I wanted to share something that has been on my heart for a while and I apologize if I come across as preachy, I don't mean to. I have learned so much from this experience and that our actions count. I feel like a family at this site, and am proud to know so many of you who have stepped up to the plate and taken action. As my dad says, we add to our bank account in heaven when we do things like this.

But the thought I had was, if "I" had run into Terri (before her situation) in an elevator, would I have smiled or said hello? I pass by people every day and don't acknowledge them as much as I should. Why does it take a tragedy for me to acknowledge someone. I should do it always to everyone, even if they don't deserve it. Who knows, the rude woman in front of me in the grocery line, could be another Terri tomorrow!

I once read that a powerful cure for depression is when we give to others, a smile, saying hello, offering help. I believe that now.

God bless everyone of you!
