I heard today that you took your own life
it crushed me to hear this
it brought me back to my son's attempt
to take his life that was so very close to
being successful
I can still remember sitting on the floor
in his icu room just watching him breathe
and being thankful that he still could
I hate that so many people
feel that way and do not see any
other options
I get that life is hard
but life can be beautiful as well
I wish I could help you see the beauty
but that can only be discovered by oneself
My hope is that you found peace
I wish that you could have gotten help
to prevent this
My tears are useless now
but please know that there are those
that do care that you are gone
