🕯️Today I light this candle in memory of Kyra on her heavenly 13th birthday. Holding her family especially close to my heart today🎗️
🎗️This holds deep meaning for me. Its name is “Hudson” — gifted to me years ago by a student when I was teaching kindergarten. One day, I noticed the name printed on the sticker affixed to the bottom: Hudson. A name that carries so much significance in our lives because it belongs to our joyful, adventurous, incredible friend who was taken by cancer nearly three years ago, just shy of his 13th birthday.
✨Tonight, I light this candle for Kyra, for Hudson, and for all of the sweet children we’ve lost to cancer. I promise to continue doing the work, sharing their stories, and fighting to honor their lives and memories✨
