I recently learned that an older gentleman in our community killed himself.  He was 68.  It is hard for me to imagine what that would be like.

It got me to thinking of this scene from The Shawshank Redemption

I never really liked the horror stuff from Stephen King, but more traditional stories like this and The Green Mile really move me.

Whenever I watch them I always end up with a lump in my throat and I find myself in a funk for a few days.  Even so, I really enjoy them.
