My 3 1/2 year old daughter is the most empathetic person I know... she is always wanting to help others.
It's a little cliche, but I would nominate my mom, who not only nursed my (her) entire family - but as a hospice nurse has the compassion, patience, and strength to help dozens of other people every day with one of the most difficult times of their lives: watching a child, parent, lover or sibling die. She amazes me.
(And I blogged this at:

- Thanks!

Don't most of us think of Mom when it comes to who took care of us when we were sick. I'm going to try to make a video and enter. Thanks for the info.
My grandmother was the most selfless person I have known. She never thought of herself.
I would have to nominate my mother. Even to this day she is truly my best friend. She sacrificed and did everything she could to ensure that her family was taken care of. She has always been there for me through the laughter and the tears. She was and is my role model for what it means to be a woman and a mother.
If I get a chance to blog about it I'll email ya!
Awesome opportunity you have...

As I've said in the other blog, it would be my mom. Or my father. But unfortunately, I don't think I am good at making videos. With or without a video, my parents deserve all my accolades.
BTW, I blog about you here.

I nominate my mom. She is ninety years old in a nursing home but that does not stop her. She always puts other first and is the kindest and most loving individual I have known. thank you
I would enter my mom because she really deserves it!
I would nominate my grandma:)
pamela.callahan@sbcglobal.net
I would nominate our director of client services, she works her tail off to help the homeless.
I'd nominate my Mom - she's been there for all of us since we were babies.

I would enter my mom. She was always there caring for us, taking care of us and loving us. Thanks.
Deg would have to nominate my friend Gerri. She is the true sister that I never had and is always looking out for me through good times and bad.
CMGarcia83@yahoo.com
I'd nominate Denver_CAREvan, she is a devoted daughter.
i would nominate my grandaughter.
My step-daughter. She is 10, and a fervent prayer warrior for everyone she thinks that needs it. She is a very sensitive child that really 'feels' other people's pain...sometimes too much so :-( She is a precious precious child.
I cannot think of anyone better than my mom. She is a survivor - survivor of domestic abuse and breast cancer. She is still working full-time to pay money that my dad owes from his gambling problem. I really don't know how she does it.
I would nominate my cat. I was a single mother of 5 young kids and deathly ill. My cat stayed with me all the time. He gave me comfort when I needed it most.
I would nominate my mom. She has always been there for our family.
chrystaltunnell1@hotmail.com
I would nominate my friend/ old boss. When my dog was sick he rushed him to the vet and paid for the bills. I can't afford to pay him back and he refuses for me to give him any money. He's always there for his friends and his family.

my loving husband
I would nominate my brother. Ever since his wife walked out on him, he's been struggling to make ends meet, and raise three little girls.
Definitely my mom, for many of the same reasons others have mentioned. She helped me and continues to help me throughout my life.
I wasn't sure if you were supposed to nominate someone at the Vicks site? but everyone here is nominating someone they know, so my husband. He cares for others tirelessly and I can always count on him.
My mom-she's been a breast cancer survivor for over 15 years now and she never let her illness get her spirit down, I admire her so much
Definitely my hubby because he's been there for me through thick and thin and he's always a source of support to me. He's the best.
the best husband in the world :)
The love of my life, the wisest, kindest, gentlest man I know, my husband Ralph.
I would nominate my mom who has cared for me in big and small ways my whole life.
my mom she has been so amazing to me for so many of the reasons other people have mentioned
my boyfriend blake. we have been together for over five years and each time i am sick, he is even more caring.
i'd nominate Conan O'Brien because he makes me laugh when i'm sick, and it makes me feel better!
Mom. Who else knows how to comfort me. Who else knows just how to make my favorite comfort foods. Who else will clean after me. And will clean my home while I am sick.
Ma, I love you.
I would probably nominate my sister. She always seems to know what I need.
aewalls425@hotmail.com
I'd nominate myself because I had two very ill and incompetent parents that were very abusive and I managed to take care of myself and survive it all. Now I help others recover from similar backgrounds.
I am a caring mother, wife, grandmother and co-worker and I would nominate myself, to care about others you have to care about yourself and I could use the help, thanks and good luck to all of you
My daughter, she's the sweetest and most cosiderate person
My mother..the most caring person I know.
gotta go with mom
would have to say my daughter. I am pregnant and on bedrest. she takes care of me the house and her three younger brothers. Not to mention goes to school.
definitely mymom, she's the most selfless person i know..gives of herself too much to be healthy.
hubby
My sister-in-law who lost her first husband in a helicopter crash and nursed my nephew through childhood cancer.
What a wonderful contest idea. I loved reading everyone's memories. I have so many nurturing people in my life I don't know where to start. My mother, my best friend, my husband and my children.
I proudly nominate my friend Carol who I have known for the past 18 years. I lost my job a few years ago and fell on hard times and she was always there for me when I needed her to listen, or give advice. In my darkest days her love and support is what got me where I am today. I am now happily employed and am actually working a job that I am most passionate about, but would not have been able to get to the place I am now had it not been for Carol.
Grandmother Bernice
theyyyguy@yahoo.com
My husband who has been there for me through thick and thin, good and bad.
My husband.. I love him dearly
I would nominate my mother for always being there for me and helping me through the most stressful times in my life. She keeps me laughing, gives me strength and makes me feel positive about myself.
I would nominate my son and daughter-in-law because on December 31st they lost their new born baby son to a rare disease. God must have needed a beautiful baby boy in heaven because their precious child lived for less than one hour. We are all devastated by their loss.
Mother to be NOMINated; the ROCK of Gibralter; Strength, Pillar, Moral, Honest Sincere. 91 years of age with the honest integrity of an infant. Sarahh woods, 440 48th Crt Meridian, ms. 39305; raymondw345@AOl.com
i nominate my husband, he is so kind, generous, loving, wise, sweet, nice, handsome, empathetic, sypathetic, and wonderful!

It would be my daughter - although she is going through a very painful divorce not of her making she continues to reach and touch others with sublime kindness - always puting others first even in her pain - looking for ways to make others lives easier!!
