Life
Today I received an e-mail that stopped me in my tracks:
Dear Trevor,
You don’t know me but you helped save my life. See, I am depressed and I often hate living. Sometimes I just want to end it all. I visit your blog most days and was so touched by the cancer kids you talked about yesterday. Seeing the pictures of those kids made me realize how valuable my life is and I just wanted to thank you. You’ll never know how much those kids helped me make up my mind to appreciate what I have instead of giving up and throwing it all away.
Jeff
Jeff said it was okay to share this e-mail and I'm doing that because so often, under a cloud of depression or sadness, we simply can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel until we become aware of others who are suffering terribly and how they cherish each and every day for what it is worth.
(I have been in touch with Jeff to offer him an ear and I have answered his e-mail under separate cover for obvious reasons.)

Jeff, I'm glad to hear that these little angels changed your mind. No matter how hard times get you can't give up. Life has lots of hurdles, you just have to jump over them. We can all learn a lot from these children, they never give up and are full of hope and dreams. I have learned this first hand from my own son (who passed away three months ago). He is truly an angel.
