“I am the mother of a 14-year-old boy. You spoke at his middle school about a month ago. I want to thank you with the deepest gratitude for your talk. My son has been depressed, and I worry for his well-being as I see him retreating from me. I fear drugs, alcohol, self-harm, etc., are lurking in the shadows. I love him profoundly but find him unreachable sometimes.

So you can imagine he doesn’t do too much more than grunt a hello at me and ask for food when he gets home from school, then be left alone. However, on the day of your talk, he came home from school with a gentle light around him. He said, “Mom, we had this speaker today, and he said some profound things...he told some personal stories that I can't stop thinking about.” He said, “Mom, I'm going to be kinder...I'm going to be more loving.”

You reached him. A good, brilliant kid who is often feeling lost, alone, sad, and angry. He generally checks out. But he heard you. Thank you for this one moment of light that I hope can grow. Bless you and your work.”
