What Lynn and Tony said about AKA on his birthday

Speaking directly to her son, Lynn penned a message where she remembered his lively spirit, which always brought warmth to her heart.

Lynn shared the little things she remembers the most about AKA, which ranged from his laugh to his ideas, how he spent his spare time, and their lunch dates and more.

"We had so many moments. Highs and lows, but these days I choose to remember the highs. Your laugh that was more like a chuckle, our chats, and the way you’d get excited when you had a new idea. I think about the hugs, the teasing, the small everyday moments that made up our life together. Some part of you always remained a little boy," she wrote. "So many of those little things are missing from my days now," she added.

Lynn said she will always treasure their moments together and all of the things she got to learn about AKA.
