As most of my friends and family know, I am not the type of person to put my business out to the public. In fact, I rarely communicate my feelings or problems with the ones who I love the most. My Private life is just that, private. I have always felt that SUICIDE is a cowardly way to take yourself out of a situation, as major as your problems might be. I have felt that way as recently as when Robin Williams committed suicide. I couldn’t understand why someone would do such a thing. Yesterday my opinion on this subject has changed. My oldest nephew Diego had a SUICIDE attempt yesterday. I say attempt because he is still alive on a respirator admitted in a Neurology Intensive Care Unit with an absolute small chance of survival. I am not a religious person by any mean, but please keep him in your thoughts. He is going to need something amazing to happen if we have any hope in him coming home. This kid had so much going for him! He was an amazing free hand artist who could draw anything. He taught himself how to play the guitar from YouTube videos. (You can see his videos here: https://youtube/channel/UCujYpFBYeq6Kh38Qj4D0Ssg). We had spoken about him joining the Navy upon graduation from high school this year. He was so excited for the upcoming adventure he was about to embark upon. He loved his little sister and brother with all of his heart and they looked up to him in every aspect! I have so many great memories with him ranging from playing soccer (and I don’t play soccer) with him in the park, to him playing a new song he learned. I remember starting an IV on him when he was an infant at a local hospital after his nurse attempted a half dozen times. It hurt me to watch her try over and over. This is the closest that I have come to dealing with a SUICIDE, and it has been absolutely devastating to the ENTIRE family. SUICIDE of a family member is something that I would not wish upon anyone. I just hope my message gets out to at least ONE person who has contemplated or attempted SUICIDE. It is not an easy way out. It does not only affect you, but it affects the HUNDREDS of people who have a connection to you. PLEASE seek help! There are so many recourses out there that can assist you in overcoming your pain or suffering. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take the help that is there! I understand there is a stigma to SUICIDE, but with help you can overcome it! Don’t be scare to ask for help! SUICIDE is never the answer. SUICIDE is a PERMANENT solution to a TEMPORARY problem. If you know someone or even if you feel someone is thinking about SUICIDE please seek help for them. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Your small gesture might save a life and in turn, keep a family together. suicide.org/
