Death By Mental Illness

 Naomi Judd bought the big one April 30, 2022. The Judd family issued a statement that said Naomi had died of "mental illness." I knew what that meant. Suicide. On account of I've seen a freighter load of death in my time. Suicides, murders, mysterious causes, and some other weird shit I still can't explain. So now the Judd daughter Ashley issued a statement that read Naomi had suicided by handgun. The Judd daughter Ashley broke clean about her mom on Thursday May 12, 2022. Evidently Naomi had some serious funk for just about her entire adult life and possibly from her early days. Damn sad no doubt. I know how the Judd girls feel. My old man ate a 12 gauge aspirin a long time ago. Surprise surprise... You just are never able to reach any kind of closure...ever. At least not so far. So many questions...

So here's a stolen and rearranged tribute for the Judd girls. 

Apologies to Lennon/McCartney -

Mom blew her mind out on the farm...

She hadn't noticed that the times have changed...

And so the news was rather sad...

Well I just had to make several wise ass remarks...

suicide is a damn puzzling end to a life. no answers for the ones left behind. not one. there's a load of pain and torment. some of that passes in time but not all of it. 😬
