Today , I will hold my head up high.

Today,  I will hold my head up high . I will honor my grandsons life , he had here on earth no matter how short it was. You see David took his own life on , Saturday, July 16 , 2011 , he was nineteen years old . I will never understand , how someone can feel so alone , this was the only way out . None of the adults in his life had any signs ,  he was feeling this way . He was always joking and had an upbeat attitude . After the fact ,  a few of his friend said they had stopped him before . We need to get the word out to these young people , that when someone is in this state of mind they need professional help . It is not a betrayal to alert someone who can get them this help  . David just graduated high school , he had a good job he seemed to enjoy . He never missed work . He had lots of friends and family and was never really alone . It's not my place to wonder why ,  just to  accept what happened and hold my head up high in the memories of my grandson .
