wmw999 2,584 #5 July 27, 2004 All I can say is Dude! And that's cool -- good to see you back. I'll bet your dad is happier than you have any idea of to have you here, never mind jumping.

Since you stated it in your first post, I will assume that your not afraid to talk about it, so I will ask. Why the hell did you try to kill yourself 3 times? Granted I have never been injured that bad, and hope I never find out what its like, but I just would like to know how and if it was associated to your injuries.

I'm sure Jason would answer it if he feels so inclined. I do know some of what Jason has gone through these past 2 years. I pray you never have to.
