Phone rings.

Still asleep, I grab my phone. Lit up on the screen is Heather Finch. My mind thinks, WTF. Answer the call. “Dani, your dad killed himself this morning.” My heart stopped. My first reaction was to call home and tell my mother. I ordered a family meeting – no one likes an early morning family meeting! Every single one of us was in shock. How in the world did Rob Finch, the most hardheaded man we

had ever met do such a thing? How did he believe that a bullet was the answer? What would ever make him so upset to want to end his life and leave behind 5 children, 3 step-children, and 2 grandsons? How? What? Why?! These, amongst other questions will forever remain unanswered. All we DO know is he had one sentence to share before he departed: “I gave you everything.”

That empty, numb feeling from that moment has never left my body. It is my life mission to never let a mother, father, aunt, uncle, sister, brother, nephew, niece, cousin, son, daughter, or grandchild EVER have to feel this way. No person deserves to live day-to-day wondering why someone would abandon them in such a tragic, heartbreaking way. Please help us send the silence of depression! We all need to help others come out of the darkness and live fulfilling lives not only for themselves, but for their beautiful families that don’t deserve to be left behind.
