THE MOST IMPORTANT
 BODY PART 


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 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. My Mom looked at me when it was our 
turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa.
She asked me, "Do you know the most important
body part yet, my dear?" 

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 were 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, "My dear,
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 dear. 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.
People will forget what you said...
People will forget what you did
But people will NEVER forget how 
you made them feel.

The origination of this letter is unknown,
but it brings a blessing to everyone
who passes it on. Good friends are like 
stars...You don't always see them,
but you always know they're there
