“I can’t imagine losing a child.”

I couldn’t imagine it either.
Then it happened.
And people questioned my parenting, questioned my values, questioned my right to be at the funeral.

My kid wasn’t perfect.
But she knew where I stood because I had a clearly defined right and wrong, black and white system as a guide.
And she did apologize to me when she did something wrong.

She was on her way to look over an apartment theday she died.
She was 19.

My daughter moved out when she was 18 so I had no control over her. We had some rough times but I am so proud of her now. She is working full time and going to college and hopes to become an RN.

My heart truly hurts for you.

Mine died too at 19 - heroin
Son of 2 Air Force officers and grandson of another

you blaming Bon Jovi’s politics for his kid’s lifestyle choices is like someone blaming your politics for your daughter’s choices

sometimes they just make their own choice and they aren’t lucky enough to survive them, but we have to
