Several years passed before she asked me again. 
Since my last attempt I contemplated a correct answer. So I told her 
'Mommy sight is very  important  to everybody, 
so it must be our eyes.' 
She looked at me and  told me that I  was learning fast but the answer is not correct because 
there are many people who are blind.. 

Stumped again I continued my quest for knowledge 
and over the years she asked me a couple more times and always the same answer 
'No. But you are  getting smarter every year 
my young child.' 
T
Then last year my Grandpa died. 
Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying.. 
Even my father cried.
I remember  that especially 
because it is only the second time I saw him cry.. 

My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, 'Do you know the most important body part yet my son?'  
And I was shocked she asked me this now. 
I always thought this was a  game between her and me.. She saw the confusion on my face and told me  
'This question is very important it shows that you have really lived in your life. For every body part you gave me in the past I have told you that it  was wrong and given you an example why. But today is the  day you need to learn this important lesson.' 

She looked down at me like only a mother can. 
I saw her eyes well up with tears. 
She said 
'Son the most important body part is your shoulder.' 

I looked over at my shoulder and was confused. 
I asked her if it was because it held up my head.. 

She replied 
'No because it can hold the head of a friend 
or loved one when they cry. 
Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on 
sometime in life my son. 
I only hope that you have enough love and friends 
that you will always have a shoulder to cry on 
when you need it.' 

Then and there I knew 
the most important body part was not selfish, 
it was  sympathetic to the pain of OTHERS. 
You are a friend 
and whenever you want you can cry on my shoulder!!! 

People will forget what you said.
People will  forget what you did, 
but People will never forget 
how you made them feel.
