Leah,
The line i enjoyed reading was, " She still the happy grandma that she was when i was child and i'm glad she is still there." Because it shows something we all do we remember the person in their prime not when their frail and lying on the couch, we'd rather remember when the person was healthy. Also found myself nodding my head to this, " No matter what is going on, you should make sure you have time for those love ones especially the sick and dying ones like she did with her husband." Something many people can resonate with because we don't make this priority instead our school or job, technology distract us and not every stop to smell the roses. To just stop for a minute and just spend time and will be better way to spend your time to its full.
Raven,
The line that resonated with me on the ill was, " It may also be embarrassing because as you get older you may want your independence and being dependent on people does not make you feel very self-sufficient." When I see people who are ill like my sister in law's father who always wants to do things by himself but unfortunately recently had a stroke so during that time he had to lean on others and for him and for many other people is embarassing and even undignififing. A line that made me feel ashamed of myself and I'm sure it does for many is that, " Instead of complaining about things and wondering why this has happened to her, she doesn’t let this illness become her." because we (healthy people) complain for littlest issues and like raven's person who is ill doesn't complain when she has serious health problems.

For Michelle,
The lines "So their view on life is different than a healthy person’s because they just wish they were normal healthy person and instead worry how long will I live? then about what to wear to a party", i thought that it was very insightful comparing healthy people and people who have been sick all their live just trying to make it by in life. I also like how you compared your friend's sickness to how your mother said that you should "I should be thankful to God for being born a healthy baby unlike some other unlucky kids" my mom says the same thing to me all the time. The ending sentence i thought was clever and good cut-off. :) - Leah (CLASSMATE)

For Michelle,
I liked how you mentioned an actual account of your friend being sick and it was sweet that you brought her some chicken soup. I also liked how you talked about the fact that we separate ourselves from sick people, I guess its because we don’t want to be tied down with the very sickness they have. So we isolate the sick and hope they get better. It was also interesting that you mentioned that there are things in our lives we take advantage of, there are people with worse situations than us. I agree because no matter how bad our situation may be there is always someone who has much less than the things we were blessed with. I also agree that we should begin to think about the things that are most important in our lives, not materialistic things but those things that matter the most. I really enjoyed reading this account of your friend who was suffering from a fever. - Raven (CLASSMATE)

For Michelle,
My favorite line was, " I should be thankful to God for being born a healthy baby unlike some other unlucky kids." Its true, so many people are not born healthy kids. In reality most people don't realize how lucky they are because there is always someone worse than you. - Younger Mentor (baby brother)
