I want to share with you the email that I received tonight sent by my very close friend. An email that touches my heart with teary eyed. And it made me realize this four words is so important in my daily life.
A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of a big airport. As she would need to wait many hours, she decided to buy a book to spend her time. She also bought a packet of cookies. She sat down in an armchair, in the VIP room of the airport, to rest and read in peace. Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, a man sat down in the next seat, opened his magazine and started reading. When she took out the first cookie, the man took one also. She felt irritated but said nothing. She just thought: “what a nerve! If I was in the mood I would punch him for daring!” For each cookie she took, the man took one too.
This was infuriating her but she didn’t want to cause a scene. When only one cookie remained she thought: “Ah… What this abusive mean do now?” Then the man, taking the last cookie, divided it into half, giving her one half. Ah! That was to much! She was much too angry now! In a huff, She took her book, her things and stormed to the boarding place. When she sat down in her seat, inside the plane, she looked into her purse to take her eyeglasses, her packet of cookies was there, untouched, unopened! She felt so ashamed! She realized that she was wrong… She had forgotten that her cookies were kept in her purse.
The man had divided his cookies with her, without feeling angered or bitter. … while she had been angry, thinking that she was dividing her cookies with him. And now there was no chance to explain herself… nor to apologize.” There are four things that you cannot recover…
The Stone… …after the throw! The Word… …after each said!
The Occasions… …after the loss! The Time… …after it’s gone!
Oh God! I remember my father, my mother, my siblings, I always took them for granted. I never show them my love, I never said sorry for the hurts I caused on them. I will take the chance to say sorry to the people I hurt, before it’s to late. Hug your loved ones daily while they can feel our arms. Tell them “I love you” over and over again while they can hear. Learn the gesture of love and kindness to others. The price is small, but the rewards are more than all the gold in the world!

Hi,Malou.
Your story made me think of various people around me.
We ususlly don’t think many things so much.We don’t thank them for being there. But actually we should appreciate many people , many things for being with me or being there. - Malou 09-07-30 (Thu) 17:28
