So sad to hear when anyone commits suicide, but a child is just heart breaking. Prayer said for Clint's family and friends (you your kids included Brief). "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1173550understood! my heart goes out to you & all who knew & loved Clint! it is so sad & unbearable when a tragedy happens like such ... unfortunately i know this from personal experience(s), my dear nephew Kevin committed suicide when he was 18 ... i was very close to him, and was there to help him as much as i could, sometimes this in itself is not enough ... harsh lesson & reality of life, sometimes/often things are out of our control, no matter what we do, no matter the amount of love in our heart/s, we could not have change the events ... it has taken me over 20 years to come to this understanding. may others journey with this be shorter. Sorry for your loss, and the waste of Kevin's potential...I was told at 12 by my Mom that she didn't have time for me because of the burden of my brothers (3)...twins and a year later my downs syndrome brother...never did I even consider killing myself...it was a challenge!!
