&quot;Dear Darla, I hate your stinkin&#039; guts, You&#039;re the scum between my toes. You make me vomit.<br /> Love, Alfalfa.&quot;

i know you were depressed
been hurting for a while
you just weren't happy
couldn't take the pain anymore

you were my hero
seemed too happy to want to die
looks can be deceiving though
and it's not like you didn't try

thirteen surgeries later
they said there was nothing more that they could do
you put the gun to your mouth
counted to three, skipped two

you weren't trying to be selfish
it was a deadly disease
that made you give up
. . . put your life at ease.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
