I was thinking of angels yesterday - the heavenly messengers. Of course there is another kind. Have you ever heard someone say "She is such an angel"? Of course they mean the person is nice and kind. We should all want to be that kind of angel.

Dianne Feinstein
California's Senior US Senator and former San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein died last night. In her memory this morning, I offer the encouragement that comes from her own words. She very wisely said "We're not perfect, and there are some dark patches in our past, but what makes us special is that we recognize these evils, we come to grips with them, and we fix them."

Missing Wilson
I miss Wilson Fang! Eight years ago on this date he passed away. I'm so lucky he spent some time with me. He easily could have been the poster-person for this blog. Wilson was one of the kindest people I ever met. I hope I can be as wonderful a person as Wilson was. Such great memories of such a terrific person.

Remembering
"Remember the hours after September 11 when we came together as one! It was the worst day we have ever seen, but it brought out the best in all of us." -Former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry

Stay
I am saddened every time I hear that someone has taken their own life. Everything is not perfect, but there is so much to stick around for. Stay. If you need help, ask. If you know of someone who needs help, help them. Don't wait until it's too late.

Suicide Prevention Month
September is Suicide Prevention Month, and I'm going to say something about this several times. While suicide prevention must be addressed year-round, the month of September especially reminds us that we can make an impact and help those in crisis and their loved ones. Every life is important.
