Will You Be There For Me?
My Mother Used To Ask Me What The Most Important Part Of The Body Was. Through The Years, I Would Take A Guess At What I Thought Sound Was Very Important To Us As Humans, So I Said, "My Ears, Mommy."
She Said, "No, Many People Are Deaf. But You Keep Thinking About It and I Will Ask You Again Soon." Several Years Passed Before She Asked Me Again.
Since Making My First Attempt, I Had Contemplated The Correct Answer. So This Time I Told Her, "Mummy, Sight Is Very Important. So It Must Be Our Eyes." She Looked At Me And Told Me, "You Are Learning Fast, But The Answer Is Not Correct Because There Are Many People Who Are Blind."
Stumped Again, I Continued My Quest For Knowledge And, Over The Years, Mummy Asked Me A Couple Of More Times- And Her Answer Was Always: "No. But You Are Getting Smarter Every Year, My Child." Then Last Year, My Grandpa Died. Everybody Was Hurt. Every Body Was Crying. Even My Father Cried. I Remember That Especially Because It Was Only The Second Time I Saw Him Cry.
My Mummy Looked At Me When It Was Our Turn To Say Our Turn To Say Our Final Good Bye To Grandpa.She Asked Me, "Do You Know The Most Important Body Part Yet, My Dear?" I Was Shocked When She Asked Me This Now. I Always Thought This Was A Game Between Her And Me.
She Saw The Confusion On My Face And Told Me, "This Question Is Very Important. It Shows That You Have Really Lived In Your Life. For Every Body Part You Gave Me In The Past, I Have Told You Was Wrong And I Have Given You An Example Why. But Today Is The Day You Need To Learn
This Important Lesson." She Looked Down At Me As Only A Mother Can. I Saw Her Eyes Well Up With Tears. She Said, "My Dear, The Most Important Body Part Is Your Shoulder." I Asked, "Is It Because It Holds Up My Head?"
She Replied, "No, It Is Because It Can Hold The Head Of A Friend Or A Loved One When They Cry. Everybody Needs A Shoulder To Cry On Some Time In Life, My Dear. I Only Hope That You Have Enough Love And Friends That You Will Always Have A Shoulder To Cry On When You Need It." Then And There I Knew That The Most Important Body Part Is Not A Selfish One.
It Is Sympathetic To The Pain Of Others.
People Will Forget What You Said...
People Will Forget What You Did...
But People Will Never Forget How You Made Them Feel.
Every Body Needs A Shoulder To Cry On Some Time In Life. Emotional Support Is The Greatest Service We Can Render To Each Other.
