He was 18. His mom found him. I just can’t wrap my mind around the horrific suffering they are going through. It happened today. Oh, life. It can be so so cruel.

My friends’ son killed himself on his birthday (July 4) last year. He lived in another state; the cops knocked on their door around 3 am.

Hugs to your boss and the family. They’ll need all the support they can get. Just listen.
