The Strange Case of Dr. Joseph Sonnier

[@normanomicon]

Dear Mike...I want to say thank you to you. I'm a 54 year old woman with 2 terminal diseases. I spend my life bedridden or stuck on a dialysis machine, and it gets so, so lonely. Due to being bedridden, I don't have any friends to talk to, and only an adult son for family. Most of the time I am very, very sick or in a great deal of pain-I try to smile through it all, but it gets really hard sometimes. Then one day, by sheer accident, I found your channel. I cannot tell you how much you've brightened my life! Yes, the stories are sad and sometimes even truly horrible (murder just is, ya know?), but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about your personality. You are so awesome! You make me laugh, smile, and help me to forget the pain, even if only for a little while. You give me something to look forward to-and that's a precious thing, indeed. Thank you, Mike, thank you so very much. Don't ever doubt the impact you have on people. You're a true blessing to me, and I thank you dearly. God bless you, kiddo!

[@FlameFlickers]

MrAsap2000as, adults who face tragedy are not always fine. They can go into deep depression, become alcoholics or drug addicts. I believe it was on this channel that featured a story of a married woman who didn't take her her grandfather's death very well. She ended up murdering her teenage daughters

Rosa Ruiz, it wasn't until I read your comment that I realized that I had heard of this tragic case before. I thought it was so horrible for the sons to have their mother murdered and then their father years later.
