The students at Sandy’s high school were badly shaken by the news that a classmate had 11 himself. On the suicide note was written: “It’s hard to 12 when nobody cares if you die.”
Glen, a teacher, realized this was a 13 moment about the importance of making people feel
14 . He asked his class to imagine they were about to 15 and to write a note “telling someone how and why you 16 him or her.”
Sandy, who had a 17 relationship with her mother, decided to write her mother. Her letter 18 “We’ve had some 19 times and I haven’t always been a very good 20 ,but I know I’m lucky to have you in my life. You’re the 21 person I’ve ever known, And even when I disagree with you, I never 22 you love me and want what’s best for me. Thanks for not 23 up on me”.
When her mom read the note, she cried and hugged Sandy 24 but said little.
The next morning, Sandy found a 25 on her mirror: “Dearest Sandy, I want you to know being your mother is ,by far, the most important thing in my life. 26 I got your note, I thought I had lost your love and 27 . I felt like such a failure. I intended to 28 it all last night. Your note saved my 29 .”
Be careful not to underestimate the 30 of expressed appreciation. It won’t always save a life, but it will always make someone’s life better.
