What Brian more than likely did to gabby is without a doubt unacceptable. There is no cursory reason why either should be dead, but here they are and now we have two sets of families grieving and I having not a single connection with any of them feel heartbroken as well. Though I won't begin to weigh my sorrow against theirs. It just makes me reflect on humanity, on myself.
I also reflect on how I've changed, as this capacity for empathy was never there and I'm always readily available for a burst of emotions should the need arise.
I don't really want to write more about this tragedy, I don't want to speculate as to the circumstances other than young kids (20 somethings?) caught in the midst of an emotional and irrational irrevocable moment. And like that... forever committed to a path of irrationality.
Having been there (not in that situation) but in a moment of irrational thought and behavior teetering towards oblivion... only to not have it come to fruition... a resigned failure at yet another endeavor. Suicide was not for me...

Discourse is the only means of being able to communicate with one another. Assuming one person knows things that you know is not realistic. Spam will be deleted, fallacious messages will be pointed out as such, and educating the reader is not the objective.
