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.
