Dear  pubbies, I wanted to let you know that my son Adam, for whom we've all
been  praying very hard this past year or so, could no longer bear the pain
he  was dealing with and took his life today.  Very strangely, I was  almost
not surprised when Jonathan called to tell me. I feel like I have  been
watching this coming for the last year, almost like watching an  accident
happening in slow motion.

Jonathan is taking this very  hard. He and Betsy have tried so hard to help
Adam and he especially feels  like he failed him somehow. I tried to tell
him that he did all he could  but sometimes you just can't help. I haven't
talked to Betsy yet. She and  Adam were very close and this coming on top of
losing her dad and her  grandmother in the last couple of years is bound to
be another blow. It's  also going to be very hard on Isaak and on Betsy's
boys, who loved their  Uncle Adam dearly.

I don't know what arrangements will be. The only  request Adam made was that
he be buried in a Veterans'  cemetery.
