This story relates to the daughter of a colleague of my sister in law.

She had only been in Japan for a week. She was an exchange student from Latrobe Uni. Her mother is a teacher and the principal of the school got a call from Latrobe yesterday and had to break the news to her mother.

My sister in law suffers from depression and last night she couldn't cope so ended up taking too many sleeping tablets so I had to take her to hospital.

I suppose it make me feel like life can be cut short so easily.
