I never thought of myself as a writer. I've always avoided putting my feelings on paper. Then one day I had an epiphany. I was going to write a book! The title came to me instantly. The memories flowed through effortlessly. I soon realized the narrator in my head all my life was guiding me to this point. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(34 34 34 1)>I want to share my story hoping to bring awareness to those struggling in similar situations. Hopefully in writing and publishing this book it will reach other parents before a tragedy like mine unfolds taking another innocent child. The decision to expose the heart-wrenching details of my life was difficult to make but if just one child can be saved it will be worth it. No parent should go through the daily pain I feel. </span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(0 0 0 0); color: rgba(34 34 34 1)>I bare my soul and share my experience of pain tears and a few laughs along the way. I wish to honor Wyland and keep his memory alive by sharing memories. </span></p>
