Grief Quote by Eric Nickel
“I just want to go home. See my wife, play with my girls. I just want to matter again. When will this f**king nightmare end? Surely I have earned my place. I can't end my life, for it would hurt them to much. What now? Try in vain to inspire others that do not care? Pretend I matter to anyone? I just want to go home.”
