You had a great sense of humor and a dynamic mind. Growing up, I was like your baby and you were my best friend. Life hasn't been fair to you, I know that. Sometimes it seemed like you had no chance no matter what happened.
Experiencing innocence rather than the burden of trauma, pain and suffering is incredibly important to childhood, especially at such a young age. I know why Leslie, Aaron and you are now in the same circumstances as you. I share the pain we experienced growing up and I'm sorry you didn't have a chance for a better life. We all need to break down barriers, reduce stigma and build a society where seeking mental health support is met with understanding and encouragement. This starts with our children and creating healthy conversations at home.”
