Have you ever met a person, like what I asked in the subject line..and either never saw them again (and had really wanted to, or perhaps, didn't care to, or want to)?
Also, did they,(you think) show up in your life to "show or teach" you something(s)...and what did you learn, or see that you wouldn't have known before...and did this person help you in any good way?

I love this question, because I'm a big believer in certain people coming into your life for certain reasons. Sometimes you just wonder why though???Maybe its because your on a journey and your on the wrong road and everyone else thats came into your life up until the point of this new friend has observed you being on the wrong road and didn't care enough or maybe just didn't want to take the time to pick you up gently and put you on the right road going the right direction. When you finally realize the impact this person has made in your life without maybe her or him even knowing they made that kind of impact on your life its just undescribable. That person that touches a life like that has a very special place in heaven set aside for him or her. Thats the most unselfish love someone could give to another.
Its confusing to express in words for me, its a feeling you can get. But, to tell you the truth they teach you so much in a way thats the "unknown"... I've become more real, and have grown extremley comfortable with who I am and what I have in my life. If someone doesn't want to get to know you because you have more than one child...or the color of your hair or the job you have, well, there just not worth your time anyway. To be able to communicate and be honest is key and I've learned that too. When you loose something you love you become stronger and believe everything happens for a reason and God just sometimes wants you to learn something more and maybe thats why he allowed it to happen, to walk through the fire and come out purified on the other side. Patience is huge, without it mistakes are going to be made which could be avoided if you take your time. To keep learning and reading is vital for anyone, you never stop learning... to be open to that is very important.
My eyes are open not closed anymore and I can honestly say Im on the right track although Im swaying of my road, I know its the devil and he's so pissed off. I've felt more attacks this new year but he wont win. What Im going threw I would NEVER wish upon my worst enemy or anyone else for that matter. My head is spinning, lifes not fair.

I was 17 ,single and 7 months pregnant when I lost my job.I had just spent my pay check on some baby clothes and had enough money to pay for a room at the YWCA. It was a live-in babysitter and housekeeping job I had.They gave me my notice on a sat. morning.My room was needed for a relative that was coming to stay for a while and therefore I was no longer needed.I was new to the city and knew no one except my Dr, social worker and the family I was working for the last 2 mo. A very kind lady at the Y
lent me 40.00 for meals till I could get in touch with my social worker on Monday morning. She was not from the city either.
She gave me her address and I repaid the money back the following wk. I never saw or heard from her again. I am sure she was thinking the same about me when she loaned me the money.I was very lucky to have met her.

In fifth grade I met the best friend I have ever had. Her name was Xeena. As I got to know her she became like a sister to me. We never EVER fought, I mean really never. It was so strange, because she was only there at my school for that one year, but we got so close. She was really into religions that might be considered "out there" and she was very spiritual and focused on music. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have gone on my own religious search and I wouldn't have ended up where I am now; happily accepting the possibility of all religions as the truth. I owe any openmindedness I have to her. That grade especially was difficult for me because I didn't get along with the other people in my grade, but she was always there for me. Also because of her, I'm grateful for her love of music. If she hadn't been there I would have still been stuck in the pop style with britney spears and only rap (not that I dislike rap), but she showed me that there was so much more to music than just what was playing on the radio. She moved away since that year, and isn't on the healthiest of lifestyles now, but there is just no way to fully say how grateful I am to her for being that sister figure to me, and I know I'm sounding so corny, but I really love her and miss her because she changed my life.

Well, I met this guy at work, he was one of my co-workers and we had such an amazing chemistry. We were both engaged in a relationship with other people, but knew about our feelings. Now, I Left the job to go back to school and he left a month later...we never did anything about it...we lost contact and i still think about him. Lesson: Never be afraid to tell someone how you really feel about them, even if you look like an idiot, because at least you know you tried...

Yes, & I will be forever grateful for it. I'm straight & My sister-inlaw is gay. She came over with a new date. My exposure & understanding of gay/lesbian was limited. They broke up a few weeks later but Judy, her friend has been there for me for every surgery, funeral,holiday alone, my son's wedding and I have tried to do the same. I have never had so much fun with any of my girlfriend!! What she has taught me is tolerance of people in general. Because her's has been a life of taunting & teasing, you'd think she'd be bitter. No, she just the opposite. She's been my best friend for 10 wonderful yrs.

i think each new person who comes into your life is there for a reason u learn from them but remember they learn from u too we're all put on this earth to help someone even if we never realized we helped them just walking past someone on the street who looks like their having a bad day may feel better just because u smiled at them i hope your having a good day

Great question!! My ex would be that person. He taught me that it's ok to open up and show people that I'm compassionate and loving. I believe that he was a seasonal person. Since we broke up I haven't seen him or heard from him.... which is odd because we live in the same state and he was attending school in the city I live in.

Many, most, maybe all.
A birthdaughter to give me a greater capacity to deal with emotional pain , torment, she helped me discover my hidden childhood, my own unforgiveness of others in my past.
How to depend on God only for help.
A best friend who gave his life for me "litteraly" trying to help and convince me that God was the only answer to the solution, he showed me his capacity of love for me, he had bad problems with his daughter of the same name as mine, God worked a miracle there and his daughter and son in law are being used for good all over the world by their testimony.
My wife who has all the qualities that i needed going through my torments. Absolutely sent as my angel.
Little angels in the form of sons and daughters, God sent me to help sooth my tired soul and comfort my distress while through the trial.
So the trial has shown me those sent to care for me, given me
the stamina to "hold on" count the blessings I do have, and not depend on the birthdaughter that hates me to make everything "alright", but just depend on Him for all the help needed or ever needed, Him. All i need is His forgiveness, not hers, she will have to deal with her own unforgiveness, I can't fix that, only God can.
