I'm starting to be very thankful

that I am not a mother. A friend of mine lost her 22 year old son to suicide on Thursday.  I cannot even begin to fathom her pain. Her family has been through so much tragedy over the years; comparable to the Kennedy's in their losses. Kris lost 2 sisters to ovarian and breast cancer, and she is in the midst of a divorce.  Now to have to lose her son like this.  I honestly don't understand how some people almost seem chosen to experience the deepest, darkest valleys known to mankind.  I'm not able to go back to MI for the funeral as I just found out about it today.

This may seem very selfish, but I am honestly grateful that I will never have to know the pain of losing a child. 

Mom - this is a friend of Ann Vezina and mine.

I cannot even imagine the pain, especially suicide.
