Perfect Timing

Here's one a friend told me awhile back

A girl I hung out with in high school came to class one day and looked kinda faraway. It seemed like she was lost in another world, and not a nice one. I couldn't figure out what could be bothering someone so much when she seemed to have everything going for her. I don't know why but I got the urge to finally tell her what a great person I thought she was. Nothing major, just something casual like "You know you're a really cool person to have around." A few weeks later she missed a week of class and I later found out she'd been hospitalized for severe depression. A few years later she thanked me by saying it was that simple statement that helped her hold on until she got the help she needed.
