ugh..my modem is acting up, so replying is taking forever.

Sox, same type of family history with me. I found out the truth the summer that I was 12.

Wiz, those kids are blessed to have your mom and you, plus the family for support. No children should have to suffer such grief.

Alffe...you know you are going to tease.

Suicide may not touch everyone in the same way or as strong. But it does touch.

As I stated, some people haven't known if they fit in here if wasn't a direct family member. Suicide touches everyone.

Not everyone feels ok to share their personal story or stories. That is ok. There aren't rules about that. I don't for personal reasons. Not all of my family knows, some don't care to and other want to keep it hushed.
