There are definitely moments when we reflect and count on the most important or memorable persons, events or lessons in our lives.  When asked about it, I always come up with three important answers because I always believe the best things come in three's.  Just recently, when I was asked about the things I miss about my mom (who passed away last year), I came up with the best three:

1. Her unconditional love to us her children; 
2. Her strong but happy personality; and 
3. Mom's service to God and people.
