Imma need some whiskey glasses-in memorium

2026 was gonna be my year!

man plans, God laughs

On 1/1 I lost my most favoritest cousin ever, we were very close as kids, our grandparents had 42 grandchildren and he was #41 and I was #42 so since we were so close in age we palled around the mountains of KY together.

May his memory be forever remembered and commemorated every January 27th (his bday) as I raise a glass to Derek

I made a set for me and a set for one of our (many) cousins

My condolences to you and your family. I “liked” your post for the remembrance glasses you made. Definitely not for the reason they were made.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Beth. I think these glasses are an amazing way to remember him every year and any time in between that you want to feel a little closer to him.

I love his smile and I’m so sorry that it is no longer brightening up the world. Your glasses are a great way to honor his birthday every year and to keep his smile shining bright.

Ah, sis, I am so sorry for your loss. There’s nothing quite like a cousin you grow up with and love like a sibling, but one you like all the time, lol. I got me some close ones & they are truly the best.

Good craft, nice one. (((hugs))) to you, & cheers to Derek.

Perfect memorial.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Anyone loved as much as you clearly love him will always be alive in memory, even though it never feels like that’s enough. :broken_heart:
