Back and enjoying the read
« on: October 30, 2015, 09:15:02 PM »
Although I've never been a prolific poster here, I've always enjoyed the read, and always enjoyed reading the CC take on the DUmmies.  I would come in, read, leave, post every now and then, etc.

19 weeks ago today, I walked in the door after work and found my 19 year old son dead on the floor from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.  I've kind of withdrawn from the on-line world as my family tries to put the pieces of our lives back together again.  But I popped in here yesterday, read a few posts, and a smile creeped onto my face.

It's not the first smile, but it did feel good to be back among "friends".

Best of luck with your tribulation.  I wouldn't even pretend to understand what that is like.  Wishing you strength and understanding, going forward.

So sorry for your loss.  I, like others have no idea what you must be going through.

But glad to found some humor here. I also read a lot and don't post much.

Reading what goes on at the DUmp it sad and halarious, and sometimes unbelievable all at the same time.

We have been hit hard in the past 2 weeks with deaths in our family.  None were by suicide, but the angel of death does not discriminate.  Prayers to you and your family for God to bless you with peace and strength.

My condolences and prayers as well. There have been times I've been very afraid I might walk in on the same such scene with my 19 year old. I'm still worried. I'm so sorry for your loss
