what can i do for you?

it is an interesting feeling knowing that one question can make someones day.
three years ago on April 14 was a day i should have asked this question.
people remember every birthday, every sports game they have ever played, what they where wearing, what they were doing, who they were with and where they were on septemeber 11, 2001, along with any important date in their life.
i don't.
i do remember what i was doing, who i was with and where i was on April 18 for the past three years.
i'm not living in the past or anything like that, it is just a very important date in my life, as well as April 14, when i should have asked my precious friend kyle, 'what can i do for you?' and instead i forgot to take him home.
if his death has taught me anything, it is to treat people with kindness and just love them and no, i do not do this all the time, and i should as should everyone because if everyone was kind and gentle not only to our friends, but to people we don't know... the suicide rate would go down. i just know it would.
so today, if not tomorrow or the next day or the next day, ask this question, 'what can i do for you?'
