Joe Frank has died
Joe Frank was 23 when he died from a self inflicted gunshot. His marriage of 2 years had just ended. He had moved back home several times within 5 months but this time it seemed like he was home to stay. He was happy, content. There was no clue that he didn't want to live. It seemed he was okay with starting a new beginning.
I believe that his suicide wasn't planned, but that he done it in a moment of panic. We will never be the same now that Joe Frank is not in this world. If only he,,,,,,,. The questions are endless.
I thought I would have my boys till forever. When Joe Frank died, I did too. My heart still beat although I didn't want it to. I mourned deeply for my child. I longed for the past when we were all together, and grieved for the future we would never see.

He would have been 30
Adam watching for Frank to catch his balloons
I baked his usual b.day cake. We all lit candles. We sent him 30 balloons and I gave all the guests a green carnation from the 30 as they left. The young kids blew noisemakers and we all shouted "Happy Birthday Frank" as his balloons sailed to him. I know we all 'saw' him smiling.
The words that will forever burn in the pit of our being
