You sometimes feel like you don't make much difference to others in your life, but then you realise that you are really important to those who appreciate you.

That would mean a lot to me as well.

The one that sticks in my memory is from years ago. My son was about nine or ten years old, one day in school his class decided to have an impromptu vote on whose mum was the prettiest very un pc, but anyway my son came running out of school to tell me I had won the voteHe was so pleased that his pals had voted for me....I hope no bribery went on but to this day he still reminds me
