If I were to write a letter to Oprah, what would I say?
Something like this...
Dear Oprah,
Nine years and five days ago, a tragedy of an unspeakable kind happened to our family. Our son, Jared, took his life. He was 13 years and 6 days old.
Our family has never been the same; I have never been the same.
When I walked into our home that morning, after being called by a dispatcher to come home, and heard the news from my husband, that Jared was dead, I knew that depression had driven Jared to take his life and that bullying was the trigger.
That was the moment of change in my life. Since that day, I have resolved that I would try to prevent that same outcome in other lives.
I would say more...
I would want Oprah to see that she can help me in my resolve.
But maybe I'll add more in the next blog
