100 Day Challenge: Day 58
Today was incredibly bitter-sweet. In October of 2022, I received an order for a Brecky Breck outfit. As I was fulfilling the order, I realized I was out of miniature bows and glasses. I knew the order wouldn’t get there in time for Halloween, so I decided to send mine! As I wrote my little friend a note, I talked about how happy I was to be able to “match” her, told her she was special and blessed me so much, and how “I hope to meet you someday!” Fast forward to two days ago: I stepped outside the RV to the picnic table to respond to emails. I open a heartfelt note from a mom about her precious daughter, Philomena. Mena was born with a rare chromosome disorder. She was nonverbal, developmentally delayed, but a ray of light and joy to everyone around her. And she loved watching my show.
In 2023, she contracted sepsis and passed away on August 30th, 2023. My heart shattered as I read this. I can only imagine the pain a mommy must feel losing her precious baby. Mena’s family came to our event yesterday in Omaha, NE. I was able to hear more about Mena, hug them, and take a picture with her memory bear.
Mena’s parents started a nonprofit organization in her honor to support special education, inclusion, and kindness. What a wonderful way to celebrate the life of little Mena and the ray of light she is. I will link the website in my bio.
Mena, I cannot wait to hug, dance, and sing with you in heaven! Until then, I will continue to spread love and joy just like you. I love you so much, little friend.
We are the Johnsons, a family of six out to turn stress into adventure. We had kids at a young age, so we’ve all been growing up together. Early on, we had to learn how to turn the stress of life into an adventure we can all enjoy together. Life is too short to avoid stress, and the way we see it, stress is a sign that we are pursuing something great. Sure, times can be hard, and we absolutely feel the weight of bad decisions, but as long as we pursue each other and continue pushing for something greater, we will be able to turn stress into adventure.
Brecky Breck is our family’s creative outlet, featuring engaging content for kids and families. From storytime sessions and craft projects to BMX clinics, we bring joy and learning wherever we go. You can check out Brecky Breck and see our tour schedule here: breckybreck.com.
