September 5, 2016 marks a huge turning point in my life, even though that was the day I took the actions to no longer have life.  The key words being “Turning Point”.

There is hope at our darkest times, even though it is hard to see. It’s not a blind hope, and it is full of work. However, the thing that is most important to know is that you are worth it.
