Son you spent a fortune on candles.... and had me spend a fortune on candles. You always loved them. This one will burn forever for you. I love you so much and I miss my Big Guy. But everyday I feel that hug you gave me and that smile is forever in my sight. The light from this candle will never burn out, just like the light your smile put into all our lives....See you later Son.
