how to save a life
What is tragic?
When a fren kills himself.
Terence's childhood pal killed himself by jumping down from a fren's 12th storey flat on Wednesday.
Leaving behind his grieving mum, elder brother and a whole lot of frens wondering why he would ever want to die.
His life was relatively smooth-sailing, with no commitments, no cash problems and he's not the depressed/quiet type either.
He had a boyish face, alwaz with a smile on his face, happy-go-lucky.
His family was doing well, they owned the coffeeshop just opp. Terence's shop.
And his mum had just signed some new businesses in his name, to ensure he had a gd future ahead.
He's her favourite son.
That nite, no one would have guessed it.
He had met some frens for pool in the evening.
After that, while some headed home, he and 2 others went to a fren's place.
These 2 other guys were hated by everyone, but he went ahead with them cos he's got nothing else to do that nite.
Apparently, they sniffed glue. Though the police has yet to confirm it.
Next thing anyone knew, he'd jumped.
Just the week before, another fren of theirs died the same way.
That makes it 2 suicides in as many weeks.
Today is his cremation and Terence is there now.
I don't know him that well, but we do eat at their coffeeshop a few times a week.
He and Terence were pals, though not particularly close.
He'll always give us extra stuff whenever we ate there, and though i hardly talked to him, he'll always smile or wave when he sees me walking by.
A very nice chap.
He's already 32, why would he still dabble in drugs/glue sniffing?
Isn't that what wayward teens do?
It's really sad.
Everyone else had no clue that he was involved in such things...not even his mom.
She weeped her heart out, saying she wanted to go too.
She's already a widow, and now this.
Everyone's so worried for her now, worried that she may not cope and give up.
He had no apparent problems, just a single guy with too much time on his hands.
Who had the wrong type of frens, and who wasn't strong enough to say no.
A guy who didn't know what to do with his life.
And who didn't know how much his mum loves him.
