My fiance and I have used Gmail to help his son recover. Stuck in the ICU for weeks after a life threatening injury is not the best way for a 12 year old to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas. We set up a Gmail account for him so that his friends, who live too far away to come visit him in the hospital, can talk to him, and keep his spirits up until he is well enough to go home. Even his teachers have given the email out in school, so that classmates can communicate with him and make sure he remains a part of the class while he's gone.
