Remember. Heal. Together.
By the time I was discharged, my mom didn’t think I was physically well enough to attend the service. I was able to watch it by Facebook Live, but of course, that wasn’t the same. I want to honor his memory by continuing to be an uncle to his three sons, my nephews. That’s what he would have wanted.
