Happy 11th Birthday, Miles. 💙
Today, you would have been 11 years old.
We wish more than anything that today looked the way it was supposed to — eleven candles on a birthday cake, your mom and dad beside you, friends gathered around, laughter filling the room, presents to open, pictures to take, and another year of memories being made.
You should be here celebrating.
Today, we celebrate you, but the truth is, we carry you with us every single day.
We wonder who you would be at 11. What would make you laugh now. What you would be interested in. What your favorite things would be. What stories your mom and dad would be telling about you. What dreams you would already be starting to have for your future.
There are so many moments that should have been yours.
More birthdays. More school pictures. More holidays. More vacations. More ordinary evenings at home. More hugs. More chances for your mom and dad to watch their little boy grow.
And it is impossible not to wonder how different life would look today if a different choice had been made.
That is part of why your story continues to matter so deeply to us.
Miles, we hope that somewhere in Heaven, you are having the biggest 11th birthday celebration with your mom and dad right beside you — surrounded by love, laughter, and more birthday cake than you could ever ask for. 💙
Miles, Susie, and Tyler — the three of you will forever be our why.
We will continue to say your names. We will continue to share your story. We will continue to educate, advocate, and fight so that fewer families are left wondering about all the moments that should have been.
We will continue to carry your voices with us in everything we do.
Happy 11th Birthday, sweet Miles. 🎂💙
