Assuming your son made it? Mine did not. Perhaps I did not get what a life-threatening illness depression is. He died by suicide two years ago. More than three years ago, my boyfriend broke up with me. I thought we were together forever. I listen to oldies mostly. I just listened to "Alfie". "Without true love we just exist", Dionne says. That's how I feel today. I was also diagnosed with lymphatic cancer today and goddammit I want my boyfriend. So your article tore at my heart strings.
