Just found out my cousin, jumped off a bridge overlooking the major expressway here. As you could imagine, this forced the closure of the entire expressway for hours. His name was Ken. Had a TBI, and struggled with depression, as do I, which was a shared hurt. His father, who's across the country, refuses to come claim the body. Some people still refuse to care, even after death, I guess.

RIP, dear Ken. I know the pain is gone now, my friend. :o

:(I'm so sorry Rehab, just a few weeks ago, my cousin was beaten by her boyfriend, and then he left the house, the next morning he went back and she was dead. It seems people who you think will always be there are gone one day, and you just wish you could have helped or stopped it somehow. But we can't. Just know I will be praying for you and your family. Hugs to you across the miles. Let us know how you are doing, and know we are all here for you.:heartbeat
