The students at Sandy's high school were badly shaken by the news that a classmate had __
36 himself．The suicide note read: “It’s hard to
37 when nobody cares.”
Glen, a teacher, realized this was a
38 moment about the importance of making people feel _
39 ． He asked his class to imagine they were about to
_40 and to write a note "telling someone how and why you
_ 41 him or her."
Sandy, who had a
42_ relationship with her mother, decided to write her
_43 . Her letter read: "We've had some
44_ times and I haven't always been a very good
_ 45 , but I know I'm lucky to have you in my life． You're the
_ 46_ person I've ever known．And even when I disagree with you, I never _
47 _you love me and want what's best for me．Thanks for not
48 up me.”
When her mom read the note, she cried and hugged Sandy
49 but said little．
The next morning, Sandy found a
50 on her mirror: "Dearest Sandy, I want you to know being your mother is, by far, the most important thing in my life．
51_ I got your note , I thought I had lost your love and
52 . I felt like such a failure．I intended to
53 it all last night．Your note saved my
54 .”
Be careful not to underestimate(低估) the
55 of expressed appreciation. It won't always save a life, but it will always make someone's life better．
