    I want to read this but I'm afraid to... People are saying it is sad and involves bullying . So Im afraid the ending will be suicide . I'm not sure I can handle a story like that at this time .. Are my assumptions correct ?
    No :smile:

    Great thanks ! I will take the time to read it !

    Awesome, very inspiring! Do you have the original blog post?

    That's the first source I know of it, where I found it. Don't know if it was written by the owner or not.

    You don't always know when you're making an impact on someone's life.

    That was very touching. Makes one think twice about how they should treat people for sure.

    People can be so ****ing cruel. This is an incredible story, thanks for sharing. Out of curiousity, did he know he was ill, that he knew to leave you a letter like that?

    Yes, there are many folks doing the best they can but getting no respect. I certainly cannot say that I am always as compassionate as I should. But stories like these help to remind me that all is not as it appears. It also reminds me of another long post (actually a commencement address given by author David Foster Wallace), it can be found at http://moreintelligentlife.com/story/david-foster-wallace-in-his-own-words.

    Awesome story and a great testament that you never know who a person is or where they come from or even what they have to offer to you and the world until you get involved in their lives!!! Thank you for sharing (and making me cry)!!!!
