Today, my Mother asked
me if I ever had suicidal
thoughts and I nodded
“Yes”.
I glanced in Jernee’s direction,
hinting that she’s the reason
I am still alive.
The reason why
I did not
could not leave
this world before
I am called.
I watched my Mom
“What If” me without
opening her mouth and
I said,
“But, I am here, Mom.
I choose to
live.

God this is beautiful. And I’m so glad, TrE. ❤ Much blessings, Debbie

How brave of you, Tre. Not everyone would be so open and honest with those they love the most. It’s a scary thing to admit something so taboo, so hidden away. It shouldn’t be like that though, imagine if we could all talk about it. Wouldn’t this Earth be a better place for it. Hugs xx

I wonder why she asked you that.

The recent celebrity suicides prompted her to ask, so that opened up the floor for discussion.

Ah, okay. Thought she was concerned about your mental/emotional state.

Had she known of things back then, she would’ve been clinging to me and pressuring me and trying to help in her way and her way back then was not helpful.

I appreciate this, Deb. I’m thankful, grateful to some extremely close friends and listeners. Not many can say that. I do not take any of their wisdom, guidance, and pulling me out of the dark for granted.
