Friday sadness!

This isn't a regular day's sayings but just some random thoughts. Last nite my grand daughter called to tell me yet another person she knew committed suicide with a hand gun. She is only 22 yet in the last several years 6-8 people she went to school with have killed themselves and most used guns. I have to ask why does a teen ager have a gun? I don't blame it on the gun because all of them were also using drugs, most of them on meth. But when I was that age I would have had no idea where to get a gun. My dad had hunting rifles but they were locked and the key for the lock was also locked away.

What makes these kids so depressed that this is the only solution they see? Why don't they know that this too will pass? My GD found her daughters daddy with his head literally blown off, a year later his best friend did the same thing and the girl that shot herself was the daddy's ex wife! Is it a matter of the sick people all tend to hang around together? Do they think for one second what this will do to their loved ones and friends?I know what GD went thru for that next year, it was not pretty what it did to her. I dread the day GD or we have to explain to her why her daddy isn't here. She knows her daddy is in heaven but she doesn't really understand what death is at 4 yrs. old.  Every time I see some adorable thing she does I always think about her daddy and what he is missing. Thankfully GD is still in very close touch with the little one's grampa on her daddy's side so the little one has a good and close relationship with him. In fact he is our next door neighbor so we have a little family compound out here in the country.

It's just so sad and breaks my heart that these young people have so little hope of good things to look forward to that they choose this as a solution. 

I wish you all a happy and restful weekend and please say a prayer for all these lost souls.

God bless!
