Sean's Annual Birthday Tribute

 Aprill 11th 2024

we celebrate Sean's birthday with our annual I Love You Day Campaign.


Sean never hung up the phone or left the house without saying " I love you."

On April 11th, we want you to remind the world that it's important to let our loved ones know we care. 

Thank you to everyone who sent in messages and the names of their loved ones... We look forward to holding this space as a place to let your loved ones know you are thinking about them. These messages will be posted for one year on our website. Please feel free to email us if you want to add a message for your loved on to this page, its never too late to tell someone you care about them!

To my little brother Sean, 

I miss the hell out of you. You had the best smile; you gave awesome hugs and I really miss hearing you say I Love You the most. I wish I could call you and tell you about your nieces and nephews, I wish they could facetime with you again and drag the phone all over the house to show you all their things. I wish you could tell them to keep working hard in school and don't take shit from anyone ever. I wish the most that you were here so that I could just tell you to keep trying to stay sober and that I love you no matter what. I love you in active addiction, I love you while you were trying to drink your pain away, I love you when you are sober, and I love you no matter what. I want to tell you that I believe you, it really did happen, and I know that it really was that bad... I want to tell you that I'm sorry If I had any part in your addiction or pain. I am so sorry that you lost your battle so soon, it's just not fair - and I want you to know that SeansDream continues to help others in recovery in your name, so that your legacy can be one of hope for others. I pray your soul finds peace and I hope that you are watching over us all and telling us to eat more monte cristos, go fishing and go rescue a dog or five... I love you seanman, wish you were here. Happy Birthday from all of us. Until we meet again and hug bruiser for us.

This is for anyone in any kind of recovery, struggling with their mental health or feeling lost and alone. Reach out and know that you are worth it! I love each of you no matter what! -@hippienurse10

To my Uncle Joey (Jose Lopez) I luv u very much and I should tell u more bc watching you work ur ass off 7 days a week to provide the best life u could for us inspired me to never quit or give up! My hard work ethics comes from you and I’m proud to be your niece! My mom lost her battle with her addictions but she loved us so much especially her grand babies and watching her have a stronger finish in the end in her best last 4 years for her grand babies makes me so proud of her and may she rest in peace 🙏 Thank you for stepping up and loving a child that’s not yours as your own and titi is definitely smiling down on all of us may she rest in everlasting peace too ❤️ Deidre Despaigne

My name is Starr. I've been in Recovery almost 9 years. I lost my Mom to addiction in 2016, as well as Many countless others. I'll be recording my story and posting it on TT this Saturday, March 2, 2024. I will also be starting a Live on Monday's at 7pm to help others. I will focus on addiction, mental health, PTSD, SA , and many other topics. It is called 'Lend me an ear'. This is my way of trying to give back to those in need in Memory of my Mom, Joyce. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To all that are in any form of recovery, 

No matter how long or short you've been here, I wish it was only love that you'd hear. 

No matter how lonely, angry or sad, I wish you could see that help is so near. 

No matter how bad the pain is that you feel, I promise it's worth all the time to heal. 

This battle is worth all of the scars, and this is NO the time to put down your guard. 

Listen to the words you hear in your heart; your mind is no longer doing its part. 

Addiction is a monster that lives in your soul, it doesn't want you to live, learn or grow. 

Fear, anger, guilt and shame, they can't even hold a torch to this pain.

You don't want to be here; but can you remember how to get home?

I'll give you my strength- until yours can be grown. 

I know you are still in there; please don't give up.

Find hard work and honesty, and you won't need any luck. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To my younger self;


Don't listen to the lies that you tell yourself. Don't worry about what everyone else thinks of you, don't listen to the whispers because you know what is true. When you find yourself in the inevitable path that leads you down a road of pain, confusion, manipulation, lost love, and guilt... remember my words now... I promise all the hard work will be worth all the struggles, you will find your way through this darkness. You will keep the kids safe from harm, you will find yourself free from the hold that is around your neck every single day. keep fighting to get out of there and I promise you - the journey will be long and hard... but it is worth it. There is a beautiful life waiting for you. 


 I love you more than you know right now, if I could give you a huge hug I would. Love your older wiser self...
