When you thought I wasn't looking....

[GillyMarie]

 I recieved this chain email this morning and it made me cry.....

  When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you hang my

first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately

wanted to paint another one.

  When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you feed a

stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind

to animals.

  When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make my

favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little

things can be the special things in life.

  When you thought I wasn't looking I heard you say a

prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always

talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.

  When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you make a

meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I

learned that we all have to help take care of each other.

  When you thought I wasn't looking I saw you take care

of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have

to take care of what we are given.

  When you thought I wasn't looking I saw how you

handled your responsibilities, even when you didn't

feel good, and I learned that I would have to be

responsible when I grow up.

  When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come

from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things

hurt, but it's all right to cry.

  When you thought I wasn't looking I saw that you

cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.

  When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of

life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and

productive person when I grow up.

  When you thought I wasn't looking I looked at you and

wanted to say,'Thanks for all the things I saw when

you thought I wasn't looking'
