My older brother's only child killed himself last night. I do not know the details. I cannot say I knew him well but I know he would have been despondent. He broke up with his longtime girlfriend a couple weeks ago - moved back with the parents. He was a gentle soul and his life revolved around this love. I guess he could see no tomorrow worth being part of. Stupid me - maybe it was not like that at all. Who really knows? I believe he is gone and I do know there is a huge rip in the fabric of my close family.

I need to say - I love you all.
Leon was not too unlike his uncle, but I want you each to know - I will not check out anytime soon !
Please find a reason to do likewise !
I see suicide's justification as every loving hand - is too far to reach. Just too far....
I am here most every day.

Be well
sweet sleep
