My younger brother killed himself Friday night. He had joined me on a leg of my travels, we were staying in a hotel in Tucson, coming from the Grand Canyon, on our way south to go birdwatching. Having fun, laughing, surrounded by beauty, everything seemed fine on the surface..

8 years ago he began wresting with demons and was diagnosed with severe schizophrenia, attempted suicide twice, was in a psyche hospital for a year, and on heavy medication since.

It was a complete change in personality and his soul was under constant torture, even though he tried so hard to stay positive and seek happiness in this life...but what had happened to him rendered this impossible.

For the four days he was with me we laughed together, relived old memories, listened to good music, ate great food, and were excited planning our next adventures. He truly seemed fine, the best I had seen him in years. On the surface.

Friday he was watching TV, said he was going to sleep, I went out at 930pm to go party. At 11, our Mother called frantically saying he sent a suicide message. I went to the hotel, the police said he climbed the barrier to I-10, jumped into a fucking truck, and died instantly.
