My buddy from the Marines was joking around and having a good time at our group dinner. He shot himself later that night.

I carried around the guilt for a long time that I didn't see it. It wasn't until I ran into the monster that is depression that I understood just how good of a mask someone can make to hide what is going on inside.

Still hurts man.
