This year, on Ronan’s birthday, I’ll be in Philadelphia attending the Era’s tour thanks to Taylor Swift. This day is usually difficult for me, but I’ve found that giving back in some way brings me comfort. As a part of this effort, we’ll be making a donation to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and I’ll share more information about this soon.

On this day, let us be compassionate, spicy, brave, sparkly, adventurous, and thankful for all that we have. Let us embrace our wild and free spirits, and perform a random act of kindness to brighten someone’s day. Hug with all your might, kiss with all your heart, and laugh out loud. Let your inner rebel shine through and indulge in some candy. Play outside, get muddy, jump in the puddles, and lose yourself in the beauty of nature, music, and books.

Remember to apologize when needed and never stop following your heart or chasing your dreams. Let’s make this day a celebration of love and kindness. Let’s come together to celebrate Ronan’s Day of Love on May 12th, a special day in honor of what would have been his sixteenth birthday. Let us celebrate the life of a little boy who should still be with us today.
