Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her three-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sibling.They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy\'s tummy. The pregnancy progrees normally for Karen.Then the labor pains come.Every five minutes ...every minute.But Complications arise during delivery.Hours of labor.Would a C-section be required? Finally, Michael\'s little sister is born.But she is in serious condition.With siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St.Mary\'s Hospital in Knoxville, Tenneee. The days inch by.The little girl gets worse.The pediatric specialist tells the parents, \"There is very little hope.Be prepared for the worst.\" Karen and her husband contact a local cemetery about a burial plot.They have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby — now they plan a funeral. Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, \"I want to sing to her,\" he says.Week two in intensive care.It looks as if a funeral will come before the week is over.Michael keeps nagging about singing to his sister, but kids are never allowed in Intensive Care.But Karen makes up her mind.She will take Michael whether they like it or not. If he doesn\'t see his sister now, he may never see her alive.She drees him in an oversized scrub suit and marches him into ICU.He looks like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognizes him as a child and bellows, \"Get that kid out of here now! No children are allowed.\" The mother rises up strong in Karen, and the usually mild-mannered lady glares steel-eyed into the head nurse\'s face, her lips a firm line.\"He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!\" Karen tows Michael to his sister\'s bedside.He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live.And he begins to sing.In the pure hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sings: \"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray — \" ” Instantly the baby girl responds.The pulse rate becomes calm and steady. Keep on singing, Michael.\"You never know, dear, how much I love you.Please don\'t take my sunshine away — \" The ragged, strained breathing becomes as smooth as a kitten\'s purr. Keep on singing, Michael.\"The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms...\" Michael\'s little sister relaxes as rest, healing rest, seems to sweep over her.Keep on singing, Michael.Tears conquer the face of the boy head nurse.Karen glows.\"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.Please don\'t, take my sunshine away.\" Funeral plans are scrapped.The next, day — the very next day — the little girl is well enough to go home! The medical staff just called it a miracle.Karen called it a miracle of God\'s love! NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE.LOVE IS SO INCREDIBLY POWERFUL.
I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro.He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he introduced me by saying， “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house.It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable， race track to race track， farm to farm and ranch to ranch， training horses.As a result， the boy„s high school career was continually interrupted.When he was a senior， he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.”
That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch.He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch， showing the location of all the buildings， the stables and the track.Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4，000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.“
“He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher.Two days later he received his paper back.On the front page was a large red F with a note that read， „See me after cla.‟”
“The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after cla and asked， „Why did I receive an F？‟”
“The teacher said， „This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you.You have no money.You come from an itinerant family.You have no resources.Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.You have to buy the land.You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you‟ll have to pay large stud fees.There„s no way you could ever do it.‟ Then the teacher added， „If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal， I will reconsider your grade.‟”
“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard.He asked his father what he should do.His father said， „Look， son， you have to make up your own mind on this.However， I think it is a very important decision for you.‟”
“Finally， after sitting with it for a week， the boy turned in the same paper， making no changes at all.He stated， „You can keep the F and I‟ll keep my dream.„”
Monty then turned to the aembled group and said， “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4，000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch.I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added， “The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.” When the teacher was leaving， he said， „Look， Monty， I can tell you this now.When I was your teacher， I was something of a dream stealer.During those years I stole a lot of kids‟ dreams.Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.„“
Don„t let anyone steal your dreams.Follow your heart， no matter what.
