we remember them....

... on June 7th and 8th, there will be a fundraiser for suicide awareness. Called The Overnight for Out of the Darkness, people raise funds and walk 20 miles through the night in different cities in the US. New York City's OOD Overnight is that night. There is a young woman who is walking that night as part of a team - Laura - and she has my support. Suicide is not one person's death, but 1000 persons' deaths, as the ripples in a pond from a pebble dropping in it affect the entire pond. The death of a loved one by suicide impacts family members, friends, associates in work, school, etc in a way that no other form of death does. It is the third leading killer of young men 18-24 in the USA. I do not ever feel i should say "should" - i only say here is the information and it might be of interest to you.

i am knitting socks - i have some SOCK WARS socks on the needles now - i will "say no more" until they leave my house...LOL
