A week after his death I got an email from my mother in law informing me that my father had hung himself in the basement of the house I grew up in, and she ended the letter with "I didn't call because I don't know how you would react to such terrible news."

If you've never seen your friend's baby girl wave goodbye to her daddy as his casket leaves the funeral, I want to be you.

What if, for me, socializing has sincerely become a chore, a burden to have to deal with during times when I can't enjoy solitude?

It's sad that my mother's cancer-filled dog seemed more frisky and alert on the day before he was put to sleep than he had been in years.

The cardboard paper camel I made my stepfather for his birthday is still hanging on the wall, left and abandoned, like us.

My face looks exactly like my mother's did, before a head-on collision with a drunk driver led to her complete facial reconstructive surgery.

As I was a suicidal, gay teen, I sometimes wish I'd get HIV so I'd be spared having to think of a future I'm not sure I ever wanted.

I never knew what I wanted from life, except to be a better father to my children (if I have any) than mine was to me.

After our usual back fence bull session, complaining about shady politicians and the sad state of the world, my neighbor walked into his house picked up a shotgun and blew his head off.

Mom, I never told you what they did to me, because I was ashamed and I was afraid you would think it was my fault.

I sat there that night and realized that all my life I’ve been trying to eliminate the things that cause me to get depressed, instead of the depression itself.
