For everything you have missed, you have gained something else,
and for everything you gain, you lose something else.
~~Ralph Waldo Emerson
six days ago our sixteen year old son
returned home
from residential psychiatric treatment
again
two days ago his father and i called 911
and our son was arrested
today we formally file felony charges
and
for the safety of our younger sons
hope that
our son
will never return to his family
how does a mother crawl up from
the grave of this death
