I pretty much appreciate every thing Robin Williams has done creatively with his life and I'm pretty stunned by him ending it all by his own means. It brings back painful thoughts of how my Father one day just decided to do the same, a split second decision to jump into the mighty Niagara ending it all. A decision I had struggled with myself at times in years past. :shrug: Take Care
Take me back, so far back, adjust this fate. Afeared lately of pen, in abscence of light. The fear I might stumble upon a plagiarized soul. Wipe this dark slate clean, regain my thought. Add the words that rekindle my depth of soul.

For my mother, it was sitting in a car while CO2 filled a closed garage. I was taking some post grad courses at the University of Waterloo, Ont. at the time. Life was never the same after the police call to inform me of her suicide. Suicide happens far more often then our society will admit. For mom's father; it was a step in front of a railroad train when she was just 9 years old (although it was rumored he owed money to bad people and may not have made that step voluntarily). Still, once the family taboo against suicide is broken; it becomes a tolerable act. It sets a pattern we survivors have to break for the sake of our own children.

Yes! Good Will Hunting is a great Flick as well as Dead Poets Society etc. and for me being a suicide survivor has been a challenge as my Balancing Destiny series of Poems has depicted. Take Care
Take me back, so far back, adjust this fate. Afeared lately of pen, in abscence of light. The fear I might stumble upon a plagiarized soul. Wipe this dark slate clean, regain my thought. Add the words that rekindle my depth of soul.

For me it's definitley Dead Poet's Society. I think he deserved an Oscar for his performance.
