I cannot tell you how much this young girls message means to me. It made me cry this morning. Not tears of sadness but tears of hope. Hope that kids are being comforted knowing they are not alone in their struggles. My heart is beaming with pride that Arthur is still, as always helping someone in need. This is what this blog is all about.

Hi, I just found your page and blog, and I just wanted to say thank you. I am a teen not much older than Arthur was when he passed. I struggle with mental illness and bullying, and I have tried to hurt myself to end the pain. When I read your blog I just got this new hope, which I don’t have much of anymore. It made me realize how important it is to think about how much the people who love me would hurt. Just thank you. I don’t know if you will read this, but I decided it was worth a shot. Thank you for sharing your son’s story. Just remember every day that you do, you might be saving another life. Thank you.
Lann I can only imagine what you felt when you read this young persons comment to your blog this morning. It just proves what you set out to do, which was to reach out to these young people.
I hope when people read your blog today they will hear the voice of this young girl and know how important it is to reach out and let these kids know someone really does care and understands.
Love you
