Wow, Lynn! I'm also very sorry to hear what you've been going through. No matter what you think, it took exceptional courage and love to do what you've done. In caring for your son, and seeing that he is in the best place for him, you've put him first, and you are a Caregiving Hero. And like most caregivers, you probably don't recognize that you are heroic. Most caregivers don't even consider themselves caregivers, just say "I'm a Mom/Dad/Son/Daughter/etc. That's what I do." But what you have done and continue to do daily not everyone does.
Keep his book bag. You never know he might just need it again. And please, take care of yourself. I'm sure you're grieving and recovering.
Sending you positive thoughts and more virtual hugs.
