What's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for you?

Creativity Portal

My mother did the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me- she gave me life.My father had a hand in this as well. They gave me love, a home, food, and an education.

‘Nice’ is probably not the right, not a strong enough word to describe what they gave me.And I say this despite the fact that there have been times when I wished I hadn’t been born.When I have agreed with the Australian broadcaster Clive Robertson who used to say (and I paraphrase) “ If there had been a prospectus of life which I could have read in my mother’s womb before I was born, I would have read it and said ‘no thanks, I don’t want to be born’.

But despite the fact that my life hasn’t been 100 percent nice. There have been enough good times for me to say that it was nice that I was born.

Thanks Mum (may you rest in peace), Thanks Babbo.
