hope is defiant

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. I appreciate that TWLOHA has put some mental health templates on PicCollage. When I saw this frame, I wanted to find a photo of Rader to go in it, so here he is on his 15th birthday — his last one with us.

Maybe you think that’s incongruous with the “Hope is Defiant” declaration. I don’t, because *my* hope is that what I’ve learned from my loss helps save others.

If my work ever inspires you or connects with you, please share my posts. One thing I learned with Rader is that you might not be able to tell when someone has lost their last hope. What you share could be the lifeline they need.

This pic was Rader’s last birthday w/us. You might think that’s incongruous with #HopeIsDefiant. *My* hope is that my work saves others from the loss we suffered. If my posts ever speak to you, please share. You never know who else needs to hear it. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth pic.twitter.com/snxTCFnj9T
