There's No Road Coming Back This Way...

THIS is my letter to the world, That never wrote to me,— The simple news that Nature told, With tender majesty. Her message is committed To hands I cannot see; For love of her, sweet countrymen, Judge tenderly of me! Emily Dickinson

In Memoriam

I found out yesterday that an old friend of mine commited suicide over the weekend. If there is one thing in life that I will never understand that's it. There were kids in school that commited suicide, kids. I remember the talks I had with my dad when it happened back then. They weren't friends of mine, but I certainly knew them. I guess the reason I'll never understand it is because I can't imagine being that so very far gone. I know that's a good thing. I've wanted to disappear before, but that never crossed my mind. The void that has to be there. I think you would have to be completely numb to everything to do this. The school refused to publish the kids that had killed themselves in the yearbook. I think it punished the other students more than the ones that had done it. They didn't have to memorialize them. Just their picture like everyone elses. All I can keep saying is that I just don't get it.
E - I hope you acheived whatever it is you were looking for. I pray for your family and for you. I pray that your family is able to cope and continue with their lives in peace and not guilt. I know full well what the bible says about suicide. Nonetheless, I pray for your own peace. In my thoughts, my words, and my heart Good Bye E.
