#69, Jesse Melnyk
Jesse. You were a couple of years behind me in high school. A cute, shy boy with intense brown eyes, always wearing a Nirvana t-shirt. i know if i had been your age i would have fallen for you, hard. Recently i found out that you committed suicide in late 2005. From what i can tell, you jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge. And recently i was talking to a friend about how i don't think they should put that safety net up. Do i still think that? i don't know. i'm sorry you were so unsure about life... It goes without saying, you are missed. You are a strong presence permanently in the endless rambling closet of my brain. i don't think i'll ever forget your face.

Hi
I'm Jesse's mom. I just googled him name for some reason. Just curious I guess. And your blog came up. When i read the thing about the brown eyes and the nirvana t-shirt, i knew it was my Jesse.
There's a website for him (jessemelnyk.com).
It was nice reading this. And yes, please support the suicide barrier on the bridge. After Jesse died, i read his journals. At least a year before he had written, "i went to the bridge today. It looks pretty easy to go over."
It's time to make it more difficult.
Hi
i was just thinking that if you felt like it, i'd like you to post what you wrote on Jesse's website. It's really nice and sort of breaks my heart but i like it a lot.
Bonnie
