(((El)))

Suicide is so horrible for the ones left behind.
My best friend's brother got back from Iraq and hung himself. The family is just shattered.
My thoughts are with you. What a shame.

I haven't been able to reach my sister since we heard. I'm anxious to see how Tony is doing. Regardless of their current marital situation, he's been part of the family for about 9 years now, so we still love him and I feel so bad for him. I'm thinking they may be working on contact with his friend's family this afternoon.

I extend my condolences and my prayers and my compassionate concern to those who have been hurt and diminished by the death of a loved one by suicide. I have been there. It summonded up feelings of deep and profound sorrow, then guilt and of anger. Peace comes much later. I think the most important message to the survivors is that it is never about what they did or didnt do. Suicide is a personal decision of the deceased. It always has unanswered questions, and the effect on the survivors may disclose anger or a lack of appropriate regard of the deceased for them.

My prayers are with your BIL and all the others who are effected by this tragedy. Life is precious and holds so much promise, that it's needless termination is always a tragedy--but never a cause for guilt!

Ya, so great, I was just getting over Jaws and here's this shark. I barely stick my toes in the water at Sand Beach for two reasons - one, it's too freaking cold and two, I'm never sure a huge mechanical shark isn't going to spring out of the water, get me and drag me into the ocean. I'm taking no chances.

I weed a three foot circle around them. Tomatoes can rot on the plant before I'll get too close. I seriously think I'd have a panic attack if I got one on me. But still, they're like a really bad traffic accident, I can't help but look.

I took a bunch of first to third grade Brownies to my camp for a weekend. We spent the second day swimming and playing and everyone was tired out. The adults were sure the girls would fall asleep quickly and we'd have a few minutes of peace and quiet before we went to bed. Then Lindsay got up to get a drink, carefully stepped over sleeping bodies sprawled all over the place, didn't wake a soul until...."OH MY GOD A BIG FAT HAIRY TARANTULA SPIDER!" And that was the end of sleeping girls and peace and quiet.

Barn spiders creep me out too. Ever vacuum up a huge spider? They make sickening thuds going down the hose and into the canister. So this is nice bedtime conversation. If anyone hears screaming from this direction at 3 am just roll over and go back to sleep. It's just me and my nightmares.

I'll have only half the nightmares I expected. The shark is a hoax. I found in in Snopes. I'm still not going in the ocean.

Beautiful. Painfully young. That's a fun age... I knew everything then. That feeling drifted away, but it was great while it lasted...

Knowing it was a hoax doesn't make me feel any better either...lol
