You Are Special
This was sent to me by Angelia Howard:
Mark was walking home from school one day when he
noticed the boy ahead of him had tripped and dropped
all of the books he was carrying, along with two
sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape
recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick
up the scattered articles. Since they were going
the same way, he helped to carry part of the burden.
As they walked Mark discovered the boy's name was Bill,
that he loved video games, baseball and history, and
that he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects
and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.
They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was
invited in for a Coke and to watch some television.
The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs
and some shared small talk, then Mark went home. They
continued to see each other around school, had lunch
together once or twice, then both graduated from
junior high school. They ended up in the same high
school where they had brief contacts over the years.
Finally the long-awaited senior year came and three
weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could
talk. Bill reminded him of the day years ago
when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why
I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked
Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker because
I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I
had stored away some of my mothers sleeping pills and
I was going home to commit suicide. But after we
spent some time together talking and laughing, I
realized that if I had killed myself, I would have
missed that time and so many others that might follow.
So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books
that day, you did a lot more, you saved my life".
Every little hello, every little smile, every
helping hand saves a hurting heart. Pass it on.
With this email also comes the token that says
