It's probably crazy but the elephant is a protector for me. Because this elephant is in the room I have learned what loved ones go through when a loved one ends their life. I know that I do not want to put my loved ones through this kind of pain... the pain that may ease but never goes away.

I know now that there are others like me... those that have struggled and fought a very long fight to beat away the demons that make us want to commit suicide.

Many walk around this elephant, some try to push it out of the room, me I have embraced it and for that I am still here. I am learning to ride this elephant now for I feel if we become friends then talking about the elephant is not quite so scary.

Well...that's just my ramblings... hope it makes sense.
for all!!

It not only makes sense Abbie I am blinded by some tears here...
