I was on my way into town yesterday teatime for a night out. I was meant to be sticking to a couple of glasses of wine and soda waters.
I got a phone call on the way to tell me my cousin had committed suicide only 1 hour before. Well I was in shock and it was not expected. He was such a happy go lucky guy and although I have seen little of him in adult life I idolised him at school and spent a lot of happy years with him and his siblings growing up.
Anyway the news was enough for me to say b**locks to the diet for one night and I hit the wine not in a major way but I decided for one night a few more glasses than intended would not hurt.
Feeling OK this morning just feel for everyone that is left behind. My hubby thinks its a cowards way out so I am not getting sympathy from him. He sees it very black and white. I agree it is a cowards way out but how desperate must one be feeling to do it. What state of mind would one be in to do it in the garage where your wife or 3 kids under 6 might find you?
All these questions and no answers. How lonely must he have been feeling to not be able to talk his problems through with anyone
I am going to make a coffee as I am welling up writing this
On a brighter note is summer finally here what a lovely morning the sun is shining and I am planning on spending the day in the garden
