A mother's heart is aching. Her teenage son's funeral is today. He took his own life. I don't know her personally. She's a friend of a friend. She has a mother's heart but was unable to conceive a baby.
At the age of four, he was removed from his home because of abuse. He landed in the system and she was his court-appointed special advocate. Then she adopted him. She was the perfect mother for him. You might be thinking that he was a lucky little boy, but she would probably tell you that she's the lucky one.
At the time of his death, they were in family therapy. She did everything she could for him. That is, after all, what mothers do. His time on earth was very short, but because of her, he knew what it was to be truly loved. She rescued him, but she would probably tell you that he rescued her. She was his angel. And now he is hers.
