For the life of me.....I can't clear my head of CT Mom and her son; their family. As some of you know her son was recently sentenced to prison for 15 years.
Folks - whether you knew this Mom or not? THIS IS A MOTHER THAT IS HURTING and a MEMBER OF THIS BOARD, THIS FAMILY & COMMUNITY and thus - so was her son.
I'm not asking for me - but if you think about what this wonderful, thoughtful, kind, loving Mother MUST be going through - won't you please take a moment and ask yourself - "If this were me? If this were my family being torn apart for fifteen years? What would I hope to gain by telling members of my family? When we reach out to our family in crisis especially in a family like this? I think the numbers in the support HAS GOT to be there to remind our sister - "WE ARE THERE FOR YOU and your family."
Even if it's just a kind word or two from people she has never met. I've never met her, and I can NOT IMAGINE how badly she hurts, or how frightening this is for her family or her son. - I really think it would matter for her to know - she's being thought of today. This has always been a soft place to land, and if it still is? I think we should let CT mom and her family know that. From everyone.
Much Thanks -
