I find myself reflecting on things that are sometimes hard to put into words as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month comes to an end.

Some may think we are stronger because of what we’ve been through. Some may think we are different. And honestly, I can agree with both. We are people who have loved deeply, lost unimaginably, and now live with a piece of our hearts in Heaven.

Personally speaking, some days I can pour my heart out to everyone, even strangers, and other days, I may seem quiet, distant, or even cold. Some days I love really big, and some days I struggle to find what else I could possibly have to give to even my own family.

Some days… I just do a better job of giving it to Jesus than other days.

Through it all, we are thankful for our hope in Jesus Christ. We are thankful for the peace that passes all understanding, for the grace that carries us through, and for the ability to still have good days, to still laugh, and to still find joy. Not because the pain is gone, but because our hope is greater than our pain.

Today, and everyday, we stand on the promises of God, which is exactly what Landon would want all of us to do.

As September ends, we remember Landon. We remember the day he made us parents. We remember the lessons he taught us. We remember the joy he gave us. We remember the boy he was. The way he loved, the way he lived, and all the beautiful pieces of him that cancer could never take.

Childhood cancer awareness isn’t just about raising awareness of the disease. It’s about remembering the children, the families, the battles, and the lives forever changed.

We are incredibly honored and grateful to share that Frazier Industrial in Dyersburg selected Team Landon Clay Foundation as the beneficiary of their annual employee crappie tournament and fundraising efforts this year.

Each year, their team comes together to raise money for a chosen charity, and it means so much that they chose to partner with us this year. Their generosity goes beyond words, and what touched our hearts even more was the intentional gift of $9,999.99 in memory of our sweet Landon, number 99. That special detail is something we will never forget. It truly reflects the heart of the production manager, Crystal Dutton, and her amazing team, who were all so wonderful to our family through this experience.

Because of Frazier Industrial and their amazing employees and sponsors, TLCF will be able to continue growing the 99 Project nationally and fund meaningful, special projects for local children who are facing some of life’s toughest battles.

Thank you for not only supporting our mission, but for remembering Landon in such a thoughtful and powerful way. We are forever grateful.

Landon’s Dad and Pap were honored to accept the check from Frazier employees for TLCF in memory of Landon.❤️

Yesterday, Hillcrest Elementary remembered two students who would have been a part of the 6th grade class. It meant so much to our family, and I know the other family was appreciative, too.

We are incredibly thankful to Hillcrest for honoring Landon’s memory with the Landon Clay Matheny Award. Recognizing a student from his grade who reflects the same kind of character, kindness, and heart for others is truly special to us.

The verse shared, Galatians 5:13, “serve one another humbly in love,” is such a beautiful reminder of how Landon lived his life and the example he set.

With his family’s permission, I want to share the recipient, Mason. Mason was a classmate of Landon’s. I feel certain they would still be friends today because they were both two old souls even in first grade!

Mason is kind, respectful, and thoughtful. The way he treats others, shows compassion, and carries himself speaks volumes about his character. It is clear he carries the kind of spirit that makes a difference in the lives of others, and we are so honored that he was chosen for this award.

We also want to thank Mason’s precious family for raising such a wonderful young man.

Our hearts miss our boy so much, but we are full of gratitude that he is remembered .❤️

DIPG trapped Landon in his own body. It’s cruel. It doesn’t discriminate. It certainly doesn’t care if the child is undeserving.

If anyone would like to order one of the shirts from Celebrate Landon, they are $20. Go Gray in May is coming up soon, so the gray one would be perfect that. You can message us or comment below. We can take PayPal, Venmo, cash, or you can use a credit/debit card by making a donation at www.teamlandonclayfoundation.org.

We want to thank Red Barn Design, Mrs. Teresa Hutchison, for making the shirts and donating all proceeds to the foundation. She has put so much time into these!

Peep the details on each! The blue shirt has 12 balloons because Landon would be 12 years old, and it has the Mario color/look to it! The gray one has his picture made into a superhero character! These shirts are very special to us, and we would love for you to have one, too!💛

We can’t even put into words how special it is when someone remembers Landon and shares a story or just pauses to think of him. We think about him daily. Landon loved school so much, and Hillcrest did a great job of loving him. They continue to remember Landon on his birthday. His friends in the 6th grade, along with several staff members, paused this week to remember him, sing happy birthday, share special memories, and eat cake for him. We are grateful.

Logan’s teacher shared a very special red and blue bracelet with him that morning that said happy birthday. He proudly wore it all day. That afternoon he wanted the bracelet to soar all the way to Heaven! We told him it would be too heavy and would weigh the balloons down. With the help of a determined staff member who has loved our boys so well and three balloons, the bracelet soared. Logan’s response to us, “You don’t know if you don’t try. A little faith goes a long way.” It sure does, kid.❤️💙🎈
