There is a pain no parent should ever have to know: losing a child.

When you lose a child, you don’t just lose the person you love. You lose the lifetime of memories you were supposed to make. The birthdays, holidays, milestones, graduations, and all the little moments you imagined sharing. You lose the future you dreamed of.

And while the world keeps moving, yours is forever changed. You learn to carry an absence that never truly goes away. Some days the grief is quiet; other days, the smallest reminder brings it all rushing back.

Losing Noah changed everything about me. It changed how I see the world, how I love, how I parent, and what matters most. I will never be the person I was before July 17, 2023. I miss the little boy he was, and I ache for the boy he should have become. I wonder who he would be today, what would make him laugh, and all the things we should still be experiencing together.

I cannot give Noah the life he deserved, but I can spend my life making sure his mattered.

That’s why Noah’s Smile exists. That’s why I keep showing up, raising awareness, and helping other families navigate the unimaginable. His story didn’t end when his life did. His love lives on through every family we support, every child we help, and every person who learns his name.

If you know a parent who has lost a child, please don’t assume they’re okay just because they’re smiling. Say their child’s name. Remember their birthday. Acknowledge their loss. Don’t be afraid to talk about the child they miss every single day.

We don’t need you to fix our grief. We just need you to understand that our children are still our children. They are still loved, still missed, and forever part of us.

I am Noah’s mom. I always will be.

And I will spend the rest of my life making sure the world never forgets him.

Our 2nd Annual Spooktacular was truly magical.

There aren’t enough words to adequately express my gratitude and appreciation for every single person who showed up last night. Walking into a room filled with so much love, kindness, and support was one of the most incredible feelings, and it’s something I will never forget.

When I started Noah’s Smile, my hope was to turn the unimaginable pain of losing my son into something meaningful by helping other families who are facing the unimaginable themselves. Nights like last night remind me exactly why we do what we do. Every ticket purchased, every raffle ticket bought, every donation made, and every person who walked through those doors helps us continue our mission of supporting families with children facing serious illness.

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. Thank you for believing in Noah’s Smile, for believing in our mission, and for helping us continue to make a difference in the lives of families who need it most. You are all part of something so much bigger than one evening, and I hope you know just how much that means to me and my family.

A very special thank you to all of our incredible vendors, everyone who donated a dessert, everyone who donated a raffle prize, our amazing sponsors, and every single guest who spent their evening with us. Thank you to everyone who worked behind the scenes, gave their time, shared our event, or helped make the night possible in any way. It truly takes a village, and we are so lucky to have this one.

I wish I could personally thank each and every one of you a thousand times over. Your generosity, kindness, and love allow Noah’s legacy to continue touching lives in ways I could have never imagined.

Last night, the room was full of love, and for a few hours, the world felt a little lighter. That is the magic of Noah’s Smile. That is what happens when people come together for a purpose bigger than themselves. And that is how we keep Noah’s smile shining.

I can’t wait to share more photos from this beautiful evening! There are so many special moments to look back on, and I’m still taking it all in.

From our family to yours, thank you for being part of Noah’s Smile. Thank you for keeping his memory alive. And thank you for helping us make a difference, one family at a time. ❤️
