I got a mail and thought to share 
,
My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body.
Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct
answer.
When I was younger, I thought sound was very
important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." She said "No-Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."
Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt,I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes. "She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not
correct because there are many people who are blind."
Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer
was, "No. But you are getting smarter every year, my young child."
Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that especially
because it was only the second time I saw him cry. Mymom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important
body part yet, my son?"
I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game
between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This
question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in your
life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you was
wrong and I have given you an example why. But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson."
She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "Son, the most important body part
is your shoulder." I asked, "Is it because it holds up my head?" She
replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when
they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my son. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on
when you need it."
Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one-it is sympathetic to the pain of OTHERS.
You are a friend and whenever you want, you may cry on my shoulder!!!
People will forget what you said.
People will forget what you did.
But, people will never forget how you made them feel

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me,
I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
