Emotional support is the best one can give the other.. I came across this article some time back.. And it touched me.....
His mother used to ask him what the most important part of the body was. Through the years he thought about it and he felt that sound was very important.. He answered his mom that "the ears" were the most important part of the body.Momma replied.."Boy.. so many people are deaf...Think again"
Years passed and she asked him again. This time he replied,"Momma sight is very important. So i think 'The eyes ' are the most important part of the body.Momma said,"Baby ,there are so many people who are blind..But you are learning fast"
His quest for knowledge continued and over the years mom kept asking him and her answer was always NO. Then few years later his grandpa expired.Everybody was hurt everyone was crying. This was the first time he had seen his dad cry. His mom looked at him when it was time to say a final goodbye to grandpa..She asked him,"Son , now do you know what is the most important part of the body?"He did not expect her to ask him this now. seeing the confusion on his face she said," For all the answers you gave me in the past, my answer was always NO and i have given you explanations to that.But today is the day you need to learn tis important lesson ". Her eyes were wet. "My dear, the most important part of your body is your shoulder" He promptly replied, "That's because it holds up your head".
She replied,"NO, that's because it hold the head of your loved one when they cry.Everyone needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life. I hope you get one when you need it and you can give one when the person you love needs it. " It was then that he knew that the most important body part is not a selfish one....
People will forget what you said.. people will forget what you did.. But they will never forget how you made them feel.......
