Saturday evening, a friend of mine killed himself. He was the father to 2 young kids, 8 and 5. He was a husband to a beautiful, fun, lovely wife. He was 32 years old. An entrepreneur and business owner.
All of those things considered, he left a message on his Facebook page at 5:30pm. He was found dead at 7:30 by his wife and kids as they returned home from an outing.
Though there may be differences of opinion, politics, religion, sex, race, creed, and everything else, I want to encourage anyone who is struggling in your life to reach out to ANYONE. The embarrassment you will feel will be far less consequential than the pain your friends feel from having to bury you.
I posted this because this morning, his wife posted this to his Facebook page: To see your children afraid to walk in your own house because their daddy died n wake up every few minutes with nightmares n no one able to eat or catch their breath n feeling like u have the world on your shoulders n having disrespectful people post a photo of their happy time with my husband is too much for me today. Can someone please put it in Spanish in case I get any more surprises. Thank you
Understand that one momentary decision will affect generations to come. You can call me, or message me, and I'll do whatever I can to help you through that moment which will pass. I wish I had that choice with him.
