When the doctors told us that my father was brain dead and we needed to make a decision to turn the life support machine off. I know it was the right thing to do, but those words haunt me and it has been 3 years.

Many times...... When I lost my parents, when my sister died, when my nephew found out he had cancer in his bones, and had to leave his 1st semester of college. He's only 18, and fighting for his life, with an attitude that amazes me with his positivity, daily.
But, the remark that sticks with me mostly, and makes me smile and tear up at the same time, was when a close friend tried to encourage me, through a situation that I thought I wasn't cut out for. She turned to me and said, "Michelle, you are the kind of person that walks into a room of 100 people, and instantly FEELS what 50 of them are feeling." I smiled at that. But, what really got to me was when she continued with, "Do you know what a burden that is?" It was a moment when I realized that someone actually "GOT" me, from the inside out.
I had been trying to break through the mind of a tormented horse for weeks. I felt incapable, and lost with this suffering animal. After my friend spoke those words to me, I went on to gain this animals' trust and faith, and she became my closest horse. Mariah went on to teach my own grandchildren how to ride, until she passed away last fall, after 19 years of a great life with me. She was 29 years old. Amazing what love and understanding can do for humans and animals alike.

Coming from a childhood full of beatings and put-downs, I get all choked up when I hear someone saying really fantastic things to their children. God's at work there.

yes, when my mother told me that I must choose a good course in college, one that could easily land me a job, for she won't always be there for me (it was just a few weeks ago)
and...
this one's in a letter...my close friend wrote to me that she feels so sad everytime she sees me crying and she doesn't know the reason why...

When I was sitting with my 3 year old son one day and he looked at me and said, "Mommy, you're my favorite". I was in tears. He makes my world every day.
