This is a story about a soldier. It is also a story about a mother (me) and the heart-wrenching experience of living after my son died. There is so much just in those words.
All those who have lost a child too soon, or a friend in combat, will be able to relate. Grieving is not well understood in this country. It is not something that carries a time limit and suddenly you are ‘over it’ in a year or so.
My love for my son is eternal, it is part of who I am. Though his life was short, it had meaning. He inspired so many people in his 25 years. I hope our story will inspire you.
