Ian just want to encourage you today, I know your heart and your purpose. Your an amazing person and have touched the lives of many by your words. You didn't have to do this, you could have just sat back and listened as people cried out for an answer but you refused to just sit and listen you spoke out and so many people listened. Keep praising God cause He is working through you!
To: unknown..? I do not profess to be the greatest friend, dad, or person for that matter. However, I must share with you that, thankfully, YOU are NOT the measure that God will use to judge me. Furthermore, be aware that the same measure you judge me with, the Lord will use to judge you. My prayer is that the Lord deliver you (whoever you are) from whatever anger and bitterness you seem to be holding against me. May the Lord shower His mercy on you, and not His judgment.
This is very sweet and inspiring:) I'm a freshman at MHS and this isn't how I pictured my freshman year.. the whole school is hurting from these three losses and it's people like you that can give others hope. God bless<3
I am a senior at Milan High and I would like to thank you so much for this video that you made. It's so kind of you to think of our school in this way. God Bless You :)
From one Belleville Grad to another, Thanks for your inspirational PSA and song. Your heartfelt words will touch tender hearts going through trying times and just might change their minds with something they may have rashly done. I am proud of you Mr. Gold!!
Thank you for a thoughtful and touching song. Ian has a beautiful voice, this should be played on radio stations-kids today need to hear more positive and uplifting messages like this!
Absolutely Amazing. Listening to this gives me hope that we will all over come this together, as a school. Thank you so much for posting this. God bless.
Thank you for taking the time to record this. It would have been much easier to do nothing. The fact that you took the time to think it out, record it, sing it, post it, and figure out how to get it to Milan, speaks volume of your character. Please know it has reached us, the Chamber of Commerce, the City of Milan, the Milan Area Schools, many businesses, and many residents have now seen it, reposted it and are sharing your encouraging words. God bless.
I graduated from Milan High School and hearing about all of this has truly saddened me. This song and your thoughts are so powerful and thoughtful. Thank you, from myself and from those I know are so deeply effected...
Thank you for sharing this song with us- beautiful!
My nephew Brian was one of the students from Milan that took his life- I only with he could have heard this song. My kids attend Milan too and all of the students and my family and friends are hurting! Thank you and God Bless you for your kindness and caring!
Thank you for taking the time to act upon the leading in your spirit and posting this song. It is beautiful! You only need to reach ONE to make a difference. God Bless!

Lyrics: Verse 1 I was walking One day And I saw you in Such a special way Leaves blowing in the wind Rain falling from the sky Sun shining on my face A twinkle in my eye You said you'd be with me always And if I take a closer look I'll see you all day Chorus: I'm never Alone (4x) Verse 2 If we take a closer look Then we'll see Love all around you And all around me If you're sitting in a class Or playing on the field Or running in a park Or locked up behind bars Repeat Chorus
this is great. thank you for caring for our school in our time of need. could you put the lyrics up though. id like to read it though because sometimes its hard to understand you. Thanks! :D
Wow. Thanks so much for the kind words and great song. I am a teacher at Milan HS and I saw this posted by another teacher on facebook. Then I went "OMG" that is Ian Gold he was an NFL player. Then I looked up what you do now and was very impressed with how you are trying to help kids. I am also the Baseball Coach at Milan and Eric (the most recent suicide) was a member of the team. I will let the basketball/ baseball players know of your support. Thanks--Adam GIlles
Ian, your words are a blessing, thank you for showing your love and support. I pray that your words will reach souls that are crying out for an answer. God is doing amazing things through you! God Bless
Thank you so much Mr. Gold for this beautiful message. I am a teacher in Milan & our community needs this support and love right now. We would love to have you speak to our youth. Hopefully it will come to pass! God Bless!
Excellent Message ! Continue to reach out, build bridges and provide the avenues that you have for our young people throughout this country and the world. Your efforts are exemplary, meaningful and appreciated. I will share this link with many as I am currently an administrator in a high School. Thank You Brother Ian "Never Alone" Gold !
Awesome! There are many children/youth that I interact with daily as an educator/law enforcement professional and the common denominator is that they ALL feel alone whether expressed or implied. Thank you for your words - Never Alone!

Are these words an actual reflection of who you are as a person? as a friend or a father? i know better than that.
Let your words be the genuine picture of your heart--for Jesus can see your insides, past present and future.
Perhaps you should quit searching for a purpose and just try to be a good man.
