I'm 43. I have many friends that are right around that age. I've had way too many friends pass away recently. I've lost 5 people due to suicides in the last 2 years. These are people that at one time or another were close friends. Depression, mental illness, and drugs affect more people than I could ever have guessed. I it just me, or is this what happens when people start approaching middle age? I'm going to another wake this evening.
