Every year on the anniversary of her son Jordan's shooting, Lucy writes a letter to her son. She writes about how the bond a mother has for her child never leaves her, the strength she's found in their relationship, and to comfort others experiencing pain over the holidays. Lucy's letter is copied below .
Dear Jordan,
By now, you’d be 29 years old.
You deserved better than this. You deserved to come home this Thanksgiving, to fill up your plate, and to tell us what’s new in life.
By now, maybe you’d even bring home a girlfriend or someone to introduce to the family.
But that wasn’t what happened.
You were ripped away from us.
A man, emboldened by reckless gun laws, believed your life to be less valuable than his unchecked rage - a devastating consequence of a
broken system.
I promised that I would do everything in my power to prevent our tragedy from happening to any other family.
I shared our story to anyone who would listen.
And when I ran for Congress - you were right there with me at every step. Every time someone told us we couldn’t win, the time wasn’t
right, or that we should wait our turn.
We made history.
Because of the power of our story - of your story - this year we’ve spoken on stages we previously never thought possible.
We’ve been made a target of those trying to tear us down over and over again.
But the worst thing in my life that could possibly happen to me already has.
So I refuse to be silent.
Jordan, I love you. One day, I’ll see you again, but until then, God’s not through with us yet. ❤️
Your mom,
Lucy
