On Saturday I found out that a friend of mine had committed suicide. At first I was holding it together, but it didn't take long until it all fell apart. I have so many questions and most of them can't be answered. What makes a person that was so full of life that he instantly made people smile want to take his life? Why did he feel that he couldn't reach out to someone instead when there are so many that cared and would have helped if they had known? How many people are struggling to make it through a day, but hide it so well that no one sees what's coming? Were there signs that everyone missed because we were all too busy to see?
It seems that we are all rushing through life and I think maybe one of the few times we realize that we might need to slow down is when someone dies and for a while it seems like our world has stopped while everyone else is still rushing by.
I hope you find whatever it is that you were looking for, Derek.
