This episode of The Sweet Smiles Podcast is a little different—and deeply personal.

As her son Vincent Gregory’s 10th birthday approaches, Chelsea steps out of the host’s chair to share her own story: Vincent’s short but extraordinary life, the grief of losing a child, learning how to celebrate while still grieving, and the acts of kindness that have carried her family through the last ten years.

From strangers celebrating Vincent’s birthday to a mysteriously mowed lawn, a simple “V for Vincent,” and an Icing Smiles cake made in his honor, Chelsea reflects on something she has learned firsthand: kindness doesn’t have to be big to matter. Sometimes the smallest gesture becomes part of someone’s story forever.

This episode is a celebration of Vincent, a thank-you to the people and organizations who helped his family smile when smiling felt impossible, and a challenge to all of us:

Make somebody smile.

Hold the door. Send the text. Buy the coffee. Say their loved one’s name. Do something kind—even if it feels small.

And if you do it for Vincent this week, make a V for Vincent and help send one more ripple of kindness into the world because a little boy named Vincent was here.

Until there’s a cure, we celebrate their lives. Today, we celebrate Vincent Gregory.
