Colleen Byrne's Validation with her son DJ through Candice Purchase

Candice Purchase talked about a young man, in a colder climate who skied.  We live in NY where it can be quite cold and DJ snowboarded.  She shared that he was very funny and had a lot of friends.  DJ was the clown at home, at schools and with friends.  We have tons of photos and videos of him cracking jokes, singing songs and pulling pranks.  She also mentioned that he loved to make me gifts, which he did with boy scouts, but he would also leave me notes and sometimes even write on the walls/doors so I would know he was there (see photo, this is on my wall where my laptop sits).

She shared that he would tell me everything about his friends, which is what I miss most. He would come into my room in the evenings when I got home from work to chat about the "drama" or things going on with his friends.  He'd ask what he should do or say to help them out.  He was always taking care of his friends.  She said that he was very close to me - he would tell everyone I was his "ride or die", (a big sons of anarchy fan). I know he is with me always and loves to send me license plates and songs. My most recent license plate was DNB 1026, which is his initials and birthday. He's awesome. 

Thank you so much for all that you do and please send Candice my regards.
