Our son, Dave, burst into the room, brimming with excitement about the party. His energy was contagious, and I couldn’t help but feel a little lighter. The day unfolded beautifully, filled with friends, family, laughter, and heartfelt moments. It seemed like the perfect birthday — until my phone buzzed.
