many blessings

Moments.  All of life is effected by little moments.  You may never realize how much of an impact these moments can have. As cliché as it sounds life really is precious.

   What's brought upon my thinking of this is...yesterday I found out that a boy on our floor dad passed away.  He had four children and was in his early 50s.  I guess God has a plan for everyone; that's what I hope and believe anyway.  It's never going to seem fair when someone leaves this earth for whatever reason.  

    Yesterday a guy kept calling me from a number from another state and thought  I was someone different than myself.  He was looking for someone and I told him it wasn't me.  He kept calling and was convinced.  He texted me too saying sorry for the drama.  I didn't respond and had a friend of mine talk to him and tell him not to talk to me anymore but he still called.  Today he sent me a four page text message still thinking I was someone else and he said he was going to commit suicide and for me to have a good life.   This is the part of the story when I called the cops in the town where his area code was from, Minnesota.  The cops tracked him down using the phone number I gave them and he is from a mental institution home. The cops found him overdosing on pills.  It was scary when the cops called me back and told me. Then the man called me and said "thank you for helping [him]" and he just called me to say thank you.  I've never felt like I have saved a life before.  He texted me again so I called the cops and they went back to his house to delete my number and he said he just wanted to call me and tell me thank you for saving him.  How does a little 18 year old college student get connected with someone like this and have a situation occur like this?  For whatever reason when people told me to block his number I didn't and then in this case maybe his life was saved.  Hopefully this is the end of all of this and I hope this guy gets better.  Hopefully I don't have to deal with it anymore. 

   In any case as we are taking finals I'm extremely grateful for my life.  I love it even when times are tough;  there is ALWAYS someone facing a more difficult situation then you are.  There's always someone facing something alone.  I'm thankful for all of my friends and family.
