Too bad there's not some genetic testing to sort out all of this. I think dad was the first suicide in our family, I think. He didn't call anyone before he did it. It was just a split second decision I think, how do you prepare for something like that? Though I think he had been thinking about it for a while, from some of the remarks he would make.
