On the morning of May 3, 2023, my father, Lance Blanks, took his life.
People will ask, "How did we not see it?"
And people will say, "This wasn't him. Someone like him wouldn't do this."
People will want more information.
But the fact is we will never truly know why. And we don't need to. All we need to do is remember him, honor him, celebrate him and pour our love into the family that made him happy.
All we need to know is that, oftentimes, the people in the most pain are the giants in our lives.
