I'm not usually a fan of this type of story, but this got to me. Well written, the pain and emotion came through. I had tears running down my cheeks.

About Me
Description
This is a blog about living with bipolar disorder, family, work, politics, current events, technology and programming, music and pop culture. As a Product Of The Seventies, it's also about that, and the remaining brain cells that are constantly struggling as a result. All thrown together by a mind that's been ridden hard, and put up wet

wow, that was sad.
Jon, this could not have come at a better time for me. I buried a cousin this week--a victim of his own mind. I took me to that dark place again. This gripping piece helped remind me to not give up. Thank you for the post.
Oh my gosh, that's how I often feel.In a way, there are 2 types of "Life Sentences".
AM - Sorry to do that to you, and it had the same effect on me. I did love it, though.
bamagal - I'm so sorry about your cousin. What a touching post you made, I hope you don't mind me sharing the link to that post:

Stephany - I'm sorry about your pain. How true that is, that there is more than one type of "Life Sentence".
grateful for you bringing to my attention.~t~
Hey - where are you??
It scares me that someday, someone can be writing the same words about me. It's a reality check...one that I am afraid I won't be able to cash.
thank you for sharing this.
cp.
I have a friend, a blogger, who could benefit from hearing what her mother and daughter would feel if she were gone. On the same token, I don't want it to push the wrong way.
Thanks all for taking the time to comment, and sorry I didn't respond sooner.
Txandi - no problem, thanks for stopping by.
DD - I'm around. I've just checked in with one reason I've been tied up. Hope things are well for you.
CP - it caused me to think, also.
Princess - I understand, this would be a tough piece to share with someone in crisis. You never know on what side things will fall.
