Last moment


Hi everyone, yesterday, I listened to a presentation which made all of us emotional. I was blinking so hard to fight back the tears. She is a senior at our office, and yesterday she proved that she is also a loving friend, daughter and a mother. (I'm guessing a good wife too ;) ) Anyway, she related two stories about her last moments with her friend and her father. She sacrificed her time and work and went to see them, it happened to be the last moment she spent with them. This made us realize how our choices can have a significant impact on our life. If she hadn't gone for the last meal that she had with her dad, she will be regretting still. She didn't know it was the last dinner that she was ever gona have with her dad. This made me think when was the last meal I had with my dad? I can't remember. I regret to this date..., I could have spent more time with thaththi. Still I see him in my dreams, talking, sitting on the back seat of his motor bike, making fun of my mom, playing with our dog.. All these are memories and I wish I had more..




So we should all start to give time to our family and people who matter to us. She (The  senior business solutions engineer) also told how she spent time with her daughter playing scrabble and some games while having so much of work. She sacrificed and she gave priority to her daughter. That night the 5 year old daughter told, "Ammi I had a great time, Thank You"! These words must have meant sooo much to her because her voice started to crack and that made our eyes welled with tears. We work to make us and our family happy, but the time we share with them matters more. We should not make choices which will make us regret later.
