If I would Have known
To my Dear Hillary:

Why did you have to take your own life
Why did you choose to die
Didn't you know we loved you
And at your funeral we would cry


We put you in that cold wet ground
Knowing it really wasn't your time
As tears ran down my face that day
Knowing Heaven you would not find


You were so special to me
I wish I could have told you more
Because if you really knew how people felt
you would not have closed that door


The second I found out
I hit my knees in tears
Knowing that you would have graduated
In only a few more years


If I would have been a better friend
Been there for you that day
You would have dealt with all that grief
only in a better, more positive way


I want you to know I forgive you
But still it hurts inside
Was there anything I could have done that day
So you would not have died

very sad one, and I can relate. my brother took the same way, as well as my mother. and no, there's nothing you could have done. my prayers are with you

Sad write, Chrissy....i think, probably, there was nothing you could've done...for if there was, you would've done it, right....

The suicide of someone that you love is very hard to deal with.  Thanks to everyone for your support, I think the hardest thing to deal with is the forgivness.
