There is a lovely book called The 5 people you meet in Heaven, it is written by the same author who wrote Tuesdays with Morrie. Its theme is about the people we touch in our life. It is beautifully written and thought provoking. Your post reminded me of it.
Sometimes we are unable to recognise another persons influence on us nor of ours on them. We may not recognise anothers care and attention upon us, I remember an old schoolteacher, who when I was leaving school said something to me that showed that he really understood who I was. This has always stayed with me and he has taught me to listen and observe fully.
I am fortunate to have some really good friends and a family that never judge but are there for support and advise, I would hope that they would say and feel the same about me.
But for me, there have been bad things in my life that have equally had an impact on me and made a difference to my life, for me, thesse have equally played a part in who I am and not necessarily in a negative way.
Thank you for bringing up this subject and make me count my blessings
