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.
