Dear friends.
I'd like to share this with you.
“ If I had known it was the last time to tack you in bed, I would have put a blanket over and prayed for God to protect you.
If I had known it was the last time to see you leaving through the door, I would have hold you and kissed you then called you again and hold you tight.
If I had known it was the last time to hear your voice filled with joy, I would’ve taken video of it and watched it repeatedly every day.
Tomorrow comes indeed. I could take things back even after I missed them once. I am given chances to fix up things I made mistake in the past. I can tell you that I love you or ask you if there is anything I can do for you anytime.
However, if those are all my misunderstandings and this is the last day of everything, I want to tell you how much I love you. And we should remember that Tomorrow is not guaranteed for anyone weather young and elderly, this might be the last chance to cuddle your loved one tight.
You don’t have to wait tomorrow if you can do it today because you would regret today that you took tomorrow coming for granted, that you thought you didn’t have time for even giving a smile, a hug or a kiss, that you didn’t make their last wish come true with the excuse of busyness.
So, let’s hold our loved one in our arms tightly and tell them that we love them and they are the precious in our heart forever, have the time to say” I’m sorry”, “Forgive me”, “Thank you” and “ Don’t worry” . If you could do so, you wouldn’t regret ‘Today’ even if you didn’t have your ‘Tomorrow’.”
This is a note which was left by a firefighter who passed away in the rescue in the 9.11 tragedy.
On the occasion of the recent tragedy in Japan with the all events after M10 earthquake, we all realized how precious life is. Among many reports, one of the impressive things about Japanese mentality was that the victims concerns aren’t even on themselves but their family, friends and people who are suffering around them. In reports, a boy in grade 4 in a refugee camp said that he was feeling very sorry for a baby in the freezing cold in the refugee camp. Some was crying with gratitude for their circumstances despite their life is still far from back to basic conditions and relief supplies still hadn’t reached many people. Appreciation and gentleness, the strength of Japanese mentality are shining in such a misery.
This is written by one of my friends on a blog.( It was in Japanese so I translate it. I tried to put words according to what I understood what she meant. ) It made me think how I can live better by remembering how precious every moment in our life is and being grateful for it.
Hope you all have a wonderful day.
Lots of love.
