Today it's been 16 months 16 months since I have seen your face 16 months since I felt your embrace 16 months since I heard your laugh 16 months since I knew you were in the world even when I didn't see or hear from you It's also been 16 months since I have seen the pain in your eyes FELT the pain of you words, go straight to my heart Seen the effects of your illness on your whole being Seen that you were a shadow of who you were before mental illness took over your life I MISS all of you, but I am not sorry you found peace and I am trying to make you proud by screaming hard and loud that Mental Health is crucial and our resources are inadequate. I love you, my son and I miss you!
