HAPPY HEAVENLY BELATED BIRTHDAY SON 💜
Today is September 7, and I’m just starting to feel like talking a little. Chris’s 33rd birthday was really hard for me this year. I was overwhelmed with sadness and missing him, and I really didn’t feel like talking or responding to anyone.
Some of you know I’m out of the country right now. Before I left, while I was getting ready for the trip, I did receive some really good news — Chris Sober Living Homes received the occupancy permit. That was a huge step forward, because it means we are finally able to move closer to bringing the women into the home.
I want to thank everyone who called, texted, messaged, and checked on me. I still haven’t responded to everyone yet, but please know that I saw the messages and I truly appreciate all the love and support.
I miss my son every single day. Some days are just harder than others. I’m going to keep pushing forward and keep doing what I started in his memory.
Happy 33rd birthday, Chris. Mom loves and misses you so much. 💜
