A few months ago, my friend wrote to me over Facebook, telling me how much she loved me, and how grateful she was to know me. She then disappeared for a couple minutes. When she came back, I asked her what was up. She told me how sad she was, and how much she just wanted to die. She said she just took a bunch of sleeping pills, and was ready to die. I started crying, and told her that I wished I could be there for her and if she survived this, I promised to be a better friend for her. For only a couple minutes we talked, and I told her how sorry I was she felt that way, and that I understood. She wrote: "I'm going to go to the hospital. Thank you, for everything."
I will never, ever forget how glad I am that I was online when I was. I can't imagine my life without her in it, and I just hope I can be there for people when they feel alone and really need someone, like I was that night.
