I have mental illness too and so fair I'm O.K. I still need therapy, but then again, who doesn't these days?<br />David FoxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17449044065362074619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629436772073396833.post-66086204922633975092013-09-12T11:45:17.252-07:002013-09-12T11:45:17.252-07:00Dear Jean, Just yesterday I saw a show on the kill...Dear Jean, Just yesterday I saw a show on the killing of Native Americans at Wachita and was wondering how anyone, even Custer, wish to harm women, children and the elderly. Had a friend in Tallahassee who took his own life. His wife found him hanging in his art studio. Although they had no children, his wife and friends were devastated. None of us even knew Lee was depressed. He left the public television station after anchoring the 6 o'clock news and gave everyone a high five. Mental illness must be hidden sometimes. I wish more people would understand that in taking their own lives, they are hurting those who love them. Excellent poem!
