Desperation

Last friday a man jumped from the 11th floor of a parking garage near my office. It is my understanding that he had his own business as a financial advisor and was 40 years young. He left a note to either a wife or girlfriend to say that he loved her and that he was sorry. No clues as to what motivated him to take such a desperate measure. I can't help but wonder if on the way down, with the ground fast approaching, did he change his mind and wish he had not of jumped? He probably did.
