It makes me want to drop in a comment saying, "Kids, please please please don't think about offing yourselves. Yes, I'm a stranger and what do I know, etcetra, etcetra, but just don't. Pain goes away. It may take a while, but it will always go away somehow."
But I don't...because I'm a stranger and what do I know, etcetra.
It makes me think of Pat, a friend of a couple of friends of mine. We hung out a time or two when he would come visit the Midwest again from Portland.
He committed suicide a few years ago. Even though we weren't close, it changed my life drastically for a while, just helping my other friends deal with the pain of losing him. Death changes people in ways you'd never think...affecting people you've barely known.
I wish I could tell them that.
