Today would have been Gavin Robert Fresia’s 3rd Birthday. It has been an extremely hard day for Brandon and I both but together we are supported by our friends and family through grief that we never knew existed. It is because of all of you that we can continue to honor Gavin and make SMILES.

😀Gavin’s Smile Maker’s has delivered over fifty book bags with stuffed animals, coloring books, and crayons to patients at The Betty Cameron Women's and Children's Hospital at Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center.

🎄In addition to our ongoing backpack sponsorship program, we have been able to adopt a family of four from The Carousel Center for Christmas.

Thank you for all the love and support you have given Brandon and I. We love you all! 💗💗

Gavin's Mom,

Claire

Hey everyone, as we gather around the table today, I just want to take a moment to express my gratitude to all of you. Thanksgiving is a time for us to come together, share delicious food, and most importantly, give thanks for all the blessings in our lives.

I am so grateful for my friends and family who have been there for me through thick and thin. Your love, support, and laughter have brought so much joy to my life, and I am truly blessed to have each and every one of you in my life.

Today, as we enjoy our Thanksgiving feast, let's remember the importance of giving and being thankful. It's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of daily life, but taking the time to appreciate the people and things that make our lives special is so important.

Let's also remember that not everyone is as fortunate as we are. There are so many people in the world who are in need, and I encourage all of us to think about how we can give back and make a positive impact in the lives of others. Whether it's volunteering at a local shelter, donating to a charity, or simply offering a helping hand to someone in need, let's spread kindness and generosity wherever we can.

So, as we gather today, let's count our blessings, cherish the moments we have with one another, and spread love and kindness to those around us.

❤️ Gavin's Dad ❤️
