He was 21. Last time I saw him was at his grandmother's funeral (my mother in law.) He was newly married, with a brand new baby and he was wearing an ankle bracelet. He'd been busted for drugs, meth, pills. We talked and he said he was really trying to get his life together for the baby and everyone. He was sad, we were all sad. He hung himself a month later. His mother found him. She had the baby with her. That was eight years ago next month.
