Awesome, bloody awesome!!!!!! Rowan gave an impromptu speech outlining the motivation for the book and also telling quite a bit about his journey into madness and back. There wasnt a dry eye in the place. About 150 people turned up which has blown us away...we were tentatively hoping for about 50. He sold about 200 books on the spot and got orders for lots more. He also read 5 of his poems to the group and you could have heard a pin drop.....I looked at my boy up there on that dais, confidently and proudly reading his poetry and can hardly believe it is the same person, who for years has been in and out of psych wards; tried to take his own life three times because of the despair and pain of it all....lost his youth to an illness so devastating .....a living nightmare that he couldnt wake up from.....and there he was, standing tall and healthy, a miracle. I tell you my friends I will never forget this day.....he is absolute testament to that saying of yours G. about being able to do anything in this life. Another very heartwarming and affirming thing happened tonight. The number of Rowans friends that were there. They have been with him through his dark days and they are there with him in the light, and they have never deserted him, no matter how unwell he has been. All is well in my world.
