Breathe Jodi

Poor Jodi.  Friday night she heard a pop.  Asked Josh what it was and he said fireworks.  Nope.  The cops, ambulance and EMTs came next door.  Not having heard more, we assume the neighbor kid shot himself.  He had been depressed and had attempted suicide about a month ago.  Sounds like this time he did more than attempt.  Jodi said the cops were there till after 4:30 in the morning and she had heard the pop at about 11:30.
Jodi was freaking out because it was someone she knew. She felt touched.  She heard it.  It is a hard thing for the brain to process.  I told her to breathe and hug her boys and feel blessed.  It is a harsh thing, but it is a time to feel grateful for what you have.
