as some of you know i suffered a stroke a few months ago and i thought this was as tough as life could get, but i was wrong. my nephew who is 17 has been living with me for the past 12 years as his dad just didn't want to deal with him. recently he had moved back in with his father as they tryed to make it work. well it didn't. my brother pretty much told him he did not want him around and told him to get out. needless to say jeremy(nephew) was crushed and reached his breaking point today. i got a call from jeremy at about noon saying he was going to take his life. luckily he called me and i was able to keep him on the phone as we got the police to go to his house. they got there in time and have now baker acted him as he was going to do it and had the means to do it. times like this just make you stop and realise how small your own problems are. i basically raised jeremy and considered him a son the same as my own son who i lost a few years ago in a motorcycle accident. so any thoughts and prayers will help as we begin to understand and help him deal with this.
sorry for the long and rambling post but i just needed to get this out.
so as a preacher once told me hug your loved ones and tell them you love them as you do not know what tommorrow brings.
