Anniversary

" As anyone who has been close to someone that has committed suicide knows, there is no other pain like that felt after the incident. " ~ Peter Green

Ten years ago today, my dad grabbed a shotgun and went to a neighbor's house. He knocked on the door and asked the neighbor if he could borrow a bullet to kill a snake. My father took the bullet, walked out into the front yard and made the decision.

Always thinking of you, with much caring. It breaks my heart that yours still aches (and pains) to such an extent.

We are so sorry fro your pain suicide is terrible enoguh without it being so public. Involving other people is extremely hard on all involved, how did the neighbour cope? How did you and your family cope?
Suicide is such a private event making it public makes you wonder why, do you know why he wnated it so public?
Thanks for reconnecting with us again
