Hailey's Mommy's Page

Last Friday, a maintenance tech from the studios our offices are located in committed suicide. He phoned his supervisor before he jumped off of the San Pedro bridge in front of the police. I didn't formally know this man but did see from time to time and occasionally said hello to him. And now I've thought about him and the suicide for the past week. I've even lied in bed wasting valuable sleep that I often lack thinking about it. Asking myself what would drive someone to this point. I keep… Continue
