Today we lost our son. I don’t care how cliché that sounds,because that’s how it feels. This isn’t how it was supposed to go, you weren’t supposed to suffer. I was supposed to be there by your side to remind just how much I love you and laugh about all of the funny things we experienced together. You came into my life at 18 and left just shy of my 29th birthday. I was robbed of the rest of the time I had left with you. Someone hurt you and in turn they ripped my heart out of my chest. I love you more than I can even put into words. We grew up together and you taught me how to eventually be a mom with an abundance of patience and love. You were everything to me. We didn’t get a proper goodbye, instead we were ripped away from each other. Goodbye my beautiful boy, I don’t know how to do this without you.
