Remember this...his addiction didn't define his life and it wasn't his legacy. His legacy lives on in the love he shared for others and the passion he had for life. His legacy is shown in the way his friends speak about him. He was a good soul with a fault...just like you and me.
Even though you will be forever 44, I celebrate your 47th birthday along with other family members. It is so very hard to remain on this earth without you in my life. I continue to try and make you proud and remember all the wonderful memories we made together it doesn't repair my forever broken heart. I pray you look down on all of us and know how much you are loved and missed. Mom loves you to the moon.
You loved giving to others. Making last minute gifts for everyone. Last minute shopping sprees until you didn't have a dollar left in your pocket, always making sure everyone had something to open for Christmas. Mom loves you Todd Lewis and will try my hardest to remember the fun family times you would want me to. Loving you till the end of time.
Birthday cake in heaven for you. Your favorite, german chocolate. You would always want it and nothing else. Years of german chocolate cakes and loved making each and every one of them just for you. Maybe I will bake one in your memory, I will try. Miss you my german chocolate cake king, and thinking of you always.
What a wonderful son. Full of laughter and smiles. Always willing to help someone who needed something. Always looking at the bright side of life. Amazing what he could do with a piece of wood, he could make something beautiful out of it. Your absense here is unbearable for many of us and you are missed each and everyday. I am trying to just remember your sweet soul and your giving nature but I miss you, your voice, hugs, sillyness and your beautiful smile. Even in the most difficult times you could still smile at life. I miss you Todd Lewis Hanson and will honor your memory until I take my last breath. Mom
