Gretchen, I'm so sorry that you can relate to this in many ways. If only it could be in the few good, happy bits that are sprinkled throughout this story.

Thank you so much for reading this, and for your compassion and insights.

I especially love and appreciate your last line. I think I've found as much peace as I can ever having, knowing my son took another man's life and destroyed his family.

I hope you've found peace, too, with whatever demons you've been battling. Thank you so much for your kindness. 💜
