Last night I learned that a 14-year-old boy from this area had committed suicide. That is the second boy in that family to perish at his own hand this year. Earlier, a 16-year-old had acted similarly. I can’t even imagine the grief that family members are experiencing.
As I thought about the loss, I wrote this haiku on a piece of scrap paper.
Broken teen age heart
His world shattered, despair reigns
Gun in hand, the end
My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
🙁
That is horrible news. It's so hard to be a teen–things seem so awful and endless at that age. If only we could give them the gift of perspective. I will keep them in my prayers.
Wow- bad times for sure. The family blame game will probably never stop.
Terribly sad post today, Chuck. Prayers here.
