Question

The students at Sandy’s high school were badly shaken by the news that a classmate had 36 himself. The suicide note read: “It’s hard to 37 when nobody cares if you die.”

Glen, a teacher, realized this was a 38 moment about the importance of making people feel 39 . He asked his class to imagine they were about to 40 and to write a note “telling someone how and why you 41 him or her.”

Sandy, who had a 42 relationship with her mother, decided to write her 43 . Her letter read: “We’ve had some 44 times and I haven’t always been a very good 45 ,but I know I’m lucky to have you in my life. You’re the 46 person I’ve ever known, And even when I disagree with you, I never 47 you love me and want what’s best for me. Thanks for not 48 up on me”.

When her mom read the note, she cried and hugged Sandy 49 but said little.

The next morning, Sandy found a 50 on her mirror: “Dearest Sandy, I want you to know being your mother is ,by far, the most important thing in my life. 51 I got your note, I thought I had lost your love and 52 . I felt like such a failure. I intended to 53 it all last night. Your note saved my 54 .”

Be careful not to underestimate the 55 of expressed appreciation. It won’t always save a life, but it will always make someone’s life better.
