Just kinda hit home last night. My kids go to school here, and were at the game that this happened. A lot of rumors were swirling that the kid may have been pushed off the top of the bleachers at the end of the game. But, the kid marched in the band at halftime and at the end of the game climbed the bleachers and jumped to his death. This young man apparently has dealt with depression for a long time. Kept my kids home tonight to watch some tv and just hang out. Anywho, talk to your kids, and give them a hug.
The below is from his Dad today on facebook.

Jaymeson is gone. Last night after the football game he climbed over a railing and jumped from the top of the stadium. He succumbed to the depression he had battled for so long. He was not weak. He was not selfish. He showed more grit getting out of bed every morning than most of us have shown our whole lives. Depression is a deft and wicked enemy.
I cannot begin to explain the pain and loss that I'm experiencing right now. Jaymeson was beautiful inside and out. He was more than my son. He was my best friend. He was everything that was good in me. Every breath of my life will miss him.
In times like these we do not heal. We struggle. We drag ourselves through the day. We breathe until we can do so without weeping. We wait for all the beauty and laughter that Jaymeson brought into this world to overpower the ugliness of his last moments. We wait for the moments we remember and the stories we will always tell to force the sadness back to a place where we can try to live. And with Jaymeson there was more than enough spirit and love to pull us through.
