I still miss Dale's laugh and so many other things, mostly just him being with us. We've been watching old home videos and seeing him stuff himself on pumpkin pie and laugh and give that shy smile.....it's hard to watch but pretty cool at the same time. Thanks for sharing this about his last day. There isn't anything you could have done that day to change what happened. We know Dale loved you and your kids very much..he showed that in many ways. I still hurt for you and the kids and am SO thankful that you have Christ to lean on. :). I just remembered the day you and Dale got baptized... Rebecca and I looked at each other and smiled and cried! Sweet memory. Love you!Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891522115887884755.post-49679410243005022492012-12-12T23:23:30.951-06:002012-12-12T23:23:30.951-06:00I've had varying levels of depression since I ...I've had varying levels of depression since I was 12 and I'm 36 now. I've been suicidal more than once, and even tried once when I was 16. I've been there when life was hell, and when it was just the opposite. <br /><br />That's the crazy thing about depression - it can hit at any time or place. You can hit bottom slowly or rapidly. And even in the same person, it varies each time as to how and when it happens.<br /><br />Unless you've had experiences with someone that suffers from severe depression before, you would have no idea what to look for or even how to respond. Even then, you might not recognize it in a different person.<br /><br />It's a really horrible disease that can be fatal like many other diseases, even if it's being treated. My heart goes out to everyone touched by it's effects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891522115887884755.post-81367965446690455542012-11-18T08:52:41.699-06:002012-11-18T08:52:41.699-06:00Thank you for your story,and may it save a life /p...Thank you for your story,and may it save a life /prevent the pain your family has experienced.

My heart ...Hi Dina Marie, am reading this in tears. My heart goes out to you, your children and to your deceased husband. My mother took her own life when I was younger & I can't & won't explain the scar that's left, as you know too well. I too have guilt as the last time I saw her I was a stroppy teenager & we'd argued & I got out of the car, slammed the door & didn't say bye or see you later or look back like I always used to... she'd already made up her mind to kill herself that night but how much more did my behaviour towards her that morning confirm to her that she had made the right decision?? We can torture ourselves forever with these thoughts. It's a continual fight to carry on. There's so so much more I could say but I won't. I'm so glad you decided to share this with everyone, I admire your honesty. Love your posts, love your attitude, love your strength and positivity... love to you, your children & family... take care of each other xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891522115887884755.post-21942304689933920752012-11-17T08:49:34.498-06:002012-11-17T08:49:34.498-06:00my heart aches for you! you are such a strong woma...my heart aches for you! you are such a strong woman!!

It all depends on when you go.
