My brother just sent me this in an email. It is a beautiful story that perfectly explains this Tag You're It program! The world is a hard place right now...and you never know what could be going on in one of your own friend's lives. Reaching out and telling them they are special could be just what they need on any given day....to help them make it through a rough time they are having. Or even just being reminded that someone is there for you anytime is a great reassurance...even if your life is going perfect. It's always nice to know someone has your back. My brother Bill and I are like that...we have each others backs...and it's awesome to know that! Thanks for the blue ribbon Bill...right back at you! And I went online right away and designed and ordered the materials to make some of these ribbons to add to this blog! I haven't decided how they will be distributed yet...but, I know I had to do this! This is such a touching story! It is so hard now...(with so many double income families and single parents trying to make ends meet and raise their families)...to find the time to make sure that EVEN YOUR KIDS KNOW HOW SPECIAL YOU THINK THEY ARE! And even when they know...the pressures today in this crazy world get in the way. It is so easy to get confused about your path. I wanted to post this in special memory of Marie's son, Michael, who took his own life over a year ago. I hope that in some way this program that gets started with ribbon tagging...helps someone out there in need. Even just one person...one life...would be great!
Thanks for sharing Bill!
You are VERY special to me!!! I LOVE YOU!!! =0)
...and it's an honor to be your lil sister
I have seen this before in an email and cried my eyes out! This is so touching and exactly the message of your blog and "tag you're it!" It really doesn't take much to acknowledge others but we just sadly don't take the time out of our own days to do it often enough!
