You have no idea how much I love this picture. My two little boys at the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Raising my children has been the greatest privilege in my life. Most of my spare time is spent coaching a sports team or helping out where I can. All I know is how to share the things that I love with them. Over time I had to learn to also love the things they grew to love as well. Mateen became quite the intellectual and Tremaine the youngest in the picture is bright and sings like a bird. When Mateen passed, I was shocked. We talked almost every day. I am a licensed therapist, and never thought I would miss the signs of suicide in my own child. I had spent so much of my career helping others in the same situations. I’ve come to realize that as a father all I could see was potential. I saw problems but I knew he could navigate successfully. I thought he had the ability and spirit to make it. Well, he didn’t. He made a permanent decision for a temporary problem. So this website is our way of picking up the pieces of loss and grief and combining them to have a purpose. Thank you for being apart of the process.
