Stories That Make You Smile
Here are my favorite top 4 on the list. They actually made me tear up!
1. Today, I found an old hand written note my mom wrote when she was a senior in high school. On it is a list of qualities she hoped she would someday find in a boyfriend. The list is basically an exact description of my dad, who she didn’t meet until she was 27. MMT (make me think)
* This made me smile because I have a similar list that I made before meeting Keith. They are qualities that match up to his personality exactly! It makes you realize that there is someone out there for you. You just have to be patient until he/she steps into your life. I still look back on that list sometimes to remind myself how lucky I am.
2. Today, my 12-year-old son, Sean, and I stopped by the nursing home together for the first time in several months. Usually I come alone see my mother who’s suffering from Alzheimer’s. When we walked into the lobby, the nurse said, “Hi, Sean!” and then buzzed us in. “How does she know your name?” I asked. “Oh, I swing by here on my walk home from school all the time to say hi to Grandma,” Sean said. I had no idea. MMT
*What a good-natured and thoughtful son! I hope I have a son like this one day.
3. Today, my 8-year-old son hugged me and said, “You are the best mom in the whole entire world!” I smiled and sarcastically replied, “How do you know that? You haven’t met every mom in the whole entire world.” My son squeezed me tighter and said, “Yes I have. You are my world.” MMT
*Again, kids say (and do) the sweetest things. What a memorable moment!
4. Today, my dad is the best dad I could ask for. He’s a loving husband to my mom (always making her laugh), he’s been to every one of my soccer games since I was 5 (I’m 17 now), and he provides for our family as a construction foreman. This morning when I was searching through my dad’s toolbox for a pliers, I found a dirty folded up paper at the bottom. It was an old journal entry in my dad’s handwriting dated exactly one month before the day I was born. It reads, “I am eighteen years old, an alcoholic who is failing out of college, a past cutter, and a child abuse victim with a criminal record of auto theft. And next month, ‘teen father’ will be added to the list. But I swear I will make things right for my little girl. I will be the dad I never had.” And I don’t know how he did it, but he did it. MMT
*I couldn't believe this story. This really makes you think and realize how people can completely change their life in a positive way. All they need is a good reason.
Which story was your favorite? How did it touch you? Do you have one you'd like to share?
