I remember when we met, how my heart raced at the sight of you. In my mind, I knew you were someone I had met before, and I was excited about the chance to renew your acquaintance. When I approached you (knees knocking - but this is the first I've ever even admitted how nervous I was) and asked "Don't I know you from somewhere?", I remember your laugh when you said something like "I know you're not trying to use that old line!" I honestly thought that I knew you, but realized that - oops you weren't that woman that I had confused you with. But instantly, I was glad that I had not lost my nerve to approach you. I don't even remember what I could possibly have even said that convinced you to give me your number so that I could call you later, but I am eternally thrilled that you did.

I feel closer to you today than any period in our lives together. I know for certain, that while we may not agree upon every important decision in our lives, I know that we can sit down and talk it through. And more times than not, we have come to a decision that we both agreed upon. You have been more than a "mate" to me. You truly have been my soul mate. Early in our life together, we probably endured as many hardships as any newly married young couple could endure. And although I'm certain our married life then carried a lot of disappointment, and even regret, we hung in there, and grew beyond the hardships. Your strength, courage and character shined through all the things that loomed like a huge cloud ready to destroy our relationship. That strength, courage and character has only increased with the years, and I cherish you for being who you
Though most have a desire to leave earth and enter eternal life peacefully, without any sorrow, the departure of a loved one can be despondent. Previously in 2011, my grandfather passed away due to heart failure. It was an arduous battle, not only for my grandfather, but also for the close knit family surrounding him. His battle with heart failure enabled me to create unforgettable memories with him, even in his final days. Laughing together, playing together and learning significant values about life together made me grow to become a more mature and wise person. Therefore, my personal experience is entwined with empathy because the death of my grandfather has made me realize how dismal it is to lose someone important. It also interplays with self-interest because I have grown as an individual to deal with the ache that is attached to losing a family member. It has helped me to realize how beautiful the gift of life is. Stephen Dunn, the poet behind Empathy and my story are connected because they both involve the feeling of empathy for others and the self-interest of an individual. They help us to grow and learn about ourselves and the emotions of
Finding out about my grandmothers death was the saddest moment in my life . I didn't understand . I didn't expect it to happen , not to me . I wondered why god had taken an important person away from my life , ad for that i felt confused and miserable . I cried for hours that day . Nothing could have brought me joy that day but the presence of my grandmother , but she was gone and i found it hard to overcome the situation.
Do you remember the first time we met? I do as I cannot shake the memory. It was love at first sight. I’ll never forget the feeling I had. A warmth overcame my body as you stoked a fire in my heart. It was like I had spent my life drowning in the sea around me and you were that breath of fresh air as I pulled myself out. My cares and concerns melted away. I was complete. You were exactly what I had been missing in my life. My better half you completed me you made me whole. Your touch, your scent, your glistening radiance I took it all in. I felt its force enter my body working its way to the very center of my soul. It felt like a real living breathing thing coalescing within my life force touching parts of me I never knew existed. You awakened some innate primal desire and I needed you at all times.
Crying is often seen as a sign of weakness. This is a cultural myth in our country. Crying is a reaction to something that triggered emotion or physical pain. Some people cry easily and tears can be a sign of joy or pain. Other people perhaps were raised to never cry o...
All of my life, until I was eighteen years old, I didn’t understand the concept of grieving. Grief just hasn’t been something I’ve ever had to experience before. Because of my lack of experience I had no understanding of what grieving felt like. All of his changed for me on July 29th.
When I began to comprehend the faults within our relationship, I knew it was time to act. Focusing on the Struggle Spectrum by the National Communication Association, I noticed that we were repeatedly climbing the struggle ladder and falling off the edge only to repeat it again. My younger, less educated version of myself would never have seen the problems but now, after years of college and my Interpersonal Communications class, I could see what needed to be done. I b...
Suddenly I started weeping. I did not know why I wept for a while. I
When we first met I did not know how to trust anymore. The spirit of life had been taken from me, but somehow you helped me find it again. At the time we met, I was going through some hard times, but when others turned their backs on me, you stood by my side. You were determined to be there for me and for that I thank God every day that he sent you to me. If I would have known that when I told about my past you would be there to help me through it, then I would have told you a long time ago.
A grandmother’s love is often presumed to be unconditional, innocent and altruistic for her family. For this reason, it comes unexpected when Flannery O’Connor begins his story A Good Man Is Hard To Find with a grandmother attempting to manipulate her family into going on a family vacation to a destination she wants rather than the desire of the whole family. Throughout the story, her manipulative and vainglorious nature is revealed to the reader through the interactions between the grandmother and the people around her as the family journeys to Florida. The grandmother constantly acts in accordance to herself even though she knowingly is betraying her family’s trust, even towards the end when she puts them in harms way. The other characters in the story remain quite static compared to the more dynamic grandmother and serve as reference points to the reader, which clearly demonstrate her selfish intentions. However, to grasp the reason for her manipulative nature, one must have a deep understanding of how the grandmother views the world around her.
Seven years have passed since our first encounter and in those past seven years, we have made many memories and parted ways several times. Whenever we parted ways, we were led back to each other as if there was a spark between us. Ever since you entered my life I felt as if God somehow sent one of his angels down to me. Over the last few months, I feel like my heart has grown stronger because of the love I have for you. This love gets stronger and stronger each and every day.
I have met many people so far in this life, but the person I enjoy remembering the most is my husband Jeff. He was born and raised in Tennessee. He is six feet tall, weighs two hundred sixty seven pounds,he has dark brown eyes, and such a nice smile. His hair is jet black with just a few silver and white strands throughout. He is a very big and strong character of a man. And yet he is the most gentle, kind and caring man that I have ever met. Jeff has a sexy southern drawl to his voice. The one person who has influenced my life greatly is my husband, the first reason being because of his positive attitude, his intelligence, and the way he expresses his love.
I remember the first time i seen you like it was yesterday. I was sitting on the back steps of my moms house, playing my old guitar. I didnt know anybody there yet but you had lived there for some time before me obviously. You were walking in a little group amongts your friends. I remember you had a green shirt on that day.Later that week i remember we can into each other because my nighbor was your friend so we bumped into each other, where i was able to say a few shrug words before we again departed our own separate ways. Then a week or so later, give or take a few days, i had awoken to a regular day, grabed my coffee and at the time i was considering joining the army so i liked to jog around the nighborhood with Amigo, haha remember that stupid dog!? well i usually dont care what people think so i forgot he had that scarf around his neck and when i was down that ally, you were walking with your umbrella and i said to myself, "WHAO"! who is that!.. and thankfully you didnt turn the other way and you walked down that ally and knowing you for these many years i know usually you would...
Everyone needs a best friend in her lifetime. She needs somebody that she can trust and go to with her problems. A best friend should be there for you all the time, no matter what the situation may be. In my case, I have known my best friend for my entire life. My best friend happens to be my younger sister, Brittany. She is only thirteen months younger than I am, so we are very close. Having Brittany as my best friend has made me into the person I am today. She has taught me how to trust people, how to resolve my problems, and how to open up and express my feelings.
Crying is often thought as an ordinary emotional expression. Most of people do not ponder crying as an act of curing. Surprisingly, many researches had approved that there are various benefits as a result of giving out tears.
