May the Source of Strength Who blessed the ones before us, help us find the courage to make our lives a blessing, and let us say, Amein.

Rest in Peace Christopher Cook

Yesterday morning I found out one of my good friends, Christopher Cook, committed suicide. It's taken all day and all night for that to sink in. I still can't believe it, he was always so positive and full of life. He would show up to work excited to face the day no matter how crappy it was going to be. Whenever my band played a show, even if he was the only person there, he still acted like it was the best show we had ever played. He excelled at turning a negative into a positive. Which is why I'm having so much trouble accepting that he's gone. Even as I write this I find myself asking am I dreaming? It has to be dream there is no way he's gone. But then it sets in and I feel as if the wind has been knocked out of me. It's a tragedy that he was suffering so badly and felt like he couldn't tell anybody. I am truly sorry for his family and friends and I will keep them in my prayers. Chris was a genuinely good person. He would give you the shirt off his back if it would help and never ask (or accept) anything in return. He will be sorely missed.
