We don't have as far to go, as we've already been
Location
Arkansas, and also Florida
I'll be off line for a bit, because this is the worst time for me.

My beautiful daughter. She was so tiny, yet, she excelled at everything she set her mind to. Taught herself to speak Korean (so she could understand some Korean CD she had). Then learned Arabic from her sister.(who spent her time in the Gulf war cracking codes).
Played basketball, (point guard) volley ball, softball. Learned to play piano. (classical). So smart. graduated Christian high school at 15 1/2 years old.
Got accepted to MSU right out of school. (youngest full time student there). After one semester, switched to University of Florida in Gainesville where she earned several degrees. Joined military (82nd Airborne) and got the invite to jump school and jumped multiple times and earned her parachute patch and badge.

After Military, went to full sail University in Florida and learned computer coding. graduated and went to work for the military writing programs that enabled all computer map programs to communicate with each other in real time with soldiers on the ground thus enabling them to see a virtual map of what was in front and around them. starting pay was six figures.

Married her sweetheart and he did the same work. Thereby doubling their income and buying anew home. (500k) In and out of VA a lot because of ptsd from her time in Afghanistan. Given pills that only made it worse. I guess she lost her fight with those inner demons because on a warm, sunny Florida morning, she walked out to her front yard and put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger.
This has been so hard to write.

My God. So very very sorry.

What a nightmare.

Please take care of yourself and try to find some peace. You know that is what she would want for you.

And if the grief is very tormenting, just consider talking with someone to get through the worst of it.

Again, so sorry.

My uncle took his life in 1987.

Was a complete horror show for the family.


Many sighs and tears...

take care now...
