Cousin Daniel..

Daniel Lee Harper- March 31, 1991-April 26,2010

I'm not sure I, or anyone else has the right answers when someone dies. Especially when someone takes there own life...it makes it that much harder to understand the "why's" and "what ifs". Just 19 years old, an entire life ahead of him. No matter how big or how small the issues were, he felt it was just to much.

He came from a HUGE family, and nobody knew just how painful, regretful, or confusing life was for him. When I first heard the news, I honestly thought it was some sick joke. But my mother isn't going to pull some sick joke on me. Second, I didn't know if I should continue crying, or be so mad at our family. We come from a rather large family and I just kept thinking.. "how on earth does something like this happen when there are oodles of us and nobody picked up on any signs of depression or despair? It's tragic, and nobody will ever know. R.I.P.
