Wow, this is spoooky, my dad died on June 6th, 1995, so 10 years ago today.

He didn't commit suicide but it was still a rough time for other reasons.

I was actually going to write about it today but I think I'll hold off until tomorrow.

Take care Liz.

Wow. I realize it was a long time ago, but I'm sure it still hurts. When I was very young my mother's boyfriend's son shot himself between the eyes, held on for a week in the hospital, then died. It's so sad that people feel they are better off dead and act upon that feeling... :( I hope you're holding in there. Hard to get through the "anniversary" day...

I agree, there should have been a cry for help.

I'm so sorry.

My birthday is June 6th... I don't know what to say. I can't offer anything profound or earth shattering because I can't find the words. I can't offer words of encouragement because you will have heard all the words you need. I can't offer my sympathy because it doesn't fit...

So I will sit here and contemplate that, in life, people are born and people die. For whatever reason, our time will come when it does. While I celebrate the day of my birth others around me have memories to nurture.

May the 6th be a fond memory of the greatness of the man rather than a sad memory of what occured

Thank you

Exactly. There should have been a cry for help. People don't do that kind of stuff just because they want to. I'm sorry for your loss.

His pain was not your own, don't take it personally, I'm quite certain he loved you more than life itself. Be strong. Peace be with you and him. xoxo

I'm very sorry for your loss. That's a hard thing to deal with at any time, but I imagine it must have been especially devastating at such a young age. My thoughts are with you.

So sorry for your loss. I know it's a terrible time and the shock of how it happened is sometimes too much to bear. My thoughts and wishes go out to you and your family.
