Wanderer - Deception

Dedication

For my amazing son James on your twenty-first birthday, five years since you were last here to celebrate with us.

And for everyone, young or old, who’s struggling with suicidal thoughts. There are more people than you can possibly imagine just waiting out there, wanting you to call so they can help.

Don’t believe the thoughts. You are worth it. You won’t be wasting their time. And they absolutely want you to call.

Just reach out and let them help.

You can do it.

I believe in you.
