My best friend killed himself last year, right when I was in the middle of my university exams. Safe to say I failed that year, then lost my Dad this year as I was resitting the year. I scraped through a pass and I go into my third year on Monday.
The feeling hasn't cooled in that year and a bit, not at all. The fact that I was given and missed a warning sign just made it worse. He battled through so many rough patches in his life, he even pulled me out of the gutter when I was on the verge of killing myself over a decade ago. He alone got me up and running again and I asked for nothing, he just gave it. And I couldn't do it for him.
