• Suicide

  For those of you who pray, please do and if you don't, please keep in mind of my girlfriend Lindsay Bourne's dad, Clint Myers, who is intense care and life support.

  He tried to commit suicide by overdosing in insulin and various drugs and anti-deppressents this Wednesday. He's in ICU right now under a coma and really isn't doing too well. With the damage he's done to his heart and brain, doctors said they'd be surprised if he opens his eyes again. Families of both sides are taking this really hard because he was a really likable guy. He suffered a stroke earlier in life and became angry and depressed over his loss of ability to support himself.

  So he really didn't die after this incident, but he told his daughter, with advance directive, that after his stroke he become vegetative with inability to support himself, he does not want to be supported with anything by hydration.

  So sometime soon, my girlfriend has to decide when to end the support for her father. Lindsay is currently angry with her dad because she feels is such a selfish act, which it really is. But I am here to comfort her and soothe her that she doesn't dwell on anger or bad thoughts too much.

  I knew God would bring good and bad times to our relationship. I realize that, and now I hope that with this situation, Lindsay, her family, and I can pull through really well and countinue to praise Him. Lindsay's dad was Christian, so we're not to worried about where he's going. Lindsay just hoped it wouldn't be this way. She just hoped her dad wouldn't miss the future things in life like his daughter's wedding, first born, and so much more.

  I've dealth with the deaths of my grandmother and grandfather, but this is the first time I'm in a situation with suicide. It's a gloomy thing and it's really a selfish act. But I'm not here to be angry over the selfishness. I just really pray for Lindsay and her family to overcome with the event and I pray for Clint Myers. God's Will shall be with him if he live or dies. But I wish for you guys to keep us in their hearts.

  Let us be in your prayers.
