A Fight For His Life

[Guest DreamFighter]

Ok so something has been bothering me for a few days now. I have this family friend (Billy) who has been in the family for quite some years now. For the longest time he knew I was gay and was perfectly fine with it... He as well is an older gay man himself I would say he is in his early 60's and he recently I mean within the last couple of months broke it off with his partner of I want to say 17 years. The apartment complex that I am renting from the manager is Billys brother. So it was quite easy for me to get an apartment in this complex..... Anywho, a few days ago my mother and I were chatting and she mentioned Billy to me. Billy overdosed on perscription pills behind his ex partners workplace with a suicide note written to him. They rushed Billy to the emergency to to where he has spent the last week in ICU. My mother told me this and it brought tears to my eyes. They were the most loving couple I have ever seen in my life. They didn't know if they should pull the plug or not on him. His ex partner has been begging the family to see him and their last resort was going to let him go visit to see if he could bring Billy out of coma. But on the back draft of that if he was to go visit and bring Billy out that would have caused billy to get over excited thinking now maybe I have a chance. So the family had backed down and not let his ex partner visit him. This past week I had got the message that he came out of coma and is breathing on his own and he is back with us again... The bad part is is he will be sent to a unit in the hospital for suicidal candidates and put under 72 hour suicidal watch. He admitted to us this week that he knew he needed help. He is a good man with strong efforts in keeping life in the family I miss Billy so much

I am so sorry that you are going through this >_<. I hope that everything turns out well and that Billy gets well soon. Good luck with everything.

Thanks Leigh and Eth,

It is very hard when you break up with some one you ACTUALLY LOVED. I did it and Sally will quote me on this one it is better to not be in a relationship than to be in a bad one. But I tell you they had a wonderful relationship as far as I could see. I mean they had a brautiful house together and everything I guess what we don't see is what is hidden behind those closed doors and curtains right....

Love DREAM

Dream,

It is true that we don't see what goes on behind the closed doors of what seems to be a perfect relationship.

I hope that you can get a chance to talk to Billy and remind him that everything happens for a reason and it is up to him to find the reason behind this and move forward to whatever is next.

There is a reason that people quote old sayings - there is truth in them and that is why they hang around, "One door closes and another one opens" - it is true and what is behind the next door might just be better, don't be afraid to walk through it and embrace a new chapter in your life.

I hope that helps.

Love ya,

Sally
