To ask which one sentence changed your life?

[broccoliicecream]

I’ll start.

‘My god girl- You’re pregnant.’

Said by a Dr to a 14 year old me.

“Do you fancy a coffee?”

The man I’m dating.

“You have to come for an interview.”

I got it and it changed my life. Literally. Completely and utterly changed my life. I can’t describe how much. I’d be outed. But totally and utterly transformed me as a person. Made me confident. Made me smile after years of never smiling. Made me proud of myself. Made me realise I can do stuff. And made me realise people like me do do stuff like this.

Oh. I misjudged the thread.

Sorry. 💐💐

Try again Uggy, 

"We are treating you as a type 1 diabetic and moving you to intensive care" after going to A&E in, what I now know, was a severe DKA.

There's been an accident

I'm afraid I've got bad news.
Said by the policeman who had come to tell me my boyfriend had been killed.

You’re having twins.

Weeks later - sorry one twin has died and his brother will likely follow- be prepared. We can’t take the one who’s passed out because it’s too dangerous for his brother . I battled to keep my other son. He’s now 2. Not a day goes by where I don’t thank God for him - and mourn his brother that my body just couldn’t keep alive.

When my grandfather died - your minutes too late. -

My cancer is terminal.

"...and there's the heartbeat".

I had bled heavily and the midwife was doing a quick ultrasound. I'd lost several babies in the first trimester and we were convinced it had happened again. (It turned out I had ruptured cervical polyps).

That little heart beat just turned 30 and is the best thing that has ever happened to me.

I’m going to do a happy one (after initial sadnes) - went for early San at 9 weeks after a missed miscarriage that I only found out about at 13 weeks. Doctor asked why we had chosen an early (private) scan - I explained- he said without much expression “well Mother Nature sure knows how to make up for herself” - I knew it was twins before I looked at the screen - I felt perhaps foolishly that I had my earlier baby back along with a bonus baby.

Sad one was on a call to my mother re my fathers test results which again foolishly I had believed was for nothing too serious so was calling from a phone booth in middle of busy corridor at colleg

Ah post

"Is my dad here?" 17 year old me to the 'burglars' (plain clothes police officers) I had just walked in and found in my 42 year old dads flat. He was. But he wasn't alive.

"You'll be glad to know you're not pregnant." Said by nurse in casualty when I had went in with bleeding and pregnant with a much wanted baby after 5 years of fertility treatment.

"Why are you here? You've got a great big egg just about to be released! Go home & get jiggy!" Sonographer at our last ever fertility clinic appointment, confirming I had ovulated naturally for the first time in many years, aged 40. We did. That great big egg is now a beautiful 2 year old.

"You haven't failed at everything." Counsellor to me recently, strangely the most comforting thing anyone has ever said to me. I HAVENT. And if there are areas where I have, there's been circumstances out with my control. But it's bits of my life, not ALL of it.

Posted too soon - he has the same as his brother - from my mum re my dad - a veritable death sentence

Other one too sad

Two sentences that fundamentally changed my life . First one was "it's lung cancer". Second one, five weeks later "we'd like to operate, with a view to a cure". They operated and it was a cure. It also helped me evaluate my life.
I had spent 59 years doing what others needef\wanted. My parents, teachers, daughter boss. I took early retirement, on a good pension. Since then I've had my whole house remodeled and spend at least two months a year travelling

I have vowed never, never to do anything that doesn't make me feel good.

Despite having cancer three times, I feel bloody lucky to be enjoying this me time

"Don't come looking for me till you're old with plenty of stories to share."

Said to me in a note written by my mate before she passed away.

"I'm afraid its positive"

Result of first HIV test

" It's negative. You are a statistical anomaly"

Results of second HIV test some weeks later.

Positive ones here.......

"Your baby is just there. Keep pushing and you may deliver him before I am ready" Said by the Doctor who did a forceps delivery on my DS. He was literally just stuck inside. I had a low level one tug pull by forceps and pushed my son into the world myself. The one thing I wanted to do after years of medical interventions.

Well, make him part of the family then! Said to me by my dying grandma. My husband and I had been seeing each other secretly as he is 14 years older than me. My grandma had taken a shine to him once it was all out in the open and said this in the days leading up to her death. She had asked where DH was and I said "He thought he would not visit today - it's a day for family"

"Well, we never do things the easy way do we" Said by DH when I was approx 7 weeks pregnant and bleeding. We thought I was losing the baby. We had just spent hours in A&E to basically be told if we were losing the baby there was nothing they could do and sent us home. DH was saying how we were made of tougher stuff (see above regarding the start of our relationship) and would come through whatever happened next. Our son is now 4.

"Im sorry, we think its breast cancer"

Said to me when I went to hospital to get a lump checked back in January. Was 100% sure the lump was related to an old injury

"Im sorry, its spread to the bones" its incurable but treatable"

Said to me a couple of months later after further tests. Now on treatment for life. Still feel fine physically but struggling a bit mentally

"I'm sorry, it's gone" - when I miscarried. It was my only pregnancy and at now 45, my last chance

This is dreadfully sad thread. I've also experienced being told my baby has no heartbeat, but I've also experienced being told there is one and his development is normal. Both so emotional.

For me the line below stuck with me.

^People will forget what you said, or what you did. But they will never forget how you made them feel
^
I live by that. Honestly, it defines everything I do.

I don't want you. Go. I only want your sister. Go.

By my mother to me. Was dreadful at the time but ended a lifetime of verbal and psychological abuse from her to me, as I did go. And never went back.

"The blood tests are back and they confirm the diagnosis" (rare genetic condition that DC3 had already been clinically diagnosed with)

We knew it was coming but that sentence changed our lives, our futures, our dreams.

Hes not your real dad,said to me by my mam.I was 13.World blw apart right there

‘She’s not going to make it’ my BIL’s early morning phone call to me about my sister. She died that night from sepsis.

Do you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband? I did.
