Loss of a great friend
I found out via facebook that my good friend, Nick Beacham, died this morning. From asking others, I found that he took his own life. Nick and I have been neighbors our whole lives and have so many great memories together. When we were little I would tag along with all the guys and play football or go swimming or be the referee...when we were in middle school I babysat his sister and faught with Nick all day long. In high school we were friends again and we walked together at high school graduation. I've always been close with Nick, and I'm so sad to see him gone. This last summer we hung out and drank beers all the time. He helped me finish off the keg before I came to Taiwan. I always loved running and jumping to get up into his humungous truck (seemed lifted more every time I saw him) and I loved doing crazy things with Nick. It's so hard to be a world away when I know that something like this has happened. I'm praying for Nick's family and other close friends. This is such a devastating event! RIP I love you and miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very sorry to hear about your friend Kate. I have been through this situation a few times myself. You seem to be quite busy with teaching and that will help keep your mind off of it a bit. If there is anything at all I can do to help in this far away land known as the Ohio you just let me know! I read your blogs whenever they are updated so keep up the good work! Love ya!
Hi again...I'm still reading as you can see. I didn't know that you were still close to Nick, I remember going to his house with you once when we were in middle school but thats the only time I can ever remember talking to him but I remember him as a nice guy who never seemed to hurt or say a bad word about anyone. What a terrible loss, I have been praying for his family every night, I can't imagine the pain they must be feeling, anyway, didn't mean to bring you down on here, just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you too! Love ya!
