The lyrics to the Mash Theme Song keep running through my head today, especially the refrain which is:
"that suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please."
Two years ago today a gentle, young man, full of promise and creative genius stepped onto tracks and ended his life. I knew his pain well. I know what battling depression is like. I also know how hard it is to fight off the demons that are within your soul.
Giancarlo Colombo reminds me to stay in touch with my own feelings, to be gentle with myself and to have compassion for others. He continues to lead by example and from the heart.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
