just gathering my thoughts....& wondering if u still stop by.....
Where were the signs?
Have U ever called a friend to see how their Thanksgiving was? ...and their girlfriend answers his cell ......and tells you "Matt is no longer with us"...."He hung himself"...... I still can not digest it.

Where there any signs? Did we (his friends) just not listen to him when he shared what was going on in his life? Why didn't he feel comfortable reaching out? What happened that day that he felt hanging himself was THE answer? Would he have taken his life if it wasn't the "holiday season"? What were his last thoughts? How long was he mulling over the method of his demise? Was he sad?, angry?, scared?, past emotions?
His Obit said "We miss him, his smile & loving heart"...did he know that? and if so, why didn't he believe it?
I'm going to call my family and friends this week. I want them to know I love them. Nothing is so important in my life which excuses me from staying in touch. I don't want to have this feeling again....ever....I now wish I would've made a call last Sunday.
Bye Matt

Wow, I'm so sorry.....what horrible news.
Makes me want to call all of my friends right now.
Thanx Leesa....I know..I felt the same way....kinda puts the little shit in perspective huh??/ M
so....Brico sends me a personal email...before I read it...I thought wow..how thoughtful for him to send his condolances via email....but all the note said was "I didnt want to leave a public comment, but your title should read "were there any signs". ( I had written where there any signs?) The rest of his comment said something about not wanting to be my grammar coach.
I changed the title.....and thanx for the heads up Brico.
Next time though???....stay a while...read and comment on the goings-on of the BLOGGERS life.....an internet hug or something would've been nice inbetween the funerals I seem to have peppered my holidays with this season.
Namaste'.............M
