12 of us in a room together

I am supposed to pick 12 women (who have touched my
life) and who I think might participate. I think that if this
group of women were ever to be in a room together, there
is nothing that would be impossible. I hope I chose the right
twelve.. May my hugs, love, gestures and communications
remind you how special you are. Please send this back to me.

Remember to make a wish before you read the quotation.
That's all you have to do. There is nothing attached. Just
send this to twelve women and let me know what happens
on the fourth day. Try not to break this, please. Did you
make a wish yet? If you don't make a wish, it won't come
true.. This is your last chance to make a wish!

Quotation: 'May today there be peace within. May you trust
that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not
forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself
and others.. May you use the gifts that you have received, and
pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content
with yourself just the way you are.. Let this knowledge settle
into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance,
praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us..'

Now, please send this to 12 women (or more) within
the next 5 minutes.. And remember to send this back.
I count as 1... you'll see why

Random thoughts for the day...

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately
clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an
argument when you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap
when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on step #5.
I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you
how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a
moment at work when you know that you just aren't
going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue
Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word
and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my
ten-page research paper that I swear I did not make
any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will
never wash this -- ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring
(Hello? Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately
call back, it rings nine times and goes to voicemail.
What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the
phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good
and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire
day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just
so I know not to answer when they call.

18. My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day
"Dad, what would happen if you ran over a ninja?"
How the hell do I respond to that?

19. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

20. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any
given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin
with Miller Lite’s than Kay.

Am I a fire man yet?

Amazing story

If you "tear up" go ahead, who's watching?

In Phoenix , Arizona , a 26-year-old mother

stared down at her 6 year old son, who was

dying of terminal leukemia.

Although her heart was filled with sadness, she

also had a strong feeling of determination.. Like

any parent, she wanted her son to grow up and

fulfill all his dreams. Now that was no longer

possible..the leukemia would see to that. But she

still wanted her son's dream to come true.

She took her son's hand and asked, 'Billy,

did you ever think about what you wanted

to be once you grew up? Did you ever dream

and wish what you would do with your life?'

'Mommy, I always wanted to be a fireman

when I grew up.'

Mom smiled back and said, 'Let's see if we

can make your wish come true.'

Later that day she went to her local fire

Department in Phoenix, Arizona, where she

met Fireman Bob, who had a heart as big as

Phoenix. She explained her son's final wish

and asked if it might be possible to give her

6 year-old son a ride around the block on a

fire engine.

Fireman Bob said, 'Look, we can do better

than that. If you'll have your son ready at

seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll

make him an honorary Fireman for the

whole day. He can come down to the fire

station, eat with us, go out on all the fire

calls, the whole nine yards!

And if you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a

real fire uniform for him, with a real fire

hat - not a toy - one-with the emblem of

the Phoenix Fire Department on it, and

a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber

boots. They're all manufactured right

here in Phoenix , so we can get them fast.'

Three days later Fireman Bob picked up Billy,

dressed him in his uniform and escorted him

from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and

ladder truck. Billy got to sit on the back of the

truck and help steer it back to the fire station.

He was in heaven.

There were three fire calls in Phoenix that

day And Billy got to go out on all three calls.

He rode in the different fire engines, the

Paramedic's' van, and even the fire chief's

car. He was also videotaped for the local

news program.

Having his dream come true, with all the

love and attention that was lavished upon

him, so deeply touched Billy, that he lived

three months longer than any doctor

thought possible.

One night all of his vital signs began to

drop dramatically and the head nurse,

who believed in the hospice concept -

that no one should die alone, began to

call the family members to the hospital.

Then she remembered the day Billy had

spent as a Fireman, so she called the Fire

Chief and asked if it would be possible to

send a fireman In uniform to the hospital

to be with Billy as he made his transition.

The chief replied, 'We can do better than

that. We'll be there in five minutes.....

Will you please do me a favor? When you

hear the sirens screaming and see the

lights flashing, will you announce over the

PA system that there is not a fire? It's the

department coming to see one of its finest

members one more time. And will you

open the window to his room?'

About five minutes later a hook and ladder

truck arrived at the hospital and extended

its ladder up to Billy's third floor open window

-------- 16 fire-fighters climbed up the ladder

into Billy's room with his mother's permission,

they hugged him and held him and told him

how much they LOVED him.

With his dying breath, Billy looked up at

the fire chief and said, 'Chief, am I really

a fireman now?'

'Billy, you are, and The Head Chief, Jesus, is

holding your hand,' the chief said and with

those words, Billy smiled and said, 'I know,

He's been holding my hand all day, and the
angels have been singing..'

He closed his eyes one last time.

My instructions were to send this to at least four

people that I wanted God to bless and I picked

you. Please pass this to at least four people you

want to be blessed. This story is powerful and

there is nothing attached.

Please do not break this pattern.

Uplifting stories are one of the

best gifts we receive. There is no cost,

but a lot of rewards, let's continue

to uplift one another!

This is a true story
