Thank you to all. And I think I'll stay out of the debate on suicide being
selfish.

I can't hate the person I know who did it. I miss her far too much. I will
always miss her. I will always wonder if I could have done more. It's been
over six years, and it still feels like a hole in my life. I have felt angry
that she didn't take the help that was offered (and it was offered, by many
people) but in the end, the fact that she's gone is much more to the point
than any other fact -- I wish she weren't.

re #149
Thank you for your comfort, but I have to agree with Twila. There is no way
I could ever hate Victor. Even more so now that he is gone.
While suicide is somewhat selfish, it is also very selfish to hate someone
because they are no longer around. What about the things the person was going
through at that point in time? Are they supposed to suffer needlessly because
we are attached to them?
I do not hate Victor, nor am I angry at him. I'm sad he's gone, and I dont
understand it. But he made his own choices, and even if we think they werent
the best, they were his to make.
re #148
Thank you, love. :hugs Anne:

I'm very sorry to learn about your loss, Staci.

I have been there, and so I very deeply empathize. I miss Tom a lot.
But all I got was an obituary in the mail, and so the closure was
rather... muted.

Fair enough, but that's your way - and mine. Not hers. She's chosen
her way to see things. Just respect it.

Also consider that Staci is only 15 and this is the first time she really has
had to deal with this sort of thing. Grandma was 96 and it was expected, our
friend Kelly died when Staci was 2, so she really doesn't remember it. These
are the only deaths she has had to deal with. I think she is taking it
remarkably well and with the right attitude.

I'm sorry mother, ubt this isnt my first real death. Victor is about the
fourth person this year, aside from family and Kelly. The difference being
Victor was a close friend, the others being people I barely knew.
Todd, I can understand what your saying, but I dont agree with it. I'm not
quite sure what else there is to say about it..
Again, thank you to all for kind words.

Either way, I was going to comment to Glenda and Staci that A) Staci, you seem
to be (from a totally on-line perspective) handling things well, and B) I'm
sorry. I watched my cousin go through losing one of her best friends when
she was a junior and it was hard to see her bearing that much pain.

Gonna be at work late tonight. :P (On the plus side, I'm paid hourly, so
at least it isn't unpaid overtime.)

I wasted several hours today trying to get answers from tech support
regarding my inability to get a network connection through the hub on my
desk at DCI. Eventually, I was informed that the switch had been
replaced with one that only allows a single connection per downstream
line. That configuration is absolutely counterproductive for the work I
do. It means I have to occupy a separate cubicle for every laptop I work
with at one time (in addition to the one my desktop machine is in).

IBB I have come to the realization that my sister-in-law (the one that is the
mother of my neice) is only nice to me when she wants something from me.
Otherwise, she considers me beneath here... I have concluded that I will not
paint her wall fresco or make her pillows in a fit of immature spit. These
observations where brought to my attention by my mother who found it rude of
said sister-in-law.
