One of my Miami nephews just lost a really close friend

to suicide. They have all remained best friends since Kindergarten days. I know him, his mom and his brother from the beginning (his dad has been bed ridden for well over a decade). My sis says she asked her son about him on Tuesday since she hadn't seen him at their home and they all walked in and out like family - parents and kids. He last sent email to my nephew on the 12th.

This young man was shy but always full of smiles and jokes for those he knew. There was never a sign of mental health issues. On the weekend he started hearing voices telling his mom and brother that the Russians were coming for him. They took him to hospital. The doctors said nothing was wrong with him and sent him home. Ah well. Then a few days later his brother called my nephew

My nephew says that in hindsight if he had to think about it, of the entire group this lovely kid would have been the one to commit suicide. It's too sad.
