Dear Sister

I found this somber, enigmatic note posted on the Aurora Bridge this morning. It’s written in faded pen.

Dear Sister

It reads:

   Dear Sister,

     All is
       forgiven.

    Please
        come
           home

The full significance didn’t hit me until I remembered that the Aurora is one of the most popular suicide bridges in the US.  About two hundred and thirty people have leapt to their deaths in the last decade.

Commenting validates my miserable existence.
