Have you ever looked back at your life and found that there ARE things you did that made a huge impact on someone else, ala: "It's A Wonderful Life"?

I know I saved a few lives, a few hundred if you wanna include critters. I saved mom's life, twice but, she still ended up dying a couple years later. I wish I would've know how before dad died, I would've saved his life, too. I helped my best friend, Kelly to be more assertive in her life, just being in a band for 25 years, I made a lot of fans happy. A few other things, too.

Yeah. It's always a little surprising because it will be a small gesture for me but something that changed the other person's life.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, that's what I mean. Sure, the big stuff is great too but, sometimes, even the small things matter like, when I got Kelly to come out of her shell. Had I not helped her do that, more people might've walked all over her and she might be in a much worse place. She's still struggling but, she's at least assertive, now and not the pushover she was when I first met her.

[DishLady]

Aww. That's certainly a good deed. It's hard for some gals to come out of their shell.

[FunkyMonkee]

Thanks.
Yes, it is.
Remember that chubby black chick on "p[olice academy" who spoke realy quiet and even got REALLY loud? It wasn't quite that drastic but, it was kinda like that. I'd walk her to her car after class every day and I could hardly hear a word she said walking right beside me! It took a few months but, I eventually got her to speak louder and not take shit from anyone, at least not as MUCH shit!!

[DishLady]

Marion Ramsey! Yes, I loved her. She was funny. She actually goes way back to the Jeffersons (if you remember that show). I'm glad. Wish I had someone like that when I was on the quieter side. Had to pop myself out of that "children should be seen not heard" mentality.

I always did tried to help each and everyone whoever I met and felt like they are needed. But still I don't like to take complete credit for that. Because I only did as much I could do, everything else was their own efforts, their own mindset, their own choice and other situational factors.

So my answer is "No, I find none such."

Yes I always uplifted my brother and cousin with loving encouraging words which made them these masculine confident men.

Yep. My parents. I don't think they would have seen the 90s if not for me. You know what I'm talking about FM.

[FunkyMonkee]

Vaguely, I've had a rough 3 months, recently.

[Dongie]

I can imagine.

I saved my mom's life, too. I don't know how many times. Saved my dad's once as well.
