away that we shared and who knows, maybe even laugh a little.
I know he will be watching me from wherever he is and when he sees his Mom smiling, he will also have a smile.
I love you Dustin!!!!!!
