Could it have been averted had we done things differently?
Would it have helped if we were stricter? Or, to the other extreme, kinder?
If i had acted on that gut-feel, would it have made a difference? Why did i let my human reasoning and doubts get in the way? If i had been a little more like i used to be, i would have just heeded the prompting and just do it, instead of rationalising it away and just making it a soon-forgotten New Year Resolution. Would he have responded? Would the story of his life be very different?
What would have helped him?
He's so young.
And i wasn't of any help.
How many more will go this way?
Shouldn't we do something about it?
What can we do about it?
Who's to know what is the best way?
Who's to know which will be the last time you see someone?
And now i keep thinking about those others that i've had similar worries for.
Oh God please keep them safe.
