Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, David. It's now been 2 1/2 years since you left us and this is our third Christmas without you. We still think of you daily. I shed a few tears for you almost every day. I know you're at peace in heaven and that gives me some comfort. The columbarium at church is done. We're having your cremains interred soon. Hopefully that will somehow give me some peace and closure (if that's even possible).
I continue to volunteer with various suicide prevention efforts and attend suicide support meetings. In addition to being life-ending, suicide is so utterly devastating and life-changing to loved ones. I just hope that somehow your LiveJournal can be a positive influence and perhaps encourage someone who may be suicidal to be pro-active and ask for help. I also hope that better awareness may educate all of us to be more cognizant of possible suicidal behaviors and to take appropriate action.
Happy Holidays,
Mary Wylie
