@live2liveapparel: My son's football boots are still by the back door. 11 months now. I can't bring myself to move them. Liam was 16. Captain of the football team. Honour roll student. Funniest kid in the class. My pride and joy. The Sunday before we lost him, he had two helpings of roast and fell asleep on my sofa like he did when he was little. I put a blanket over him. That's my last picture of him. Peaceful, on my sofa. People ask if there were signs. I've torn that question apart at 3am more times than I can count. He laughed at my jokes. He sent me memes. He said "I'm fine, Mum" — and I believed him. Because what mother doesn't want to believe her boy is fine? That's what nobody tells you. Some of them fight the whole war behind a smile. And the people who love them most are the last to know there was ever a battle. Last month in town, a young boy walked past me. Liam's age. Liam's build. The back of his hoodie said: "Dear person behind me, the world is a better place with you in it." I had to hold onto a railing. Because what if my Liam had walked behind that boy on his worst day? Nine words from a stranger. Maybe that's all it would have taken. I found out where it's from. Live2Live. Started by a woman who lost her sister the same way I lost my son. A portion of every sale goes to mental health nonprofits. Now I wear mine everywhere. The shops. The school run with my granddaughter. Because somebody's child is always behind me. If you're struggling — please stay. Tell someone. You are enough. For Liam ❤️ --- #YouAreEnough #MentalHealthMatters #CheckOnYourLovedOnes #ForMySon #fyp
