fallen asleep. As soon as it rang, I knew she had passed. But I wasn't expecting to hear what happened next.
My dad was very soft spoken and clearly upset and said, "Tommy (the uncle who was the nurse for her I was telling you about) killed himself too."
I just fell to the ground. We were close to. I had a long conversation with him before I left. He showed no signs of wanting to commit suicide, though I know it's the ones who never show it who actually do.
I haven't slept a wink. How do you move past something so horrific in your family?
I just held my cellphone all last night clinging to the hope that it wasn't true or for some angel to call me and console me. Neither happened.
This morning, I learned that he got into his truck, went onto a busy 2-way Oklahoma highway and tried to hit a tractor-trailer head-on but missed....Don't know what he hit, but he still died. He wasn't even 60.
My whole family will never be the same. This is so, so, so awful.
I called my Bible study teacher this morning and I would like to meet her for breakfast because she is so amazing and full of wisdom. She hasn't called me back yet. I'm literally taking this one minute at a time. This sucks.
