I don't particularly believe in reincarnation but I believe in a sincere heart's prayers being answered. A mother's specially. I remember when I was very sick. I had this severe migraine which wouldn't go. My parents were frantic and tried everything. Doctors had no idea what was wrong with me. I couldn't open my eyes. my head hurt that much. I was 8. One day I woke from unresting sleep and heard my mum praying. She was asking God to spare me and give her whatever it was instead. I went back to sleep. I woke a few hours later and my mum was in bed clutching her head. I had a few hours of non-headache but it came again. This is a very beautiful story you narrated here. There's a chinese author named Gao Xinjan (am not sure of the surname) who wrote "Soul Mountain". You'll love it. Fitèna Beautiful Jackt.

I'm glad that you have an affinity for a higher power- I think it's one of the best sources of hope and fulfillment in all of us, as hard as it may be for us to embrace sometimes.

I have noticed though that after the initial shock, Buddhists in Thailand often deal with tragedy in a pretty even-keeled manner. Maybe it's part of the culture, maybe they see more of it than in developed countries. <b>GnightGirl:</b> Thanks, and welcome. <b>Jason Evans:</b> Yeah, it's one of those sad cases where it's not a perfectly joyous moment for anybody. <b>Janet:</b> That's a good way to put it, "believing in wanting to believe". I think our times are sufficiently cynical that getting to that point is an achievement! <b>Kimananda:</b> Yeah, I am usually of the same mindset. I have to psyche myself up in order to believe in something, and it happens very rarely. Anne: Yes, that I think was very hard for her.

I have no faith, in anything, but am fascinated by what it can do. A wonderful story of faith. I have no faith, in anything, but am fascinated by what it can do.

Believing in wanting to believe never hurt anyone. I always like to leave the door open for stories like these, even if it’s just a crack. Believing in wanting to believe never hurt anyone.

Beautiful story. I do feel for her sister, though. She was entitled to enjoy and love her child too. I’ll echo the previous comments. Beautiful story. I do feel for her sister, though.
