You never physically met me, but I pray everyday that you look over your son. Grief is hard and it never goes away. I know the boy is lost without you every time we talk about you, or I just know you be on his mind heavy. I could never fill in that void for him, but I pray for him everyday on good and bad terms. May peace be with you and my MnL. Continue to watch over Mel he needs it.
