Me too (to all 3). Still crying. He was so special.
I regret not being able to talk to him before he did it. I wish I’d known…even though it wouldn’t have made a difference :\ It would have to me. I’m thankful for all he gave me in the short period that I knew him.
@dragonfly_whisper You’re probably right. I have a specific regret anyway… and I marvel at the timing of everything. Ultimately, regrets are useless things to carry around…
Agreed. That’s a good lesson for everyone to keep in mind.
Same here. I’m glad you posted this. I read back on this comments, and I wish I had a chance to know him. It makes me so angry when I read about what people are commenting about in regards to his family and it being their fault, etc. People just don’t really realize the pain and hurt that comes with depression.
I imagine what his last moments were like…and am distraught. I can’t even begin to imagine this pain.
I miss his comments. His were some of the first I read when I found this, and his intelligence blew me away. He was articulate, with a fire that is rare for someone his age. This philosophical views on suicide were clearly thought-out and that attracted me to him greatly. There is one particular post that he commented on back-and-forth with several other users that just made me marvel at his insight.
he was one-of-a-kind and I can’t help but wonder if he would be happy if he had the chance to get better.

He has made me think more in depth as well. Those who mean what they say are interesting. LMS was certainly interesting!

He would not have desired us to regret, but rather to learn, I think. And so I did.
Putting a face to a name calls us to all be mindful of the impact we may make upon others here. This is the lesson he taught me.
