Rest In Peace Mason

I listened quietly as your mother shared the details of your death with me, my heart was breaking with each sob. You haven’t even finished elementary school yet. I try to wrap my head around the events that would even make a child think of taking their own life.

Sweet Mason, I am so devastated that you felt so much pain and anguish that you felt this was your only choice. I pray your family will be able to survive this and know that they could not have known.

Eleven years were not enough for anyone, especially your mother. Rest in peace sweet boy.

Today I am doing my best to find gratitude for today, that has to be enough.
