Yesterday, a man was being interviewed about his son's suicide. He said that his son was an "orchid child"...highly sensitive to environmental stimuli, introverted (thoughtful, serious and reflective) and processed information deeply. So I Googled "orchid child" and lo-and-behold, it's a real theory. It says that most children are "dandelions"...grow and survive no matter what conditions, but the "orchid child" is rare and beautiful when blooming but needs the right conditions to flourish. That describes my son...does it relate to the one you lost?

Wow..I copied this from a suicide forum on FB....too sensitive for this world. ~sigh
