🕊️ THIS FATHER’S DAY, WE HONOUR THE DADS WE MISS
Sometimes a story finds you, and for some reason, it stays with you.
A beautiful young woman married her person. 19 days later, he was tragically taken from her in a car accident.
Nineteen days after saying “I do”, she was planning her husband’s funeral.
He left behind two beautiful children. 💔
She recently shared the pain of facing another Father’s Day without him. The 15 birthdays he had missed - hers, their sons and their daughters. The first day of school. The football games. The milestones. And the moments he should have been there for, including the medical diagnosis of their daughter.
And now, she is approaching what would have been their 5 year wedding anniversary… followed just 19 days later by the anniversary of his passing.
Grief isn’t just missing someone. It’s grieving all the moments that should have been.
Her story hit me hard.
So I reached out. Not to sell a candle. Not for Luna Grace. Simply because my heart hurt for her.
I wanted to give her and her children something to light this Father’s Day - a little reminder that although his arms can no longer hold them, his love always will. ❤️🕊️
This weekend, we honour the dads, grandfathers, stepdads, father figures, and the dads who are no longer here.
You haven’t been forgotten. And neither has he. 🕊️❤️
Samantha Walkley - this is for you and your beautiful babies. Thinking of you 🕊️
