Remember the time that I spilled the cup of apple juice in the hall

2010 has been a rough year for me, and when i told a friend of mine that yesterday she said "your year makes mine look like a cake walk" there's always someone out there whose having a worse day, dealing with something you could never understand....

This morning i came into work a half hour late, thinking about everything, all the stress of finding a new place, of arguing with my dad (whom by the way refuses to speak to me) and of all the little things. My brain was so full of myself when a co-worker walked up and told me that our VPs son hung himself last night. He went missing after work, he called his parents to say goodbye, and they found him this morning. He was 17.

He worked with us this summer and during our move, he seemed pretty happy actually. Shaun, our VP, and a happy person in general, spoke about his son with alot of pride. His office is littered with pictures of him. They just got back from a family vacation yesterday.


As everyone spoke about it, i spoke about work. Not because im cold but because there is no amount of what ifs that can produce an answer for why someone so young felt that he'd had enough. He had no idea that the feeling of being alone fades, that problems always get solved, that pain heals with time, and that time takes time.

So today im going to ask my fellow follwers to pray, if you pray that is.

for all the kids out there who feel that their problems are too big for them to push through another day with them.

and then maybe we could all thank whatever or whoever put us here, that we all woke up this morning and got to feel the sun on our faces. 


Now im off to work. enjoy your day... seriously, lets enjoy this wednesday, happiness is contagious and theres someone near you who needs to see a smile.
