Every time I hear this song, it grips my heart.
I get to thinking about someone I knew who committed suicide.
I think about the FIVE people who went to or worked at my high school who committed suicide in just the 4 years I was there.
I think about the several people I know who threatened.
I remember the trips to teachers I trusted...to counselors who let me down.
I remember the late night phone calls...and text messages when we couldn't be heard.
But it still happens. And sometimes, there isn't anything that can be done.
But many times...there is.
We can look more. We can listen more. We can love more.
We can treat someone to lunch.
We can simply smile as we pass by.
"Small things" touch lives more than we will ever know.
What "small things" have you done lately?
