Not a good day

[klwilliams]

My friend Kath, who I visited in Tucson last month, killed herself Thursday afternoon. They found her body today. I know she had her reasons for doing so, and I know I couldn't stop her once she decided to do it, but I'm going to miss her very much. What bothers me the most is that I had been meaning to call her during the last couple of weeks, because she'd been kind of quiet lately and I knew was depressed. In retrospect, all the signs were there that she was going to do this, but it just seems so out of character. I've been terribly depressed for the past three months or so, but in one of those ironies of life (and biochemistry), I've been in a very good mood for the last two weeks. I wish I could have said good-bye to her. I hope she knew how much I liked her.
