MENTAL HEALTH AND OUR CHILDREN

I don’t normally include my family on my blogs.  But with the passing of Twitch I wanted to share this photo of my daughter with him.  This loss has hit home for many young people especially in my world, those that love dance. I have seen countless photos like this one of friend’s children with Twitch.  He truly made young people feel special.

I was saddened and surprised by his passing.  In talking with both of my children they explained to me that people can seem happy and all the things on the outside but be terribly torn on the inside.  Our kids know.  They see.  Talk to your kids.  Someone they admired and looked up to did not see a way out.  We have to remind them we are all here.  Every second of every day even when life isn’t what we want it to be.

Rest in peace Twitch.  I for one am so thankful for the impact your life has had on my small family and the entire world.
