Reply #55: I think you are so right about this.

I suffer from very bad bouts of depression and my son seems to always have an eye out for me. It hasn't been easy. But thank God I have a wonderful therapist who's helping me through this. She called me twice yesterday and then again today to see how I was doing. I told her I was doing my best to not go downhill because I need for Travis to be able to deal with his loss and not worry about me. So far we've been working together and he seems to be at ease with me so I guess I'm making a good appearance.

Twenty years old is just too young to lose a parent. I don't know what I would have done in his place. He doesn't show his emotions naturally so I plan to just stay healthy and available for him to lean on me if he needs to.
