Oh man. I can't imagine as a child finding your dead father

(funnily but not really) I thought of my stepdad earlier in the where would you hide thread when someone said they'd hide in a deer stand on their dad's hunting land. My uncle took my niece shopping and gave his son's some of his stuff and the stuff he was saying to my aunt made her suspicious. Then no one could get in touch with him. She called the cops. He was living in Shreveport. A "man hunt" started. My stepdad found my uncle in Dubach in one of my family's many deer stands in their hundreds of acres of land

My stepdad was really fricked up from it. I can't even imagine being a kid and it's your dad

Just a month ago my best friend killed himself. We were like brothers and very close. He had gotten married 2 months prior. I was a groomsman in his wedding and he was supposed to be the best man in my upcoming wedding.
When I heard I was in complete shock, honestly I still am. I still struggle with it daily but I have to keep moving on for my own family. I feel absolutely terrible for his mother and wife. They will be scarred for the rest of their lives.

I know some of the details that led him to this, but never saw him making such a drastic move. He reached out to me and we talked about things, but I showed him tough love and told him to man up. I now question if I was too harsh. Had I just listened to him and talked more in depth with him about what he was struggling with, maybe I could have helped and he'd still be here.
I'll never now, but I sure as hell wonder and think about it every day. I miss him. Miss the crazy text and conversations, the laughs, the good times.
