I don't have much to say other than we all miss him so very much. I feel as though I've been ripped apart...a part of me has left. As Zach's mom, I continue to pray and hope that NO OTHER chooses to end their life. The pain your family is left with is unspeakable. Not just your parents, but your sisters and/or brothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, friends of friends. Even the little guys you think won't notice or remember... know that they DO!
Today I want to call my son and sing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZACH" and tell him how awesome he is, how loved he is, how proud I am of him growing into this amazing, loving man...He was doing it! He had his own place, he was taking care of his responsibilities, he was doing well. And then I got that call...he was gone. I even asked, "Is he okay???" and the answer was screamed at me over the phone "NO!! HE'S GONE!"
Please, if you or someone you know is acting suicidal don't wait for permission...call someone, call 911...who cares if that person gets mad at you! You could be saving their life!
Dear Zach,
I love you so very much! I wish you were here so I could call you and tell you Happy Birthday! I wish I were preparing that trip to bring your truck out to you! You accomplished so much in your 18 years, I can only think of what would have been.
I love you so much Zach...Happy 1st Heaven Birthday,
Mom <3
