With that said, I have been thinking a lot this week about my old boss, Andy, from the Boys and Girls Club in SLC. I found out on Wednesday that he decided to no longer live and took his life, at the age of 24. I have always had a hard time with people who do this. It is not something my mind can really comprehend. I understand that their mind is obviously not in the right place, but it is so hard to think what you are going to leave behind. A child, family, friends? It never helps the situation to take yourself out. Life has been pretty bad at some points but never in my life have I thought of taking myself out. That is just not an option. I want to LIVE. I want to experience life with my family and friends. I want everyone to have the best life they can.
Sorry, for this tangent, but it is something I have been thinking about since Conference really.

I know exactly what you mean. I seriously think about Keith dying all the time. Especially when he comes home late and doesn't call. Death is scary, but it definately helps knowing we'll be together again.
that's so sad when you hear of someone you know who committed suicide. it like convinces yourself even more that you want to live because there's so much to live for. i always get sad "what if" thoughts like that about paul and penny. it's like, how do you move on from that? that's why you have to enjoy every minute! :)
