4．I've been in poor health this year，and it got me thinking：What if I can't be with my daughter？Who is going to help her along life's journey？Life is so long and she is so little．I can't offer her all the answers because I am still learning every day myself．But I still have two lessons to make her know before I leave her．
The first is that we can't control other people's behavior but we can control how we react to it．There are always some disputes（紛爭） in our life，where we may feel angry and lose our minds to say something．Can you imagine how different the world would be if every person took a step back，and didn't automatically react to something？Instead of mirroring some bad behaviors，we should choose to behave in a way that befits our values，or a way that's more thought through．
It's not always easy to think wisely about something on the spur of the moment．However，afterwards when we still feel angry at something that someone said or did，we can choose how we want it to affect us．We can choose our behavior．
The second is that we should be grateful each day．Try to find the joy in the small things．Have fun now．Easier said than done，but practice helps．When I'm feeling sad，I try to drag myself out of it by being grateful for small things．I will feel grateful that the traffic lights are all green and give me a clear run．I will feel grateful that it doesn't rain when I'm pushing the baby carrier into town．Acknowledging the small things can help lift my mood．
We should remember that we still have dreams and things we would like to have and that nothing can stop us from being grateful for what we have now and trying to find happiness now．
I hope my dear daughter can remember the two lessons whether I will be around her or not and lead a happy life．
