Suicide; one person’s panacea, another’s life sentence.

Daily Prompt: Panacea

“Panacea~a solution or remedy for all difficulties or diseases…”

I have been thinking of this daily prompt all day. There is so much that I am not yet ready to say. If my dog Shaw was still with me he would have felt my angst and pushed me to go for a walk. He would have pushed in close and I would have put my nose to his fur and breathed him in.

• David C.R. ~ My childhood friend. You could have told me anything. HIV
• Kelly P. ~ High School. My beautiful friend, I loved the ice-cream on your face. I wish you would have know broken hearts mend.
• Uncle Paul and Aunt Georgie~ You changed our world. You did it your way.
• Teasa Lane~ I can not even say your name. I was there when each of your babies were born, I climbed in beside you in some of your darkest days. I tasted your tears and I couldn’t catch you when you fell.
• Kenny W.~ You encouraged me and said the kindest of things, I just didn’t know it was good bye.

My Panacea: “There is no death, only a transition of life.”
