Question from a high school student after one of my presentations.
That’s a tough one. (For those of you who don’t know, Charles is my son who died by suicide and I often speak to youth about mental health.)
To answer the question, I think he’d say be true to yourself and follow your passion.
Charles asked me once, “Mom are you following your passion?” I hesitated and then he said, “If you are taking that long to answer, you aren’t.
“You should follow your heart,” said the child with the world’s biggest heart.
So I did.
I think he would say he’s so proud of you for working so hard to help others. I’m sure proud of you.
Thank you Leigh
I think Charles would say…
Dear Mom I think you are so brave and have found your “passion” helping young people to open up about mental illness, suicide and death. Please don’t stop. I’m so proud of you👍❤
I love that carol. Thank you.
