One of My Neighbors Just Killed Himself Saturday
Posted in Personal on November 14th, 2005It’s not something you want to see on your block. This Sunday afternoon as I was leaving my house I saw a van from Crime Scene Cleaners just two doors down. If you don’t know who these guys are, they are the people that get paid a lot of money to cleanup some really gross stuff. I wonder what happened, and today I found out. It turns out there was a guy that lived just two doors from me who had gotten divorced this past December. Apparently, he was depressed, and so he shot himself. I didn’t know him, but I really wish I had. I went by his house everyday and had no idea. I wish we could’ve talked becasue maybe I could have shared something with him from my horrible divorce experience that would have saved his life. Apparently, he was very quiet and didn’t have many friends. That definately didnt help him I’m sure. It always astounds me when somebody decides to commit suicide. I immediately remembered a college friend who shot himself over a woman. (I can tell you that story someday for those who want to know.) For me this all is the ultimate loss of perspective. What an incredible pity.
