		<description>Beth- ALthough it doesn&#039;t happen as often anymore, I will still think I see him in a crowd. And I don&#039;t constantly dream about him anymore. I tell you, haunted doesn&#039;t even begin to describe what that did to some of us. Lora and I still have difficulty talking about it. I cried buckets of tears writing that entry about him and it had been 16 years. Suicide really effs people up.</description>

		<description>I remember Caleb. Sweet guy. I didn&#039;t know any details about his passing though until I read that old post you linked to. Thank you. That cleared up a little of the haunting. :)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not sure my 18 year old saelf was brave enough for the advise I would give him today. And honestly I&#039;m not sure I am smart enough to give him good advice. Well maybe to jump into PCs earlier. :-)</description>

		<description>Indianamatt- It&#039;s all the rage in the blogosphere right now! GO for it! However, I warn you it&#039;s not as easy as you think it is. And oh how I wish I really could have saved myself such grief with this letter...</description>

		<description>How much fun we could have if we could be 18 and know what we know now.  Very interesting concept for a blog.  I may steal, I mean borrow it some day.  Sounds like you&#039;ve come a long way, woman!</description>
