Dear Mr. Kitahata, Please don't kill yourself. I have no idea what you're going through right now, but I can imagine that you feel a great weight on your shoulders and you might perceive a certain hopelessness in your circumstances. Someone very close to me has at times expressed suicidal thoughts and it pangs my heart to think of a world without him. In the end, all I can do is show him love and hope he reaches out to embrace that love. I would ask that you do the same. Please read the pleas from the dozens of people writing you and know there are hundreds more out there rooting for you to take the first step in helping yourself.
