It is so sad when one gets to the point where the wind ask's them to come home and they say yes. Sad thing it is not the wind they are hearing :-( Great write!

Wonderful piece Karla, a difficult subject to write about I feel....... can only imagine what it must feel like, when you have more pain either physically or mentally, than you can cope with, that you feel living is for others. Finding a way to cope and carry on needs the help and support of others, some folk have noone.

Powerful poem, Karla, and intriguing analogy to the Millionaire.

Many of the severely depressed folks contemplating suicide could probably use a caring soul like you to give them that lifeline.

Been there, almost done that, suicide that is, not jumping off a building and I realize this is not a funny subject, but it isnt the fall so much as the sudden stop that hurts...gotta laugh, or else I would have cried...Peace thru Life, Ed & Rufuz

(((Karla)))

Sobering, hardhitting write that captures the horror of what one goes through when they are thinking about suicide! Glad you and I are over those bad times now, and glad we never attempted it! Powerfully done! BRAVA!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn (who has been there, too, and know what it is like; glad God rescued us!). :( >tears <
