from You\\u2019re Here for a Reason by Nancy Tilllman

\\u201cYou\\u2019re here for a reason, you certainly are. The world would be different without you, by far.

If not for your hands and your eyes and your feet, the world, like a puzzle, would be incomplete. Even the smallest of things that you do blossom and multiply far beyond you.\\u201d . . .

\\u201cYou\\u2019re here for a reason. If you think you\\u2019re not, I would just say that perhaps you forgot \\u2013 a piece of the world that is precious and dear would surely be missing if you weren\\u2019t here.

If not for your smile and your laugh and your heart, this place we call home would be minus a part.

Thank goodness you\\u2019re here! Thank goodness times two! I just can\\u2019t imagine a world without you.

You are loved.\\u201d
