Thank you for being the best mom you could be. I love you, from Joshua.
One day after he sent that letter to his mother, he hung himself in an abandoned house. His body was not found for days. On tuesday October fifth Joshua's body was found. His mother fell into depression and died of natural causes one year later. The only thing Joshua left behind was his legacy, and the word "SOLDIER" written on the wall behind where he hung himself.
