Austin

[we_love_jim]

My little sister called me last night.
I was already asleep, so I listened to the message she left.
She was crying "Austin tried to kill himself."
I called her back and she was crying so much I could hardly understand her.
Austin was supposed to perform last night and I guess he had people over before.
She said something about blood.
I think she say him, I think he cut his wrists.
She had to go.
He had called me yesterday afternoon.
He answered his phone happy "JENNIFER!"
He was talking very fast & sounded very excited & told me that as soon as I had time I needed to come visit him in Marshalltown. Then he got off the phone fast saying "okay bye" before I had a chance to say much.
I haven't talked to my sister since, she's coming into town tonight.

A couple weeks ago he sent me somethign he had written, it was very dark and sad. He said he wanted to have it published and that he thought that it would end with him dying young. I told him we've had enough Kurt Cobain's & Janis Joplin's and that I hate funerals.
I should have taken it more seriously...

Please pray for Austin.
