“Today is a milestone for me. Not just because today we honour your life and your lost struggle, but for me personally as your bereaved mother, it is the first time outside of your memorial that I am speaking publically about you. I wish you were here, but because you are not, I have a purpose and a mission Rue. I am hurting so much, all I really want to do is disappear into the pain of this loss, the loss of you. However, I have found that I actually feel better when I find something I can do to help others. Yes, I know, it’s counter intuitive isn’t it?”
