My pot of gold is my younger brother. Last month was one of the most difficult times of my life. My brother went to the hospital for breathing trouble (he is 24yrs old). To make a very long story short, he was put on a ventilator and came very close to death 3 times. He was in the hospital for a month, and, at one point, given 2 minutes to live. That was by far the scariest moment of my life. He was put on the critical list in the ICU, with a very small percentage of a chance to live. He was diagnosed with pneumonia, which was caused by a bacteria called Streptococcus. Eventually, the bacteria spread through his blood causing kidney failure. He also suffered form a collapsed lung, among other difficulties. By God’s grace, my brother pulled through! The nurses and doctors call him the “miracle boy”. he is truly my pot of gold. Thank God he is alive and recovering!

I would have to say my “Pot of Gold” is my mother. 3 years ago, I was in an abusive relationship. Once I discovered I was expecting, my mom and I made plans to move me home, to flee the situation. If it had not been for her courageous effort, I don’t think I could have done it. She came down, helped me move, helped me cope, and most of all, was there when I needed her the most. I now have the best relationship with her because of this. I get to raise my wonderful son in a violence-free home, and get to spend time with her each day. If it wasn’t for my mother, I don’t know where I would be today. She has helped me by watching my son so I could finish school and achieve my goal of becoming a Social Worker. I hope that I can give back to my children the way she has given back to me. She is truly my “pot of gold.” Love you, Mom

My pot of gold is my family. My son (4) can drive me crazy at times when he is pushing the boundaries, but when he snuggles up with me at night to read a story before bed, hearing him say: “Momma, you’re my favorite, I love you” just melts my heart. We are just so blessed to have him, my husband and I have been trying to have another child, so far no success after our miscarriage last summer. We are just praying for God’s timing and know that my family is my pot of gold and I am so much stronger for having my son and my husband in my life.

My pot of gold is finding my best friend after 5 years of seperation. I was really needing her at this time in my life and did everything I could to find her with no luck. I even got my husband to help and he works for the police department so I thought for sure he would find her but no luck there either. So I thought well apperently she is not needed now. MY husband went to check the mail at Christmas time and there sat a letter from her. Not sure how it got to the new address but God knew that she was needed. We have been talking or texting everyday and I am so loving her in my life. She has been through alot with me and it is good to have her back. I thank God everyday that He knows all our needs.

My “pot of gold” would have to be my mothers. My mother-in-law miraculously defeated her battle against Lukemia. I don’t know where I would be without her sweet spirit and ever-helping hand. My mother defeated her fight against a tumor. I know I would be lost without her everlasting love and care for me.
