Today is my son Nathan’s birthday.
Birthdays look different when the person you love isn’t here to celebrate with you.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about him. Some days it’s a memory that makes me smile. Some days it’s a reminder of how much can change in an instant. Today is both.
As a mother, losing a child taught me lessons I never wanted to learn. One of them is that tomorrow is never promised. We spend so much of our lives planning for the future, assuming there will always be more time.
That’s part of why the work I do matters so much to me.
Financial planning isn’t really about money. It’s about people. It’s about making sure the people you love are cared for, protected, and supported no matter what life brings.
Today I’m celebrating Nathan, remembering his smile, and feeling grateful for every moment we were given.
Happy Birthday, Nathan. You are loved, missed, and thought about every single day. ❤️
