When an Angel Intervenes

by Christian Price, Darleen Dixon (Illustrator)

Here in the United States, suicide claims the lives of more than ten thousand people every year, but behind this number were individual lives, people with a story. No story is ever the same. The reasons and circumstances why someone dies from suicide are tragically left for the grieving survivors and communities to wonder and try to interpret "Why?"In 1986 I survived a near fatal suicide attempt. I was sixteen and I was never the same after my near fatal attempt. All of us have a story to share or tell. Some of us become writers and write our stories down. Everyone who fought their personal struggle against mental illness and suicide likewise had a story to tell. When an Angel Intervenes is my story and if you or know someone who might relate to my story, this story is for you...Bill and Laura are set to embark on what was meant to be a pleasant evening out. Bill is attending his twenty year high school reunion and ultimately experiences a disorienting trip into the past as he rediscovers a gift he was given on the night he intended to be his last.

This man, tried to commit suicide as a boy. He is saved. However, going to his high school reunion gutted him. He realized what is important, on the drive home. The question asked, :" would you exchange your life for another?". My answer, is yes.
