The last few days all I have been hearing or reading is the whole issue on suicide, and it's bringing back memories of a good friend who took her life four years ago. Last week, I finished an assignment on suicide (which was fine), then I watched a movie in my sociology class about suicide, and now I just herd a song on the radio about suicide. How depressing can it get? I miss her a lot and I just wanted to let her know in Heaven that I was thinking about her. I sure hope she is doing ok up there.

Song: Blaine Larson - How do you get that lonely

It was just another story written on the second page
Underneath the Tiger's football score
It said he was only eighteen, a boy about my age
They found him face down on his bedroom floor

There'll be services on Friday at the Lawrence Funeral Home
Then out on Mooresville highway, they'll lay him 'neath a stone...

How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
Is better than the life that you had
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
How do you get that lonely... and nobody know

Did his girlfriend break up with him, did he buy or steal that gun?
Did he lose a fight with drugs or alcohol?
Did his Mom and Daddy forget to say I love you son?
Did no one see the writing on the wall?

I'm not blamin' anybody, we all do the best we can
I know hindsight's 20/20, but I still don't understand...

How do you get that lonely, how do you hurt that bad
To make you make the call, that havin' no life at all
Is better than the life that you had
How do you feel so empty, you want to let it all go
How do you get that lonely... and nobody know

It was just another story printed on the second page
Underneath the Tiger's football score...

~Lots of love, and miss ya girl~
