broken heart

The world is a sadder place today. Yesterday my baby brother's friend, Mike passed away. He took his own life. Died to young, too soon. It's come as a shock. He was always so full of positive energy. He loved children. My son nicknamed him "he plays" because he played with him tirelessly. All of the adults would be talking or playing a board game in one room and Mike would be in another with my little munchkins down on the floor building some great tower or helping the cow find his food. He was scheduled to leave on a church mission next week. So many mysteries. Most of them trapped inside souls that don't know how to let them out.
