Have you ever encountered anyone that made such an impression on you that you still think of that person till today?
Was it someone you loved, and sadly lost?
Was it someone who changed your outlook on life, for the better?
Was it someone who stood by you through thick and thin?
What kind of incident has stayed with you all this time, making you smile or sad when dwelling on it?
An experience of a lifetime, perhaps, one that can never be rivalled?
As for me, I was fortunate enough to have met this one person at the most unlikeliest of places. I cherish him as he does me and treasure all the memories.
Thank you for taking the time to answer.

While in the US Army, I began writing to a girl back home that I had known for a long time and considered her a very good friend. The joy that I experienced when I received her first letter was beyond my greatest expectations..We continued to write to each other and after I got out of the Army, we dated for a while and I was so much in love that I was truly on cloud 9. I thought my girlfriend was the most beautiful girl in the world and I wanted so much for her to be my wife. I truly loved her with all my heart but unfortunately her feelings were not as strong as mine and we eventually broke up and she later married someone else. Our breakup was one of the most terrible times of my life. Coming off of cloud 9 and going in to the deepest pit of heartache was almost too much for me to handle. I felt as though I had nothing more to live for and often thought of just ending my life. I thank God for helping me to survive this most heart breaking time in my life. Since then, I have married a wonderful woman and have four great children but I will never get over the joy I experienced when I was dating my childhood friend. I still think of her at times and wonder how she is doing. Some times I think I would like to talk to her and thank her for letting me find out how it really feels to truly fall in love with someone. It was absolutely the most wonderful feeling I've ever had in my life, I guess because it really came from my heart. I will always cherish the good memories I have of us together.

My planned home birth with my son is and will be the single most incredible event of my life. My hospital births pale in comparission.
I've met more than a few famous musicians. I've travelled the world. Married the man of my dreams. Won a few awards.
I doubt I'll ever win the lotto or travel to space but those are the only two things I can think that would even come close to the happiness and empowerment I gained from having a wonderful homebirth!

I have always belonged to a group with four other girls; we have known each other forever. We played together as kids and we all
got involved with music and eventually had our own band (just local, nothing famous, just a lot of fun and friendship). The five of us were like sisters and coincidentally were born within just a month of each other. We had our own things too, but we were always a tight-knit group. We got invited to a studio to record in some sessions, which was a thrill in itself, but we also found out that Lindsay Buckingham was visiting the studio that day and we all got to meet him. I guess that was one of my favorite thrills.
Our group has now sadly dwindled. Justy, our keyboard player, died from heart failure a couple of years ago (she was 28) and our drummer, Ari, had a bad spill on a patch of ice last winter and died from a brain hemorrhage.
I still get sad about it at times, but I remember all the fun we had growing up. I still stay in touch with the other two group member, twin sisters Roxxy and Sissy, but I have now moved away from my former home in Wisconsin to teach school (arts and music) at some Native American reservation schools.
Good memories remain and new one are waiting to be found.

There are loads of people and places that have made a profound impression upon me.
The persons of late are my son (aged 9 yrs old) who keeps me on my toes and makes me laugh. He is the constant in my otherwise hectic, frantic life. He will always be there for me.
The other person in my life is David. A truest of loves I have ever encountered. The man who I have always thought about but never thought i could find. A person who makes me grow and keeps me real and humble.
this is a truely great question and i would love to go on and on but this is the answer i will leave off with.

My last love. I was studying abroad and working on archaeological sites outside of Ankara, Turkey. I met an amazing guy in a bar, and I have never been treated so well in my life. Our time together was very short, but very intense, it was "love at first sight" for both of us, and I am a very pragmatic person and never believed in that thing before I met him. Our last night together I left him a note telling him not to wait for me and to move on with his life and I still regret it, I miss him a lot, but he helped me so much, particularly with my self-esteem and confidence. I have never loved someone like that ever before...and I'll probably never see him again. If he called me this second and asked me to marry him I would. I know this all sounds crazy, but it's really true.

He was very special. I had brothers but they weren't so great. 13 years ago I went to church and met a man. It was sad because he was married but his wife refused to go to church with him. I guess she had been hurt in church before. Anyway we called him Brother John and he was such a friend to everyone. He looked at me as his little sister and was always going out of the way to make people feel good. He had this way of making everyone feel important. Unfortunately he died 10 years ago. He never got to meet my husband or see our son and I hate that. I know he is with Jesus and I'll see him again but I will miss him until then.

My best friend alexa. She has always been there for me nomatter what. She stands up for me when people bother me or say rude things. Whenever Im sad, she always does the sweetest things for me, and when I somtimes loose hope on things, she always tries her hardest to keep me looking on the bright side. Shes always been tere for me. She always takes the time to listen to me when I have a problem. Shes never lied to me once. Once she made a me a surprise party on my 13th birthday and got my whole family to come. She even saved her money to get me the coolest birthday present. The one I wanted all year. I try my hardest to be that great of a friend to her as she is to me.I still know alexa, and I think we will be best friends our whole lives.

Yes, first it would have to be my mother who accepted me & loved me as I am, but also I had a very dear friend for 14 years. He just died recently & very suddenly. He was a philosopher. He didn't judge. I cried on his shoulder many times & talked to him until the wee hours of the morning. I miss him.

i was 11 when I came to the US from Portugal. Over there houses are made of brick and stone. Imagine my surprize as I flew over she shabby part of Boston before landing at Logan. My mother and I both cried looking at the "wood shacks".

Phillip and Wanda W. They led me to the Lord and spent huge amounts of time talking to me, answering my questions, praying for me and really sacrificing their time to help me grow spiritually. We live far apart now, but I still see their faces and hear their voices in my head when some situation comes up that we talked about. Thank you Phillip and Wanda! I love you!
