No matter how much you may idolize a band, it's inevitable that you skip at least one or two songs on every CD. There will be ones that propel your feet to tap the floor incessantly, but there will be ones that drive you to press the 'forward' button.

Suzanne R. of Texas shared: "Although this happened 12 years ago, [the experience] was so profound that it lives inside me as if it happened yesterday.

I was almost eight months pregnant with my first child. I went to my doctor for a final ultrasound check up. After the ultrasound, the doctor paused with much concern on his face. He then told me that there was conclusive evidence on the ultrasound that my daughter had a defect. She would most likely to be born with cerebral palsy or mental retardation. I was overwhelmed with shock and disbelief...." Read more
