This week there was very sad news in my family. A relative had committed suicide. Near the suicide note there was a poem that was printed out. It was not something he wrote - it appeared to be printed off from the internet and my family would love to know who wrote it/where it came from, etc.
It rang a bell because it was also found in the room of a child in the area who was contemplating it (they didn't know eachother)
they both had visited suicide sites. (suicide sites were on the screen when the cops came in)
Anyhow, I am sorry i don't have the poem with me .It is "Untitled"
and it has in it "i will love you always"
and throughout the poem it repeats
something something something ALways
something something Always
and something about even when my breath is expired/leaves please remember I will love you always.

Sorry my memory may be foggy because i am so stressed out - but if that rings a bell with ANYONE, please respond.

I'm trying to do some research for my boyfriend's father who was in the US Air Force in the 1960's and was stationed in what he has referred to as 'French Speaking Congo'. Since this is a surprise for him, I can't ask him details, but after doing historical research, I'm lost as to which former colony he is referring to. French Equatorial Africa? Democratic Republic of Congo? I just need to know what country it was in the 1960's so that I can download accurate data and graphics. (flags, maps, etc.) Can any history buffs out there help me out?
(ASAP for Father's Day? :) )

thanks!
