Sorry about your friend mike; I know it's a rough thing to
contemplate. I only knew one person who killed themselves and I
remember it clearly to this day...
I had bad news too. My brother in law is dying. He's in the hospital
now and his liver, kindeys and brain are shutting down. He's got some
brain damage too and they say they doubt he'll make it. Sad for my
hubby as it's the third brother he's lost (one was only 21, another 35
and this one 42; leaving him only one brother and one sister left).
Glad I married the healthy one who doesn't ride motorcycles (the other
two died in motorcycle crashes). So it's rough.
All that aside, I hope every dad on here had a nice father's day (hey
my hubby won a recliner today!).
