Happy Heavenly Birthday, Matt
Today, we will gather at the place no parent ever imagines standing on their child’s birthday.
We bring balloons, memories, tears, and love that still runs deep.
Because July 7 is Matthew’s birthday.
He would have turned another year older today—laughing, dancing, hugging, living.
Instead, we stand at his graveside with the ache of what could’ve been…
and the gratitude for the love he gave so fully while he was here.
But even in the silence, Matt still speaks.
Through every hug from Brittanee.
Through every giggle from Evie.
Through every friend who says, “He changed my life.”
So today, in honor of his birthday—don’t just scroll past.
Make the call.
To the person you’ve been thinking about. The one you miss. The one who still matters.
Say what’s on your heart. Speak love while you still can.
Then tag someone else and invite them to
Let Matt’s birthday be a celebration of connection, not regret.
We miss you every day, Matthew. And we’ll love you forever.
