“Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children”

-Eric Draven (The Crow)

I am not a mother myself and I don’t wish to become one, but I am a daughter and a sister, a child of a broken home, as many others, I’m someone who witnessed and endured several common mistakes our parents made with my younger sister and I, but also, someone who knows with complete certainty those mistakes weren’t conscious.

So, once again I’m trying to convey what I’ve learned through what this brave woman shared with the world, with the main goal to help others and prevent them from going through what she and some other mothers, fathers, siblings and families have suffered unnecessarily.

I firmly believe Sue isn’t guilty or responsible for the crime her younger son perpetrated 20 years ago, tho, I know she committed some serious mistakes, out of ignorance, about the struggles that young man was enduring right before his suicide.

That’s why I pictured here what she tried to be for him as for his older brother: just the best mom she could, maybe not a perfect one and not even the one her son needed at that time, but the absolute best she could and that’s something no one, not even him and what he did, can take away from her.

This lady inspires me to no end, having found her and her message, help me to finally give closure to maybe one of the biggest issues of my parents divorce, that I carried with me since 20 years ago.

Tho, I know I was able to heal principally because I had the will and the wish to do so, it was her words and experience, tho, completely unrelated to mine, which finally give me the tools to put everything in perspective and gave me the final push to be able to move on, that’s one of the reasons I hugely admire her and feel a great gratitude for going out there and share her experiences and will to help others who might be struggling.

I do not believe she’s responsible for what her son did, but I do know she made a lot of mistakes that made the situation possible, however, I believe her fiercely when she says, if she’d had known, she’d tried her best to prevent it from happening.

I don’t believe there’s someone who would not try to help it’s child if they knew they are suffering in any way.

So, because I’m glad she decided to step forward and try to help in her way and with her best will…I made these studies of her…just because to me, she’s awesome!!
