Submission 44

Dear Ross,

It’s impossible to describe how much I miss you.

I’m so, so sorry I wasn’t there with you at the end. There’s so much I would like to say but I hope that though you are no longer here that somehow you will know how much you were loved and are still loved.

With all my heart I hope you found peace. We are trying to do as you asked campaigning for improvements in mental health services. Only now do I fully appreciate how much those improvements are needed.

Can you reach me in a dream? We are looking after your little son and you would be so proud of the progress he is making. We will make sure that he never forgets the love you gave him. We cherish the time your mum and I had with you.

Sleep softly my beloved son.

Dad.
