Well, personal stuff is personal stuff ... but everyone here shares a lot. It is time to come clean. I don't want pity, just want to let you all know what is going on in the world of TR. Last April ...... 17th to be exact, I got a disturbing cell phone call. My son in law in Florida, a police officer took his own life. He shot himself in the head with his service weapon while watching my grandaughter and was there for my daughter to find when coming home from her job as a police officer as well. She was pregnant with his child. Zack was born on June 26th. He goes in for surgery tomorrow for pilorec stenosis. Not a big deal, but still, it is stressful for all involved. I will be down there this Saturday. I didn't say anything at first .... I don't know why cause you guys are my friends. It will be a happy time though and I plan to bore you with pictures just to warn you. Just send all your positive energies Zacks way please. ( That means prayer if you are religous) :lol: I will be with him soon. I will see to it h grows up to play the guitar. It is my duty.

My condolences to you and your family, TR.
My thoughts and prayers will be with your daughter and your grandkids.
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
May god help your family in this tough time.
My blessings for the kids... :)
sending you some strength for your journey.
all the best.
My condolences to you and your family. Zack is a good, strong name, my youngest is Zack. We'll be thinking about you and your family.
As someone who knows too well, make sure you have someone for your grandkids (and daughter) to talk to. My mom took her own life the same way when I was 18 and it's taken me years to deal with it. Guilt is a normal stage of the grief process, but those left behind by suicide often get stuck in that stage. I finally got some help a few years ago and have accepted that there wasn't anything I could have done to prevent it.
Oh, man!
I've just been praying for all of you. God bless you!

Thanks everyone, your support means alot!

Yes, that's sad, tragic.
Praying that you all have the strength to go on - time and your intervention, plus hard work will make a difference.

like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
Suicide is hard to come to terms with. I hope you and your family can find something about which you can be happy at this difficult time.
