I am deeply grateful to The Missing Word for including my story in this powerful book and for giving a name to a grief so many parents carry. This book highlights the stories of ollipsent parents and helps bring awareness to what is means to lose a child.
I lost my son, Jordan, to gun violence. I am honored to have my story included alongside these families who have bravely shared their experiences. Thank you, The Missing Word, for creating a space where our voice can be heard and where our children’s memories can be remembered.
