it's a nice thought to say destiny rescued you, but i have to say it's chance. i don't believe that destiny decides whether one lives or dies after a sui attempt... i do believe some things about fate, like a path is before us, but we and every other human has the free will factor.

my daughter survived, i'm grateful she did, from swallowing a bottle of aspirin at age 14. but i also knew she was depressed and she'd been threatening it, so i was shadowing her... and when she turned white and limp, i knew what was up and rushed her to ER. they were able to save her because i got her there in time.

less than a month later, a 12 yr old boy we were good friends with went in the woods and shot himself and died. that wasn't fate. that was horrible chance, and his parents didn't know he was depressed. that's just horrible tragedy.

but it's good to look at it as a second chance i think and try to make the most of it. always good to try to make the most of this life.
