I spoke with my friend this evening. Kept it short since they still had people around. He said I would have loved Matthew. I am sure I would have. He blames himself as I am sure most parents would. I told him that he shouldn't. We are all so good at trying not to let others know when we are hurting, I am sure Matthew was too. I only recently found out my 15 year old had contemplated suicide a few years ago while dealing with the divorce.

My friend said that even though they had been divorced 10 years. They still had a lot of divorce issues between them. He said he felt terrible that he didn't know how sad his son really was. If only could have realized that it does get better. I told him to feel free to call me if he needed to talk, that I was here. I hope he takes me up on my offer.

Thanks everyone for your prayers. kat
