The 4th of July has always been about family.
It’s about backyard BBQs, laughter echoing through the yard, kids running barefoot through the grass, fireworks lighting up the night sky, and making memories with the people we love most.
And that’s exactly why it can hurt so much.
We know this holiday isn’t about grief. We know it’s meant to be a celebration. But when someone you love is missing, every holiday becomes a reminder of the empty chair, the voice you long to hear, and the memories that will never be made.
While everyone else is counting down to the fireworks, many of us are counting the years, the holidays, and all the moments we’ve had to live without the people we love most.
So today, while the sky is filled with bursts of red, white, and blue, my heart will be quietly looking toward Heaven.
I’ll imagine you somewhere beyond the stars, and I’ll send every firework, every sparkle, and every whispered, “I love you,” your way.
Because even though this isn’t what the holiday is about…
Missing you will always be part of mine.
Sending sparkles of love to Heaven this 4th of July. ✨
Forever loved. ♥️
Forever missed. ❤️🩹
Forever woven into every holiday. ♥️🫶🏻💙
