Well, I've lost multiple important figures in my life due to suicide. This has caused me to feel very strongly about it.
The first one was this 8 year old boy named Jon. He was at our house everyday, and he was like my little brother. We had many good times together. But when his parents announced that they were moving to a different state, he didn't want to go. Since he was so young, I don't think he understood the concept of suicide. He didn't know that he was gonna be gone forever. His dad found him hanging in the closet. They think that me may have injected 2 marijuanas, and that was an influence on the decision of suicide.
The second case probably affected me the worst of all of them. My dog, Thunder, best damn coon dog you ever did meet. That ol' boy would chase a coon or rabbit or squirrel for miles. I 'member one time, I had injured a bullfrog, and it escaped up a tree. Thunder went after him without a second thought. They bounced back and forth on them branches like a spring. Finally, the bull frog took a dive away from the tree, and make a break for a nearby pond. I look at Thunder, and he looked at me. I said "Don't jump boy.... don't do it.." He looked at me almost as if he was saying "It's either me or the frog" and he j-jumped...
Sorry guys I'm gonna go grab a tissue I'm really having a hard time.
Thunder never did catch that bullfrog....
And then finally, my moms only son committed suicide. The cops said there were traces of cocoa butter and dollar store brand aftershave around him when they found him. An eye witness even told the police "Yeah he was yelling about "The niggers are after me! They want my wallet" but we weren't sure what he was talking about." But this suicide was different. The cops have summed it up like this.
He spent all of his money on a 32 inch Bowie Knife (which was the weapon of suicide), because his wallet was empty and he had 17 stab wounds on his chest. They later found the knife in the water under the bridge they found him at. He must have thrown it in before bleeding out. They are amazed that he was able to stay conscious after the first self-inflicted wound, so they confirmed that he was under the influence of Tylenol PM and Calamine lotion (Which is apparently a very common drug in the area).
Yeah, I've had some messed up stuff go on in my life. I'm pretty hardened t stuff like this, so I don't mind talking about it. If you need anything Help Bot, let me know.
