Mitch Albom _ For One More Day
Let me guess. You want to know why I tried to kill myself. You want to know how I survived. Why I disappeared. Where I've been all this time. But first, why I tried to kill myself, right? It's OK.

It's like this line is drawn somewhere in the world and if you never cross it, you'll never consider throwing yourself off a building or swallowing a bottle of pills – but if you do, you might. People figure I crossed the line. They ask themselves, "Could I ever get as close as he did?" The truth is, there is no line. There's only your life, how you mess it up, and who is there to save you. Or who isn't.

Mitch Albom _ For One More Day
He was pitching to me before I could walk. He gave me wooden bat before my mother let me use scissors. He said I could make the major leagues one day if I had "a plan," and if I "stuck to the plan"Of course, when you're that young, you nest in your parents' plans, not your own.
