After a long hiatus, I find myself pulled to this website again. There are a couple of reasons:
I want to “clean up” the website as I want it to be a testimony of Barry’s existence.
Because of the first point, I really want to document Barry’s life. I can’t do it in words, as [...]

The following are excerpts from a book called Ecstasy:Its History And Lor by Miriam Joseph.

On a couple of occasions I’ve mentioned that I am a writer. I normally write children’s fiction. I’m unpublished, but that won’t be the case forever. I’m working on that constantly.
My councillor keeps telling me to write, write, and write some more. She tells me it’s a way of relieving anger, [...]

November is going to be a very busy month for me. As a result, you might find that I don’t post as often as I have been. This does not mean that nothing is happening, or that we are not doing well, or even that we are. It means that I just [...]

If you read the post called On Ads, which was posted over at WordPress.com, the host of this website, you’ll see why I’m going to ask the next question.

It’s amazing how things change in just one week. Last week, our family felt isolated. This week, we have had numerous phone calls, cards, and visitors.
It started out with one of Barry’s school friends, Leesa, contacting me and asking if I’d like some photos and a poem. Naturally, I said yes. [...]

Today I’ve had login problems. I have been blocked from entering the administration part of this website for hours and was, therefore, unable to post. Hopefully, the problems were not anything to do with my account at WordPress.com, and now those problems have been fixed. I hope.
If I suddenly stop posting, you [...]

It has been brought to my attention that America’s largest private suicide prevention helpline is in trouble and faces being shut down due to lack of funds. It needs your help to show the government that their lack of commitment will not be tolerated. Our young people need their help.
