Long Live Landon Donovan

07/25/2026

I know it’s been a while since we’ve posted, but our family has been trying to cope the best we can. It’s been a little over a year since we lost Landon, and somehow it still feels like yesterday. Every day, something reminds us of him—a thought, a saying, a memory that comes out of nowhere.

Yesterday, for me as his mom, it was something as simple as taking our youngest son to a musical. They asked us to take a family picture. The picture turned out beautiful, but it hit me in a way I wasn’t prepared for. All I could think about was how Landon wasn’t in it… and never will be. That reality broke my heart all over again.

Parents, please be present in your kids’ lives. It’s so easy to say, “We’ll talk tomorrow” or “I’ll handle it later,” but tomorrow is never promised. You never truly know what your child may be thinking or going through—whether it’s bullying, social media, or something they’re afraid to say out loud.

Our kids deserve the best version of us. Be there. Pay attention. Listen. Even the small moments matter more than we realize.

My momma heart hurts for the three teenagers involved in the tragic accident in Lake Asbury last night, and especially for the family and friends of the 14-year-old boy who lost his life. Landon was 14 when we lost him almost 14 months ago, and the pain of losing a child is truly indescribable.

Parents, please be aware of the dangers of motorized bikes and scooters. If you are going to allow your children to ride them, please make sure they have proper safety equipment and are following road rules. I do not know the details of this accident and am not suggesting anything about this situation—this is just a general reminder.

This is a heartbreaking tragedy all the way around. My heart hurts for everyone involved. It’s also a reminder of how important it is to keep talking with our children, even when we think they already understand.

Prayers for everyone affected. ❤️

I wish something like this had been around when Landon was still with us. Please don’t pass up the opportunity to learn how to better protect our kids from online predators. Even if you think your child is protected, I promise kids today can often find ways around safeguards we never imagined.

This is free, and with summer coming up, kids will have so much more free time online. Taking a little time to learn could make a bigger difference than you realize.

Your light is still with us—steady, warm, and unbreakable.
In every memory, every laugh we hold onto, you live on.
You are loved beyond words, missed beyond measure,
and carried with us in all that we do.
Your story didn’t end—it echoes in every heart you touched. 💙💙
