Sad Times

My wife and stepdaughter and I were on a very relaxing vacation last week at Conneaut Lake. Reading books, making art, walking and relaxing were the orders for the day. On Wednesday, after coming home from dinner, we found out that my stepson Mike had taken his own life. After many years of fighting the demons of depression, we all felt he was an an upswing in his life, but, alas, the demons won out and for this I am not only sad but angry.

I have not been a frequent blogger, but perhaps over the next days, weeks, months, years, perhaps I may learn to put down some of my thoughts and feelings over this tragic event. We will all miss him dearly, more than words can tell.
