This won't happen a lot, but I feel like this is a special occasion.
Lynx, my gorgeous sister, I know you're facing some SERIOUSLY difficult things right now, but I just want today I'm so fortunate to have a sister like you. You're an incredible human being and you don't deserve any of the challenges life has thrown you, but I thank God that they were because they've shaped you into the amazing person that you are today.
Simmi, I only ever met you twice, but I know you touched my sister's life, and I am so grateful to you for that. I don't know why you did the things you did, but I pray that you are safe now and that you're happier <3 you were a beautiful girl and a role model to everyone who knew you.
Rest in peace <3
Taryn you amazing girl <3 one of my closest friends and an unbelievable inspiration to all. I know you just lost a friend, and I don't even know how to express my sympathy, to you or Lynx... It's bad enough that one person has to experience it but when two people you're so close to are experiencing the same thing... I'm lost for words <3
To everyone that knew Simmi or Yogi, I'm praying for you, for strength, courage and God's hand of healing and protection around you <3
Yogi, you were evidently a wonderful person, so many people love you and will cherish your memory forever, I never knew you but I know are with God now <3
Suicide is such a huge problem that as little as we like it, we may all have to face in our lives and that's devastating... I know of too many people, whether I've known them personally or not who have taken their lives for reasons only they will know. I promise that there IS a answer to your problems, fears and pain that doesn't involve taking your life. It is okay to not be okay, I promise.. If you feel like life isn't worth living anymore, think about the happy memories you have had, think about your future and where you could be in 10 years.. Working, a mother, a father, traveling, who knows you could even be famous! You'll never get there if you're too afraid to try, if you're too unwilling to even see tomorrow, how will you see the employment contract, your baby's face, the Eiffel Tower, your parents, friends, family, smiling as they watch you grow old and succeed... It's not the answer, things WILL get better, and at the risk of sounding like a Bible-punching preacher, God can and he will help you through it if you just ask him to. I'm not an expert at this guys, I have no history of being suicidal, but I know people who have been and I know of people that acted irrationally as a result of their emotions... Think it through... Is it really worth the pain, the effort even, the time and the pain everyone else will go through, why don't you just work through it, speak to someone, speak to me, I'm always available for anyone to speak to, I can't promise sound advice, but I can promise a shoulder, a punching bag...
