I went up north to my parents camper for the weekend. I brought my puppy with me. We weren't two towns over before he pooped in my truck. I couldn't stay mad at him because he is getting old and he was definitely excited to come with me.
There was a little bit of my family up there. My parents, My sister her boyfriend and her kids, My Aunt Mary and her Husband Brian, and my Uncle Chuck We had a massive Barbeque. Pulled Pork, Brisket, Ribs, Chicken, and Chili. Way more food than we needed and I definitely paid for it with some bad heartburn.
The Camp was supposed to have Fireworks for the Fourth on Saturday but it was too windy, so, they were postponed until next week. I'm unsure if I'll go back up or not. I mean all firework shows are the same. I'm not saying I don't like them. I just don't see the big deal. Let's Celebrate America's freedom with something that was invented in China. I just find it kind of funny.
Who needs fireworks when you can stare at this?
There's a great view from my parents Camper.
Sunday wasn't a bad day to begin. I just wish it stayed that way...
It was quiet like it usually is up there. Around 8 at night that changed when one of the owners of the camp came running towards their house telling his wife to call 911 and stay on the line. A campers girlfriend hanged herself in his families trailer which is diagonally across from my parents. It was just him and his girl up there. I'm still having trouble understanding the whole thing. I guess she was there for awhile I just don't understand why he wasn't with her. I don't know if they had an argument earlier in the day or what.
This got to me. I didn't even know her and I was truly upset. It made me think that I need to get to know more people. I'm the guy that will listen even if I'd rather be doing something else. Putting others first makes me feel like I'm actually worth something and knowing there was someone that close that could of used someone to talk to really hurts. I'm tearing up typing about it. Listening is one thing that I'm really good at.
This really made me think. I've come to the conclusion that you can't save everybody it's tough to say but it's absolutely true. I almost lost a friend to suicide 2 years ago. We've become closer friends since then and she knows now that she can talk to me anytime and she seems to be a happier person now.
I know I didn't even know your name but I'm sorry that you were so sad that you decided to take your life. I wish that you knew that someone would of listened. Sometimes it's easier to talk to strangers. I'm so sorry you didn't find this one or someone else like me. Rest Easy.
