Semicolon tattoos, faith and mental illness

There are many reasons for getting a tattoo.  Having several myself each has a different meaning and reason.  I have seen many post on Facebook about the Project Semicolon.  Amy Bleuel started Semicolon Project to honor her father who took his own life.  The semicolon is have a symbol to signify a new bring to those who have attempted suicide, those who live with depression,  addiction and self injury.  I find that the outcome of what could have been lead to a long path of darkness has lead to something great.  
Here are links to a few articles.  Along with links to the website for Project Semicolon and the Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
