Another beautiful day

Such a great, warm spring-like day today.

Thought of my son again, who is incarcerated, being brought to competence for trial, in a mental health facility. He has schizophrenia. It's been an incredible ten years since his diagnosis.

I think I will try to use this blog to record my feelings and thoughts about it as we move forward.

I miss him - a lot. He was a bright and fun child. It's been a bewildering experience, dealing with the changes in him. But he is my son and my only child, and I love him more than food, clothing, shelter, water, or air. I want all the best for him; I want him to feel joy again.

  1. Mary, I am sending you all my support. I have never gone through such an experience but I am a mother an love my children. I think I can understand this feeling of loss.
