Well, Just Damn It

Just heard that the son of a friend of mine committed suicide today.  That's going to wreck his family's Mother's Day from here on out. 

He was a college kid, a good kid, at home due to the shutdown.  A whole lot of talent and promise.

His grandfather had died in early April, not from Covid, but in his sleep basically of old age, and the kid had been very upset about that and a lot of the things that have been going on these days. Now it will be two funerals  for that family, each a month apart.

Look, it's getting rough out there.  This situation and lock down is hard on everybody.

If you need help, get it.

If you feel the need to talk to someone, call and talk to a friend, a therapist whoever.

No one will think any less of you if you do.

We'd all rather you stick around to see what comes next and to live to see things get better.  Hang in there.
