I& #39;m not sure where to begin, or what I would say if I could speak to you in person. But @Ashton5SOS you are so very loved. You are a marvel. A bright light to so many people& #39;s darkness. You inspire people every day, probably without even knowing the half of it.

It& #39;s hard to fathom, how one of the most important person in someone& #39;s life can be a stranger. But you& #39;re an actual hero around here. Watching video of you, talking, singing & drumming, has so deeply inspired my girl. She wants to be JUST like @Ashton5SOS when she grows up..

She carries her little drumsticks everywhere. She draws tattoos on her arms "just like Dashin" at least once a week now. She will sit and be patient, for little else. She is a tornado, but you ground her. Without even knowing it. And it& #39;s genuinely magic to witness.

Thank you for your dedication to your craft. For your passion for, not only what you do, but why you do it. You said once that you hoped your music would touch generations one day. And it already has. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz"> She loves you and your best friends more than anything.

I have a feeling you won& #39;t even see this. But on the off chance you do, here is a thread of JUST how much she wants to be JUST like you when she grows up. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💖" title="Funkelndes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Funkelndes Herz">
Taking these photos is one of her favourite things to do. https://twitter.com/littlest5sosfan/status/1274060803868487680?s=19">https://twitter.com/littlest5...

I& #39;m so proud of you and everything you continue growing to be. You& #39;ve overcome so much in your, still very young, life. And I can& #39;t wait to see what the coming years bring you. You inspire me to be a better version of myself, every day. Thank you for being genuinely you, always.

In our house, we have cake (or brownies) for breakfast on birthdays. So I made brownies this morning. Here& #39;s a message from Cookie https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💕" title="Zwei Herzen" aria-label="Emoji: Zwei Herzen"> @Ashton5SOS

Happy 26th Birthday, Ashton Irwin. You& #39;re one of the best people I& #39;ve ever witnessed. I hope you have an amazing day, doing the things you love the most. The world doesn& #39;t deserve you, but we would definitely be lost without you. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="❤️" title="Rotes Herz" aria-label="Emoji: Rotes Herz"> https://twitter.com/Ashton5SOS/status/353725470912692225?s=19">https://twitter.com/Ashton5SO...
