July 16th marked the third birthday my family has missed with my son Daniel after he died on June 26th, 2019. Danny would have been 28 years old. Since that tragic day I’ve learned to say “I love you” whenever I am with family. I did tell Danny I loved him the last time I saw him and, I think, that has helped me deal with the pain, guilt, sadness and other emotions that come from losing a child to suicide. I beg all of you to ask for help if you need it and offer help when you feel it might be needed. The suicide prevention hotline number is 1 800 273 8255. Suicide is a terrible plague on our land that hurts family, friends, extended family and even people who had casual relationships with the victim. It makes many additional victims. I mourn Danny selfishly because he gave me great joy on a daily basis. I mourn Danny because I believe some of the causes of his depression were being worked out and he could have found happiness. I mourn Danny because he is no longer able to bring happiness to the family he loved; particularly his nephew’s and nieces that he knew and those born after his death. I will pray for Danny everyday until I am able to join him in heaven! I Love You Son!!
