"Lived and taught on three AZ rez. Suicide a way of "life." Head of the JDC told me he "took down" his nephew. I thought he meant it like a cop. No. It was literal. He had to take down his dead body after three days. People were living in the house. I left, eventually, because i was becoming........like that. Save one life at a time. One i missed because i had no idea. He was a security officer and a wonderful, happy person. But, he had his secret and he carried it out. I know, I know, that ten minutes with him and he would still be here.

Such a waste. The ones who care enough about life to leave it are the precious ones we need to keep around. i been there; and all it takes is one, just one, other person, maybe even just a good dog. Ask them, think about the one you love most; do you want her to find you like that?" - Miguel Obrien
