I'll tell you what though...it sure is nice having a handyman husband!!
Who needs to read romance novels when ya got a handy dandy husband!!!! YAY! (psyche... I'll still read romance novels cause they make me happy too)
I finished reading The Ascenders. Man...it had so much potential to be an awesome book. It was right up my alley...life after death, parallel universe, portals etc. It just lost all it's awesomeness as it went for me.
And continuing on the life/death path ...I saw it's suicide prevention week.
I'm pretty sure I'm a little "off the wall " when this subject comes up.
I can't say I never thought about it for myself (who hasn't though...right?...or maybe not. Who knows.), but in my case it was fleeting - I'm just too curious and find joy in too many things.
I don't think you can stop someone from doing something that extreme if they're really in that place.
But!.... maybe they're not there yet?! so yep I'm totally for stopping suicide.
Why? Not cause I feel sorry for them but because it's such an abrupt ending to what could be an interesting story. (Maybe not always a happy one but interesting none-the-less....)
Like the end of this Brandon Jenkins song/story....did he follow through? I'd like to think he didn't pull the trigger and maybe there was something super interesting that happened in his life that made it worth finding out how his story turned out? (I don't know what...I'm a reader, not a writer!)
or...if it's a terminal illness I would hope he would consider moving to Oregon, Washington or Vermont (maybe California here soon too *crossing fingers*) to have the option to die peacefully instead...
Lord please forgive me for what I’m about to do
I’m runnin’ on empty, my options are few
You know that I did the best the best that I can
But I’ve done hit rock bottom my time is at hand
yeah, cause I lost my job my bills are getting bigger
Got a cryin’ baby ‘bout to lose my mind
Hundred dollar habit ain’t got a penny
My woman ran off with a friend of mine
I can’t keep a job I’m too fucked up
DHS about to take my kids
Tryin’ to get well I keep getting sicker
Got me Sittin’ in the parking lot my finger on the trigger
Sittin’ in the parking lot my finger on the trigger
You know that I never meant to hurt anyone
And I’ll face the consequences for all the things I’ve done
And Lord sometimes I wonder if you’re even there
Cause my burden is backbreaking, it’s more than I can bear
Cause I lost my job my bills are getting bigger
Got a cryin’ baby ‘bout to lose my mind
Hundred dollar habit ain’t got a penny
My woman ran off with a friend of mine
I can’t keep a job I’m too fucked up
DHS about to take my kids
Tryin’ to get well I keep getting sicker
Got me Sittin’ in the parking lot my finger on the trigger
Sittin’ in the parking lot my finger on the trigger
Sittin’ in the parking lot my finger on the trigger
Cause I lost my job my bills are getting bigger
Cryin’ baby ‘bout to lose my mind
Hundred dollar habit ain’t got a penny
My woman ran off with a friend of mine
I can’t keep a job I’m too fucked up
DHS about to take my kids
Tryin’ to get well I keep getting sicker
Got me Sittin’ in the parking lot my finger on the trigger
Got me Sittin’ in the parking lot my finger on the trigger
Sittin’ in the parking lot my finger on the trigger
Sittin’ in the parking lot my finger on the trigger
