As the mother of a 15 yr old daughter who recently attempted suicide- I saw all sorts of parents visitng their chidren in the hospital. Many parents seemed to be provoking the situation- I realize that though my daughter may have made some poor decisions, she is wothy of life and love and that is what I choose to do-- love her. I will send all the love I can to you too. I do not know you, nor your parent(s), so I won't attempt to speak about what I do not know. I do know that you are amongst the living; are probably in much pain but I do want you to stay amongst the living. I wish you encouragement, perseverance and strength. You are worthy of life and the world is and will continue to be a better place because of you. No matter your shortcomings, we all have some (let's not compare, as if you were to see the ones I made from before age 18 until now age 37) you may not want to hear from me. smile
I hope to hear from you.
