Life is already short enough. Suicidal tendencies are not something I have ever completely understood. Mental illness is sometimes hidden by the person who is seeking to end it, as was the case for my father. No one around him would have suspected that he had suicidal thoughts, but he fooled us all. He was only thirty-six when he made that fatal choice.
