Sometime you come across a story of people doing the right thing.  We are each other's keeper, and no place is this more important than with suicide.  This is a story of a man who saw a woman jumping from a height, and put himself in her way breaking her fall, which would have been fatal had not he intervene.  The hero is from Stockton, and the person who attempted from San Jose.  I live near Stockton and work in San Jose.  May we all care for each other. 

Bay Area Walks to Prevent Suicide

Awareness is and important part of beating suicide; awareness and personal responsibility.  Suicide takes too many of our loved ones and friends before their time.  This is a preventable cause of death, but is always up there in the top ten, it especially hits young people, which makes it even more control.  By responsibility, we need to all be willing to take a part in intervention.  "Are you Okay?" is a question we need to ask more often.  We need to ask this of our loved ones, of our friends, and even of strangers if they appear sad or distressed.  You can save a live.
