Dear Hunter, I'm Not Bitter
Okay,
I was gonna let it go.
Till I read, "Hunter S. Thompson Planned Suicide."
Yeah, right.
My dad "planned" his too.
Thoughtfully enough, he didn't do it in the kitchen with family in house.
He "planned" his outside, with his hat on,
So that he appeared to his best friend, to be taking a nap in the lovely, November sunshine.
Yeah, he "planned".
Before he put a whole new import on the expression
Right between the eyes.
Since when, does pain give people authorization to leave this planet?
Hearing your father drop to the floor dead, in the kitchen, likened to the sound of a book dropping. How quixotically correct for Juan Thompson. How sadly profound.
How painful.
The only detail forgotten to be "planned", accounted for, is the incredible, soul- searching loss encountered by those left behind.
Thanks for planning!

i dont meen to start a fued with this but what about when thier is no end to the pain for along time i thought suicide was the answer and some days i still do but for now i am alive hunter u will be missed
Hey Dude ,
Don't give up. You are young and have so much ahead of you. Life is
hard. I won't pretend to know your pain. I can't possibly know.
I was only trying to convey the pain I felt from my loss. H.S. Thompson's suicide ocurred simultaneously with memories of my dad's.
I felt both of them
thought they wouldn't be missed . That is so untrue.
The world is a better place with you in it. Believe that. Josie
Bradley,
As a suicide survivor myself I am painfully aware of the love, support and understanding needed by Hunter S. Thompson's family. My thoughts and prayers are with them and you too.
