Way before I was born, and even before my older sister was born, my mother had a still-born. (A still-born is when your baby dies, but is still born.) I don't know if you have seen or read Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who .. That movie is one of my favorites and it also has one of my favorite quotes "A person is a person no matter how small" (my parents put that quote on my brothers grave). To me it's a very inspirational quote. I love it!
I really, really want to know my older brother. When I'm really sad I think (deeply) about how my life would change, where I would live, what friends I would have.. but the one thing I should think about is that things happen for a reason. None of us know that reason, but what ever happened was supposed to happen. I really am grateful for my life and what I have. It's super important that we all know that. Now I realize everything that I have been through needed to happen for me. All the trials that I go through just make me stronger and I'm very, very thankful for that.

I normally can't follow up on blogs, but I will try on this one. I really want to make this an inspirational blog, where people can look at and feel inspired, and motivated.
Inspirational story.
A MOTHERS LOVE
By unknown Author
A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said:
For cutting the grass: $5.00
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00
For going to the store for you: $.50
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25
Taking out the garbage: $1.00
For getting a good report card: $5.00
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00
Total owed: $14.75
Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote:
For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me:
No Charge
For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you:
No Charge
For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years:
No Charge
For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead:
No Charge
For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose:
No Charge
Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is:
No Charge.
When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said, "Mom, I sure do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: "PAID IN FULL".
