I have wanted to do this for weeks…maybe even months. My most recent experience with being a SOS happened one year ago this past Sunday.
Well, I will start with something that at the time was wonderful. My son got married on 07/07/07…it was so beautiful. We had an out door wedding up Logan Canyon. He married a young woman named Katey and she had a two year old, Lilley. Lilley called me Grammy and the Olhipie Papa…and of course, she called my son Daddy. My son and his new wife went on their honeymoon to spend time with my niece and her family. They were there for about two weeks and had the most wonderful time. About four days after they got back my son and his new wife were talking on the phone to my niece who lives in Oregon. They had the call on speakerphone and she was upset because her husband wanted to go for a drive so they could talk. She went to the car to wait for him, he said he wanted to kill himself…he walked into the house, locked himself in their bedroom and put a gun to his head. She heard the gun shot and ran with phone in hand into the house and broke into the bedroom and he was gone. My son and his wife were so traumatized from hearing the whole thing on their phone two states away in Utah. They live next door to us so they came right over to tell us what had happened…what do you do…what do you say…he did it with his children in the next room. It was a horrible thing. We so often want to be angry with the person who kills himself or herself because we feel it was such a selfish act…but I wonder how alone, very alone he had to be to do this. How sad for all of us. We did go out for the funeral and stayed for a few days. After we got home from the trip my son’s wife….Katey couldn’t bring herself back to being my son’s new wife. She was on the phone and text messaging my niece so she flew back to Oregon and has been there ever since. She is now partnered with my niece. My son and she are divorced after just a few weeks of marriage. So sorry this is so long…hope you all had patience with me. After a year my niece has finally gone back to work…I haven’t talked to her…the family is still very shocked by what Kate did to my son which is also tied with my niece. During the last year, I have had lots of good times and bad times I have had to face. Why does my heart have to hurt so much...
