inside the fire

when i finally saw the video for inside the fire it sent me to the time when suicide tore apart my life. then i read some of the messages other people posted and i realized so many people are affected by suicide. i feel like death is all apart of life but suicide is a self inflictive death i know you are thinking i am crazy please bear with me. when suicide affected my life i was only 11 years old i am 38 now. i know i was young when it happened but the years do not matter when i had to watch my family feel the pain of what my uncle did. my uncle had multiple sclerosis for those who do not know what that is it is something that attacks your arteries and your central nervous system they do not have a crue. my uncle took his own life because of this disease he could not live with. i have not really talked about this for a long time i feel i need to let it out. i remember how my family racted and it made me want to say to God ok shut off the sun and put out the moon roll up the stars and tell the birds to stop singing. i have no use for them but that never happened i realized all those things are still here and so am i. my uncle however only God knows for sure where he is.my family and i are left here to remember who my uncle was a husband and father.brother and a son.i send my love to you uncle where ever you are. thank you for giving me this chance to say my peace. i love you david dan mike and john you guys rock, shannon
