Today is world wide suicide prevention day.

Please consider lighting a candle, near a window, at 8 PM in support of: suicide prevention awareness, survivors of suicide and for the memory of loved lost ones.

This issue is very personal to me.
September 11, 2007, I lost my beautiful funny, generous, gentle & kind son to suicide.
This event has profoundly impacted the lives of everyone who loved him.
If you are struggling, please reach out. And keep reaching out, until someone "hears" you.
Love you and miss you, Danny.
