Today is the one year anniversary of the suicide of my cousin, Preston. If those of you who read this could just take a few moments to pray for him, it would mean a great deal to me.

I am sorry to hear this sad news. It must be a difficult time. I lost a good friend to suicide many years ago. I will certainly pray.

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth

I've lost more than a few friends to suicide. You have my deepest sympathies.
May the Lord have mercy on Preston and grant him eternal rest and may He also have mercy on those Preston left behind.
