Prevention...what does one say to the repairman on the pantry floor, in tears from a phone call he's just answered. His only brother, his younger brother has just attempted suicide for the third time...serious attempts that he's been saved from before.

What does one say to this stranger that can offer some hope when in your heart you are pretty darn sure that one of those phone calls will bring news of his success.

Well, we shared one of "those" hugs and exchanged emails addresses and when he left...I prayed for them all.

I'm still reeling from the experience last Thursday.
