Today…a little good news…news that, hopefully, makes you glad…
even though this good news…originated from the bad.
This story begins five years ago…it takes its initial breath inside a women’s sadness…grieving her son’s death.
Move ahead five years…her son’s birthday is today…
and her grief resurfaces as it always does…for it will never go away.
She wanted a way to deal with her grief…in the best way that she could…
Hoping from her sadness…she could create something good.
She thought and thought searching for an idea…and when her thinking was done…
She decided to find a way to give…to another mother and her son.
Move now to a mother picking up her son’s birthday cake…tears of joy and sorrow she cried when she opened up the cake box and read the note inside.
It was from the mother of the son who died…Tyler was his name…written to the mother of the son who lives…whose birthdays are the same.
She paid for the cake in honor of her son…to keep his memory bright…
The note said…enjoy the day…make special memories and hug your children and loved ones tight.
She chose this way to commemorate her son..to help keep his memory awake…
Because as a mother she loved birthdays…while her son loved birthday cakes.
The words were written lovingly…they were compassionate and kind…
Love, Toni, Tylers mom…is how the note was signed
I like to think it was the best birthday…and best birthday cake…that family ever had
As one woman found a way for something good…
to come out of something bad.
