This morning at 2:30 AM, my husband walked out the front door and shot himself in the head.
He was still breathing when I got to him, but I knew there wasn't much hope. Brendan called 911, and the first person to arrive was a cop on foot with a high-powered flashlight and an assault rifle. I guess the dispatcher didn't quite get the whole message.
He died in the ER, when I finally got them to stop pounding on him and sticking tubes down his throat and such.
If you are a praying person, pray for us.
ronni - I am SO sorry to hear about your husband! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time! Be strong!

No Ronni, NOOOO!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to say. I'm so angry with him for doing this to you. I can't imagine what you are going through.
I'm sorry if this is inappropriate. I'm stunned.
If you need ANYTHING...please let me know.
Sorry, I don't pray. You probably need that the most at this time. I care for you enormously and I am very distressed for you.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, my tears are not helping you right now. I might be many miles away but I am as close as an email message.
I'm still really p*ssed off at him!
Poor Brendan. What an awful thing for him to deal with. Just not fair!
ReplyDeleteRon... my prayers are definitely with you as are those of Leanne and my family.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. We love you.

I've learned recently that alot of times bad things happen to good people, i know this is true in this case. Your in my thoughts not only today but all the time. I love you very much and i want to be there for you the way you were for me.I'm not going to ask you how your doing,whether everyone thinks it's in sincere or not,because everyone does that when someone passes and i just want to look at them and scream "How do you fuckin think i'm doing?!?!"
ReplyDeleteYour a tough cookie, i know you'll get through. I love you and please let me know if there is anything i can do, or if you just want to talk, or sit in silence

Oh Ronni,
ReplyDeleteI just heard the news from Lisa, and came to your blog right away.
I am so very sorry, and of course my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at what has got to be an inconceivably difficult time. I truly cannot comprehend the shock, pain and probably anger you are feeling.
I wish I knew what to say. As many others have said, so many people are thinking of you, pulling for you and praying for you. You are special, and obviously loved and respected by so many people. Our hearts all ache for you.
Take care as best you can,
Darr
Ronni, words are so inadequate. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours. You will get through this. Love, Carol

Ronni,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that you and Brendan have had to go through this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Ronni, You and your family are in our prayers. My son's were both student's of Jim's and one was suppose to have him this year. I don't know how to explain to them why he did this. Please know he was loved.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what to say, other than to let you know I am praying for you and your family. I am asking God to give you strength to work your way through this to happier days as time goes by.
ReplyDeleteTo Ronni and Family, our heartfelt sympathy.

Ronni,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear of your heartbreaking loss.
My prayers ask for courage for you.
I am so terribly sorry to hear of this.
ReplyDeleteMornin', Ronni.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could find some comforting words for you today. This must have been the worst kind of shock. I'm so, so sorry.
Oh Roni...he seemed so happy when we did 365. I am so deeply sorry for you and the kids. Call me, let me know what I can do. I do pray, a lot, and you and the kids are in my prayers, especially Brendan.
ReplyDeleteMuch Love to you,
Ginny
We are in such shock and sadness and disbelief and anger about this! Jim was a phenominal actor and a loving and caring person. During the 1-Acts, I told him how lucky I felt I was to finally get to act with him and I sincerely hoped to get the chance again. As you said, he was your soul mate and it will be hard to imagine Ronni without Jim!! Our hearts absolutely break for you and the kids!! I am so sorry!! Let us know if there is anything, ANYTHING!! we can do for you. Sending all our love and prayers,
ReplyDeleteMaureen
Mrs. Prior,
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you remember me but my name is Devon. I was suppose to be in your play All My Sons but I didn't want to cut my hair. I was looking forward to having Mr. Prior again this year in advanced theater. He was my favorite teacher and he showed me how to love theater. I am praying for you and your family and want you to know that everything I do this year in theater I am going to do even better because I know that is what Mr. Prior would want. He really will be missed.
I am so sorry. May God hold you close and help you.
ReplyDeleteRonni I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you and your family. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
