Hey everyone. Been a little off and on with the site lately. Not like I've posted a ton since I've been here, but it has sort of not been on my mind as of late.
WARNING: This post contains bummers and stuff that may make you sad, but too bad. It has to be said at this point.
On July 16, my family lost a very wonderful woman, my wife's aunt. She was going through some very tough times and just couldn't take it anymore. We all tried. We visited her. Talked with her. She had a new grandchild coming in September. Her son was going to be visiting from the military tomorrow. She took her own life. There was no indication that she would even try something like it.
Last night, we lost a member of RF Generation. Alfador (Dustin Foote) took his own life last night. I don't know all of the details of what he was going through as we only talked infrequently, but he was a good guy.
If you at any time feel that you need to talk to someone, please feel free to contact me. If you want/need my info, send me a PM and I'll happily let you know how to get me outside of the forums.
If you don't feel comfortable with that and you need help, call 1 (800) 273-8255 or visit
http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/. Things really can get better. I was dealing with depression myself to the point where I was on medication. It takes time, but things can get better. I'll certainly be there to try to help if you need.
