A man once told some of us he was pondering suicide and I told him I would not be attending his funeral unless he first gave me a call to say "Goodbye"...and then he gave me the call a few days later and I was able to get a Sheriff's Deputy to intervene...and now today that man is my successful son-in-law.

Would your own reaction be different today?
