Dear J.J

What can I say? Three years have passed since you left us. Yes we’ve done our best to stay strong as you wrote in your note. Life has not been easy, it’s been easier to talk about you but the tears still flow. We have raised money for suicide prevention awareness. We struggle whenever our routine changes or life throws us a curveball. Our resilience is not what it used to be. Dad has been researching philosophy in the hope of finding an answer. It’s taken it’s toll on him. We love and miss you as much as ever. We regret not being able to spot how lost you were feeling and how those feelings had taken over your life. We are proud of you for all you achieved in your life and how you helped people even though it added to your anxiety. We try our best to help others in your memory. Mental health sucks.

Love always,

Mum and Dad
