re: WFDT: This time, for real!

La Pinata Special for me Chimichangas for the wife. Chips and salsa for everyone. 3 chocolate mint patties for me and 3 for her afterwards. Sam's afterwards to return/replace incorrectly purchased ink jet cartridges. Perfect date night.

Three seldom used vacation days starting tomorrow.

Damn, Glass. I am so sorry about that.

You as a Georgia native have probably heard of one of his businesses.

ETA: Thanks Alma and MD. Y'all are good dudes.

Hundreds of people there. Probably talked to him.

What a tragic legacy for his children. So very, very sad.

Get the Tower Special.

Thinking of you, Glass.
Hope things start to become more understandable.

I'm glad his body was found. Would have been much tougher on his family waiting and hoping it would show up or imagining other awful things. I don't believe in "closure", but I do believe in getting past certain "humps" or steps in grief and hopefully reaching the point of being able to tolerate the event allowing people to move forward with their lives.

Had a really close cousin pass away young a year ago and there was no funeral. He didn't want one and he didn't want to be buried. He was cremated which is fine, but we only had a casual gathering which was more like a reunion about a month after he died. I still feel like I'm sort of hanging and haven't crossed over one of the "humps". Mainly, it still doesn't seem quite real.

He must have been going through some serious stuff. You just don't know sometimes. Could have been a chemical imbalance of some sort that was beyond his control. I don't even know your friend, but these things always bother me so for the person who goes and, certainly, the loved ones who live on.

I'm questioning a lot about the world right now.

Don't question your world because of his. As you indicated, he had his own shoes. I don't think it's about not feeling loved. I know some good people who left this world by their own hands. I know some folks who have chemical imbalances and that's hard stuff, too. The body chemical change and if they don't get things adjusted right away, they go into bad places that all the love in the world cannot fix. I nearly lost two very dear people due to that. Fortunately, one was not successful and was able to get the treatment she needed and now is a happy happy person. The other got the needed changes having nearly left us and is also now a very happy person, as well, but if something changes in either of them, they have to go get help quickly and not everyone does that on time or even knows to do it when the depression sets in. I don't understand it, but I've sure seen it. Your friend may have had something similar that no one knew about. I wonder if it could have been genetic. Perhaps his family will get some counseling to help them through this and look for any signs in his children. Prayers for them and for you.

Pizza.
