Subject: RE: TAN #160: Just farTAN' around as usual ...Just got some terrible news: My cousin's son comitted suicide this afternoon. He had the day off school and shot himself. Apparently, freshman year wasn't going well and he was pretty depressed about it.
I remember feeling that those days meant I was destined to have a miserable life for the rest of my life. Every problem was new and unique to me: No one else felt that way or had these problems. I was an outcast and no one liked me.
But we ALL did. We were so insecure and felt as it was never going to change. If we could only prove to kids that it's not horrible; everyone feels like that and relax.
God: I'm numb over it. Don't know how to tell our 12yo daughter Anna. |
