Has Someone Ever Touched Your Heart?

I have a teenager who lives here in town. She knows I'm a single mother and she has always tried to help me with things that I needed. She kept my kids when I needed a last minutes babysitter, cleaned my house, etc. She's just a great kid. She posted a blog the other day and wrote this about me, "You treat me as if I was your own child. You just seem to care for me alot. You have two kids of your own and still seem to care for me as your own. That's alot of work to raise two kids and treat me pretty much the same as you treat them. So thank you for doing that! Love you (momma)lol". She is such a blessing to me and I do treat her like she was my own child because she is so special to me. I honestly don't know what I would do or would have done in my life without her. Has someone ever touched your heart by letting you know that you touched their heart?

Hi my friend, That teenager sure seems like a very special person to me. The one person who has touched my heart is my sister-in-law. Even though she was diagnosed with brain cancer nine years ago, she still thinks of others besides herself. She has her good days and bad days, but it is all about everybody else not her. Happy MyLotting! Char

Wow that girl is a great kid! Don't let her out of your life because it's very rare to come around people like that these days. Sounds like she's the type that wouldn't let you down no matter what. That's great! My son said something really sweet to me and brought tears to my eyes the other day though... My hubby's mother doesn't live very close to us but always sends us cheques in the mail for christmas so she sent my son $25.00 this year. I asked him if he wanted to buy himself something or if he wanted me to cash it and buy him something then put it under the tree and suprise him? He suggested this..."Why don't I buy something for you and dad with this money?" I had to turn away and tears came out because he's so thoughtful! I think my little boy is growing up he's eight now and so generous. Have a great night

What a sweet thing for her to blog about! Single motherhood is not easy and to have her acknowledge that and let you know how your caring for her has touched her life is really something you do not see a lot with today's teenagers.

You are so right. A lot of teenagers wouldn't acknowledge the hardships of single motherhood. She has always been there for me and I appreciate it so much. I try to tell her that as often as I can. I know there have been times when she has sensed that I was upset or things were getting to me and she steps right in and helps me out. She's a wonderful girl!

Yes and today this person is the one that hurts me more. Once we were the best friends and now I see him looking for other people to put on my place. I hope to never have the heart touched again.

I can say that you and her are both lucky persons. This just give justifications to the line "What you sow is what you reap". If you give goodness, for sure it will be given back to you also.It is just like an echo. You gave her love and she gives you love also. There is also a person whom I can never forget.It is because he is the only one who seems to never leave me on the disappointing part of my life.It was the time that I was done with my board exam and I have the uncertainties whether I will pass it or not.It was a whole day exam and all questions are so difficult to answer. Sometimes, I just want to cry because I am afraid.I just made a guess on the items I really don't know and I know that I am not good in guessing.I told my family what happened and I feel that they somehow got sad with what I told them. After that, I started to look for a job. I had gone to a number of interviews but still not get hired. I really feel down. I started to hate myself and never wanted to talk to anyone else. I start to feel irritated always. But that person understand my weaknesses.He gives me intelligible and inspiring words which gives me hope. He told me that life is not a bed of roses.He told me that nothing starts easy, it always begin at some level of difficulty. But despite of the rough road I must keep myself in God and should not lose the trust I have within me.It seems that his words made me awake.I started to believe again. Started to smile again having him as my inspiration.

Well in my situation it's the other way around I have touched everyone else's heart but noone has ever touched mine. I have a friend that was in need of help with the cleaning of her home to helping out with the kids to helping her buy things she needed for her home. I did all that for her and more I am the kind of person that would rather help others than them help me. So I really touched her heart for she was thankful in more ways than one.

I feel so warm after reading it. So far, the one who touched my heart was my mom. For her endless love, my family live in harmony with neighbors, relatives and also ourselves.She always care much for others more than herself. I still believe every mother's heart is more beautiful than everything in the world. Bless for you, singlemommy!

Someone I know that touches my heart almost everyday would be one of my family members. My little brother always touches my heart when he shows respect to me. He thinks of me as his idol. He does almost everything I ask him to do. He shows respect to everybody and says that I taught him how to be respectful, which is true i guess. Overall, I would say my brother touches my heart everyday.

So far, nobody has touched my heart. Neither do I want anyone to. When I was younger, I was betrayed by relatives and friends. So, I have lost faith and trust in humanity. I wish to live in loneliness and solitude. I do not want anybody to touch my heart.
