| Posted by Maureen Glaude on 02/14/04 at 12:42 AM Yes, from your journal including his closing letter, it appears his mind was made up. How tragic that he felt so oppressed by this world. You begin to come to terms with it vividly here, Anne. A long process I'm sure, for you are left with the others, to feel the pain. Know you're not alone. |

| Posted by Rula Shin on 02/17/04 at 08:29 PM Beautiful. I feel your heart throbbing somehow...maybe it's the title. An aching but tremendously beautiful tribute. |
| Posted by Max Bouillet on 02/17/04 at 10:47 PM I read the journal entry and do not know what to say. The pain that must go into a decision of this magnitute is beyond me. I hope you are doing fine. |

| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 02/19/04 at 02:35 PM Your short poem has quite the sad impact. Reminds me of my high school days, when a fellow student chose the same route...and method of departure. |
