Life is a journey - who knows why and for what reasons things happen??? Ups and downs are part of it for all of us and I'm sure there are days we all feel we've reached our breaking point...

Times like these - you try to forge ahead, knowing and hoping something better awaits you further along in the journey but you need to continue the journey to find out what it is....

Along the way you meet people; friends, who don't judge, but just understand and come along for the ride....these are the people who can help guide you through your personal journey and love and respect you for who you are.

Keep your chin up and a smile on your face - your friends here will always be here for you....

I have a friend that is dealing with the same things as you are right now. You should get yourself into a abuse help group of some sort as soon as you can.

There are people here that love you and, I would bet, are loved by you. As was already stated, there are good things awaiting you in the days, months, years to come. But you will not realize them if you are dead. What kind of good things could there be, you may wonder? It could be a lot of different things, but there are mornings when a beautiful sunrise over Mt. Rainier makes me glad to be alive. Having Lil call me Mr. Sugar Pants makes me glad I'm alive. Seeing people here bare their souls to help another Pixie makes me glad I'm alive. Everytime my daughter says 'I love you Dad', you better believe I'm glad to be alive. Stick around and talk to us Larry... it won't be easy, but if you hold on you'll see that it's worth it to be alive.

When you're alive you can wake up to things like this...

You've got some big steps ahead of you but the sun will shine, too.

LarryL,

I've just read each of the posts above. I was touched by the warmth and sincerity of each one. Passionate pleas for you to reconsider your decision, weren't they? If you can't answer that, go back and read again...I'll wait. Now then, if you have those people wanting you so badly to live, don't you think that you've found one reason, just one reason, to go on with life??? One reason is enough. One reason is hope. A chance. It's something to hang on to. One reason to live. Those words did not magically appear, nor were they some technical trick. They came from real live people. People that genuinely care about you. They took the time to put pen to paper (so to speak) for you. If people that you've never met face to face feel that passionately about you, think about the people that you touch day to day. Think of the people that depend on you. That care for you and about you. That love you.

Now I'd like to add my name to that list. I do care for and about you. I won't condesend to say that I love you, I don't know you that well. But I do know you enough to call you a freind. You have a warmth that you express and exude with a grace and ease. I honestly look forward to each and every sentiment you express on here.

In other words...

DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!! LIVE!!!!!!!!!
