A permanent solution to a temporary problem

I am still stunned at what I saw yesterday ... as I was leaving my house for work I saw 4 police cars ... yellow "do not cross" tape enclosing a section of grass area ... and a tarp coving a person ... in the building behind me someone jumped to their death ...

I haven't been able to get the image out of my head no matter how hard I try ... it is there ... in the foreground of everything I am thinking ...

I contacted the local Fox News station to see if what I saw was what I thought I saw ... they confirmed that it was but since it was a suicide they don't report on the story ... that statement alone kind of shocked me ... it makes it seem like no one will know it is a problem if they don't report on it ...

I can't help but wonder what they were thinking at the time they decided to jump ... it seems like such an awful choice ... and such a scary thing to do ... I have so many questions that I will never know the answers to ... I am sure just like their family ...

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem ...

On my way home I had to drive by the same spot ... the grass is gone and it is like a crater is there ... it made my stomach sink when I saw it ... I feel so affected by someone I don't even know ...

it is just so sad ... sad ... sad ...
