It's so hard sometimes, to see a person hurting and one feels helpless or useless cause one feels like they can do much more...

it is already hard in real life, when we see someone that we care about suffering and all we can do is just listen, or pat them on their backs, or wait for them to reach out.

But I know that most will agree that sometimes, that actually means more than anything, just to let them know that you are there when they are ready.

It IS harder in this here umm forum cause even though we know that a lot of us are hurting, we can only reach out through this white screen and type and let them know that we are thinking of them...

I know for me, that when I am hurting, that reading your wonderful words, whether posted to me or to others, brings a lot of COMFORT to my heart.

I think we HOLD each other's hands in this here them forum and we do it without realizing it...

through the invisible electronic signal and the world wide web. Somehow, we help each other out.

If we call suicide thoughts and surviving suicide a "handicap" or "disability"

then, we are certainly helping each other and supporting one another with the other's "handicaps" by HOLDING THEIR HANDS

I found this dance awhile ago, I was hesitant to post it. But finally decided to, cause it reminded me of this forum, of us, helping each other through...

the man has only one leg, and the woman has only one hand. And what they've done for each other, is incredibly beautiful...

please be patient with the video. You might want to adjust the the dial pass the 35 seconds mark. The first 35 seconds are just station identification.

you might want to make it full screen to enjoy it better.
