   My mom died February 13th. She had hodgkins lymphoma and was in remission but she died from her chemotherapy. She was my best friend. I know everyone dies but I’m just having a hard time dealing with it right now. My birthday is in 2 days and it’s so hard not having her here, but I stumbled upon this and it made me feel like she was talking to me. I know it’s not her but thank you whomever you are for giving comfort to strangers.

5. Mary on August 19, 2011 at 9:05 am

   I just wanted to say that I have always been self conscious and been worried about finding someone for myself and whoever you are that wrote this, thank you.
6. MamaShoob on August 19, 2011 at 10:02 am

   I loved this. Everyone has a day where they feel this way, when I was going through depression and in therapy after losing my grandparents and brother during an 11 month time period, I wish I had read this. Thank you.

9. Jay on September 5, 2011 at 9:46 am

10. John on September 5, 2011 at 6:29 pm

    Why are you guys all leaving comments on something writen for me? I am deeply offended.
11. Christine on September 5, 2011 at 9:10 pm

    ummm, fuck you
12. Rebecca on September 6, 2011 at 10:21 am

    Oh come on Christine. John’s comment was funny. This post was exquisite and it’s something that everyone needs to hear. Thanks for being awesome. You’re too cool for school
13. Elle on September 7, 2011 at 6:17 am

    This is absolutely true. I have never had enough words to explain what I feel. And as I was reading, it is the same exact feeling I want to express.
14. Eli on September 7, 2011 at 6:40 am

    I needed this,. Thank YOU.
15. Crystal on September 8, 2011 at 1:03 pm

    You are a wonderful person! Thank you for your compassion towards all of us sharing this planet.
16. leanne on September 9, 2011 at 10:24 am

    love it couldnt have read it at a better time
17. Ashley on September 10, 2011 at 9:05 pm

    My mother and brother both committed suicide and it makes I hard to remember why I am even wake up everyday and sometimes how I even breathe. This honestly helped me to remember why I am still here. We all need to hear/read things like this sometimes
18. Jo on September 12, 2011 at 10:44 am

    Just what I needed to hear today <3
19. tnxguy on September 12, 2011 at 12:48 pm

20. Michelle on September 13, 2011 at 10:25 am

    That really gets to me. Some days it is hard to put on that smile. Your letter really puts life in a new light for me. Thank you!!
21. Marianna on September 14, 2011 at 3:32 pm

    Wow, sometimes a good writer can really speak to people. You, however, have spoken to many that all felt like that special one. Your gift is amazing. Thank you for sharing it.
22. Pat on September 14, 2011 at 7:15 pm

    Wow! Thank you:) I`m stuck at home, waiting test results that will most likely change my life… I`ve been worrying so much about what will happen to my 4 little ones. This just put a smile in my heart, thank you:)
23. Mark S. on September 15, 2011 at 4:36 pm

    Hi and thanks. I guess we’re not the only ones who need a good pick me up
24. Jessica on September 15, 2011 at 5:38 pm

    Wow, its like it was really for me! Thank you whoever you are
25. stephanie on September 16, 2011 at 3:27 am

    exactly what i needed. THANK YOU!
26. Double Hammock on September 18, 2011 at 11:29 am

    Yes, beautiful indeed. I mean you. You are beautiful.
27. Megan on September 18, 2011 at 2:43 pm

    this just made me cry. but it really did help <3
28. 1eliane on September 18, 2011 at 3:15 pm

    As I brace myself for the dark, dreary, wet Seattle weather, I am blessed to have stumbled upon you.
    Thank you for these are the most uplifting words that I have read in months!!!
29. Melissa on September 18, 2011 at 9:59 pm

    You have touched a lot of lives by writing this. You should be proud of yourself.
30. Tyler on September 19, 2011 at 10:16 am

    I literally started crying, tears rolling down my face in uniform, when I read this and some of the comments. I always feel like this, but when I read it I felt like it was my boyfriend speaking to me, telling me everything’s alright, and that I will most definitely be okay. I have the hardest time believing anyone, or anything, but once I saw the “you are beautiful part”, I couldn’t contain myself;the tears just kept coming, and still are. Thank you so much to whom ever wrote this, it really actually helped me with somethings (as I pondered it, and reflected on almost everything I’ve been thinking about). One comment that got to me was the one with the mother and brother that committed suicide. I’m an 18 year old man, and I, once or twice, have tried to commit suicide. Thank you again to whom ever read this, reminded me that everyone, no matter how harsh or cruel they are, are always beautiful, no matter what people say.
31. Rachel on September 20, 2011 at 11:14 am

    Thanks I needed that!
32. km on September 20, 2011 at 11:43 am

    Whoever you are, out there, you just made my day a little better. The best thing about this, is that you didn’t know who would read it and whose lives’ would be touched, but you did it anyways. There needs to be more caring people like you in the world.
    YOU should be happy. YOU are gorgeous.
33. Jack on September 20, 2011 at 4:53 pm

    I’m a 17 year old teenage guy. I’ll admit this made tears stream down my face. My parents are going through a divorce and the only father figure I have, an 80 year old man from my high school, just passed away yesterday. This reminds me that eventually, everything will get better. Thanks to whomever wrote this, I really needed it.
34. Anne on September 20, 2011 at 7:03 pm

    I came here by accident. Or it was fated. Depends on what you believe in. I just wanted to say thank you. It was what I needed. No matter who you are. I will never forget you.
35. Jordan on September 22, 2011 at 9:12 am

    This was posted exactly 1 year after my mom died. I found this. I can’t even begin to say what this means. I cry every time when I read this. I can’t help it. It means that much to me.

    It’s cool how we can all have it mean something to us, since it is simply addressed to “you”. I really like that. This helped save me. Thank YOU.
36. Mary on September 23, 2011 at 12:16 am

    Thank you so much for sharing this. I stumbled across it today, and there really couldn’t have been any better timing. I needed this more than I’m really comfortable explaining.
37. Sara on September 26, 2011 at 4:54 am

    thank you.
38. Kate in PA on September 26, 2011 at 9:02 pm

    Just have to add to the gratitude that YOU wrote, in simple, guiet prose that has reached the heart of many.

    May we not allow this basic, flawless encouragement for one another to end here. Our world is sorely lacking more of YOU.

    Gorgeous and amazing YOU…
39. Shelby on September 26, 2011 at 9:04 pm

    Thank you so much for posting this. You have no idea how many people’s lives are made better just by reading those words. Thank YOU!
40. jam on September 27, 2011 at 5:44 pm

    i just stumbled this, & the date it was posted is the day i found out my dad has lung cancer. its been really hard. this really made me smile.
41. Caitlin on September 28, 2011 at 7:53 pm

    This made my day. (: And it was posted on my birthday!
42. Chaachi on October 1, 2011 at 1:47 am

    It’s 3:39 and I’m alone putting off going to bed.
    Night time is the worst time for me. My heart aches. I just
    took my night medication and was just about to turn off
    the computer but decided to go a bit further and I
    came across this. Thank you for your thoughtful words.
    I’m alone so I have no one to tell me “I Love You”.
    Your words come close enough tonight.
    Peace.
43. Melissa on October 1, 2011 at 8:45 am

    Sometimes we just need to know that we’re alive. Simply beautiful
44. Bre on October 3, 2011 at 8:10 pm

    Thank you, I totally needed this today.
45. Carla on October 6, 2011 at 9:31 am

    Thanks for helping people around the world with just a few words!
    Carla
46. Brendan on October 9, 2011 at 9:44 pm

    this is beautiful and so are you. =)
47. Shawn S. on October 10, 2011 at 3:42 pm

    How lovely, that you wrote this just for me!! It’s wonderful to know that you feel that way about me. It makes me feel so special. Thank you whomever you are!!
48. Anni on October 13, 2011 at 5:10 am

    nice. In my mind, it’s Jesus saying This to me. It’s a nice thought. I got dumped by my gf yet again last night. Too old for this stuff. So it was nice to read this. You know, just finding something to believe in.
49. Gretta on October 13, 2011 at 5:23 pm

    Wow it’s easy to forget something so simple and wonderful as this when things aren’t exactly going your way. Thank you anonymous writer for reminding me and clearly many others that being alive is not as complicated as it needs to be. Sometimes being aware of mortality is really important. It’s hard to remember your worth, but small reminders like this help with that process. YOU’RE gorgeous, and we appreciate you.
50. memn6 on October 13, 2011 at 5:26 pm

    So inspiring and encouraging! Thank you so much! I will remember these beautiful words whenever I am feeling down. Great picker upper!
