I Lost Someone To Suicide

An old friend of mine committed suicide last week. I had not seen him in a long time. He was what I call a socially dyslexic person. He would get on well with people then manage to stuff it up with stupid behaviour (alcoholic issues) He was a smart guy, could have been a doctor but never pursued it. I refer to him as the dumbest smart person I knew. What a waste mate.

I lost my father to alcoholism.

His life was not wasted because I had good memories of him, sober or not.
He loved to cook for his children and when drunk, he only slept.
He may not be a good man to everybody but I loved him and will always will.
