Two years.

January 3, 2017 - Gwen Carver

Today marks the second year since I heard the words no mother should ever hear.

“I’m sorry, but your son has suffered a stroke as a result of his injuries. He’s brain dead.”

I crumbled to the floor.

I heard a voice in the room. It just kept saying, “I can’t do this… I can’t do this! ” It took me a minute to recognize the voice as my own.

Justin came to my side and put his arm around me. The 21 year old child trying to be the parent.

Bob was 30 minutes away driving Josh home to be with family during this time. Someone phoned Bob to let him know what happened.

It’s been 2 years. I’ve found I can do this.

I hate it.
It hurts.
But I’m here.

And I’ll keep doing it till I find out who did this to Corey.
