Heavy Subject

Today's new piece is something that has been weighing heavily on me this past week. Its not something you would usually talk about. It seems now a days you hear of younger people committing suicide for a number of reasons. It leaves one thinking of what can you do differently to change this outcome in someone you know.

Most of what I write is inspired by drawing from real life experiences. You may not not which part of a piece is something that I have pulled from something I or my children have or are going through.

For this particular piece I hope to inspire you to hug those close to you. You never know what they are going through or what you can do to help/change them.  Let them know they matter and tell them you love them. I try to tell my children every day that I love them. Sometimes they hear it, sometimes they don't. However I will now make sure they hear me.

If Only . . . .

If you or anyone you know feel suicidal or are having suicidal thoughts, please reach out to someone. Talk to someone. You do matter and there is someone who loves you.
