Three years ago today, my son killed himself. I want to thank everyone – friends, colleagues, and strangers – for the condolences and support you provided. Extra shoutout to Mark Aretha, Roy Ballard, Nenshad Bardoliwalla, David Gonzo Gonzalez, Bill Hobbib, Karin Jenson, Bob Laurent, Kara Linn, Lou Rabon, Jake Shaver, Amy Suchanek-Vacca, Richard Tomlinson, and countless others.

Special thanks to those who have already contributed to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention through the Thomas Boone Dinsmore Memorial Fund. This fund is one of AFSP’s most successful campaigns ever. The fund remains open for contributions. If you haven’t donated previously to this great cause, today is a good day to do so.?

AFSP supports research, education, and advocacy on suicide.

Grief comes in waves, Thomas. Sometimes expected; sometimes not. Anniversaries are a big wave. Be well, my friend and thanks for shedding light on this important issue.

Can't even imagine how hard this is for you, even after losing a sibling. Losing a child, just can't imagine that.
