The Bible and all religious books, are stories and tales of Life and Death, sadness and great joy, hope and despair ..more.hope and Salvation [in the main]
Without books of this nature the world would be a different place, yes some books are doctored to suit the reader, and when relayed in story form often lost in translation or manipulated to fit a cause or train of thought.
Though ultimately the fundemental part and detail of the story shine through in all religious books..........by hearing the story you gain insight to its meaning, and understanding of its intent as a story.........[the message it gives you]
Alffe without people like you and so many others, the sad story of suicide would not be heard. It would remain a chasam of mystery, despair, and pain.
Just by telling the world about your son Michael, he lives on in the lives of those your story has saved and will continue to save from this forever descision.
The seeds you sow in your story, like many religious stories, ......blow around in the wind a while......take root a while then wither....but SOME take root, and through your strength and conviction to the story............they help write a new chapter..that someone else will narate to others in need of hope, forgiveness, understanding, empathy, love,
The good thing about any story, is if its repeated enough times, its remembered................and re-told
