Happy 1st Birthday, our sweet baby Case. 🩵🦋
Today should look so different. We should be singing happy birthday while watching you and your classmates devour cupcakes, and cleaning up the messy high chairs afterward.
We wish so badly that you were here for this milestone. We wish we could keep watching you grow, keep learning more and more about who you are, and celebrate all of the big and little moments still ahead.
We are so lucky we got to love you for the months you were in our care.
Yesterday, so many people came together to remember you and celebrate your beautiful life. There was so much love for you, Case. We talked about all of the little things that made you, YOU. Your smile, your twinkly eyes, your personality, your love for art and your friends, all the things that made us laugh, and the memories we will hold onto forever.
Today we’re sharing some of our favorite pictures of our happy, silly, so deeply loved little boy, along with a few moments from the way we celebrated you yesterday.
Happy birthday, Case. You will always be part of our Village Academy family, and you will always be so incredibly loved and missed. 🩵
You’ll be in our hearts, and we’ll keep looking for you in the butterflies. 🦋
