12 years ago today my brother’s bestfriend, Ken, ended his own life. For several years I tried to figure out why…one year it hit me that I’ll never know why. Ken is the only person who REALLY knows why he did it. So for those of you that think taking your own life doesn’t affect anybody but you, you’re wrong. But life goes on. His daughter is about to turn16, his son is about to turn 11 (yes, his wife was pregnant when he died), and his wife is remarried and moving on w/ her life in a whole different state. Yet still, when I think long and hard about it, I’m still bitter towards Ken for taking his own life.

I feel like I have known you forever! Every year since the death of a girl I went to school with, I am reminded of her death when you post about the anniversary of your friends death. It was four years ago that Liz died as well. It is heartbreaking to think what she would be doing today…or what Ken would be doing today had they reached out for help.
