The First Cut is the Deepest

Today was one of the hardest days I have had to deal with. My friend tried to commit suicide and he called me after it happened. I was the first contact, so I went to his room and found him with blood on the floor and his arm wrapped a thousand times in toilet paper. My chest gets tight when I think about it again it's hard to let go of that image of him at his lowest. I thank God that he trusted me and could call me so I could save him. I pray that he gets the help he needs and accepts the resources I have set up for him because I can't imagine someone taking their life when they have so much to live for. I pray that he finds God in his life and that he learns that he can always go to Him for support as well as his friends. The first cut is the deepest, I will never forget what he and I went through today.

  1. Wow. You were his angel, for that moment in time. And that is a great honor. I couldnt think of a better person to call. I hope that you dont get bogged down in the sadness that could come from this but rather rejoice that you were his chosen person!
