I don't get it. I never get it when someone takes their own life. It's just such a waste. Not realising what one could become, not knowing if things could have been different. Someone so young as well, with so much potential. Was it a case of not getting enough affirmation? Was there something we could do to save you? Or was it just a slow seeding depression from which there simply was no coming back from? There's no easy answer. And maybe, there's really no need to find one any more. Just to grieve, and embrace him in our memories. And even though we've only met twice, I feel that it was such a waste. But at the same time, I know his memory will not be, having touched the hearts of the people who knew and loved him. You'll live on in their hearts for what and who you were, and not only for what could have been, and not only as a distant memory. Rest well young man. You will be missed.
