Im so sorry for the pain you have but proud that you have been able to overcome the need to run for the hills and use again! When tragedy, loss or grief comes into our lives, thats when we find out how strong we can be! You have made it through one of the hardest struggles and you have not only made yourself proud but you have made him proud!
I wish the best for you and your family during this time and hope you continue to find your strength
