Rev. Maclean:
Each one of us here today will at one time in our lives look upon a loved one who is in need and ask the same question: We are willing to help, Lord, but what, if anything, is needed?

And so it is those we live with and should know who elude us. But we can still love them - we can love completely without complete understanding.

    This is a quote my sister had posted 5 years ago, and shared as a memory on Facebook again 4 months before taking her own life due to mental illness this November.
    I wish I had been able to help her more, but I think this quote holds true. We can not hold regret in a situation like this, but we can only show love and do what we can to help, whether our help is wanted and heeded is up to the other person, and not to what we can do.
    I think this is a beautiful quote, from a wonderful movie.
    I wish to read the book now, and maybe it will remind me of my sister some day when I am much older and need a jog in my memory of some of our wonderful childhood memories when things were simpler.
    She was a beautiful and loving soul.
    Love you, your wonderful art, song, and introspection Jennifer Pitcher
