"I was the father of a 16 year old son.

A single parent.

I raised my boy since he was a baby.

He meant the world to me .

We were always together.

He was my best friend.

We got the P—er v—ine because I thought it would protect him.

I thought it was the right thing to do.

My government lied to me.

They said it was safe, and now . . .

I go home to an empty house.

He was my baby boy.

They need to stop pushing this on our children.

I lost mine.

You need to protect yours.

I love the hell out of my country, but I don't trust my government anymore."
