๐๏ธ 18 Years Without You, Miles ๐๏ธ
September 26, 2008 โ the day my life changed forever.
Today marks 18 years since my son, Miles Alexander Johnson, took his last breath at just 15 years old.
Eighteen years.
Some days it feels like a lifetime ago, and other days it feels like yesterday. One thing that has never changed is my love for you.
Miles, you are still a part of everything I do. Every student I teach, every person I feed, every cake I bake, every dream I pursue, and every person I help carries a little piece of your legacy.

Your name is more than a name on my businesses and my work. It is my promise to you that as long as I am here, you will never be forgotten.
Life has taken me through some fires I never imagined I would survive. And somehow, through all of it, I can still hear you saying, โMommy, keep going.โ
So I keep going.
Today, I choose not to focus only on the 18 years I have lived without you. I thank God for the 15 beautiful years I had the privilege of being your mother here on earth.
And I will be your mother forever.
You were here.
You mattered.
You changed my life.
You are still changing lives.
And you are loved beyond words.
Miles Alexander Johnson
Forever 15. ๐

Your life was short, but your legacy will outlive me.
Until we meet again, Mommy will keep saying your name. ๐
