R. I. P. David...May you soar with the angels!

A tragedy happened in my family yesterday morning. My 16 year old cousin David Fox took his own life.Everyone always says, "My child would never do that", really, do you want to gamble on that fact? If this kid could do it then anyone's could. David was an exceptionally bright and even gifted child. He was respectful of his parents and teachers, he never had anything bad to say about anyone, he never touched a drug, or drank a drop of alcohol, he came from a stable loving home, he was infact the center of his parents entire world. This boy tutored his classmates and younger children because he always wanted to be helping people. I've heard so many people say about their children, that my child just isn't the type that would take their own life, just so everyone knows, death doesn't descriminate. Talk to your children, let them know that they can come to you with any problem and at the end of the day you are still going to love them. Give your kids room to grow and make their own mistakes, if you notice that you child is not him or herself seek out help for your child. Never say my child would never take their own life. My aunt and uncle are in a state of grief that most of us will never comprehend this morning because they never thought their child could take his own life. Please keep my family in your prayers, especially my aunt Fleeta and uncle Thurman Fox. Rest in peace David, may you soar with the angels!
