A chain email that I want to share…

January 4, 2007

I have never been a fan of chain emails and I never EVER sent them back nor sent them forward…

But this one struck me. But still I'm not passing it, nor sending it back, But Im posting it for everyone to see..

To realize
The value of a sister

Ask someone
Who doesn't have one
 


To realize
The value of ten years:
Ask a newly
Divorced couple.

 
To realize
The value of four years:
Ask a graduate.

 
To realize
The value of one year:
Ask a student who
Has failed a final exam.

 
To realize
The value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

 
To realize
The value of one month:
Ask a mother
who has given birth to
A premature baby.

 
To realize
The value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.

To realize
The value of one minute:
Ask a person
Who has missed the train, bus or plane.

 
To realize
The value of one-second:
Ask a person
Who has survived an accident.

 
Time waits for no one.

 
Treasure
every moment you have.

 
You will treasure it even more when
you can share it with someone special.

 
To realize the value of a
friend or family member :
LOSE ONE.

I have never been afraid to see death. My own death. I never even cared…I have accepted from a long time now that I may die in any minute and at least I know I have fulfilled my life the way I had been given (I really can't say the way I wanted it…) and am very thanksful of that…

What I am afraid of is losing someone, anyone, that I have been close to. It just hurts to know that you cannot do anything to save him/her. This is the reason why I share everything that I have with people who's very important to me. At least, I can say that I have made an effort to give someone comfort.

But now, something is bothering me a little bit. My sched is really hindering me from spending time with those very people and I am seeing so little of them. Im being denied the time for them. I just hope I can make up for every time I've lost. As said here, time waits for no one.

And I won't wait for time to finalize things for me…

I may be just over doing things, but It is just me expecting the worst at everyday so that when that worst come, i will be prepared. I just want people to know…

And all I want to know is that I did something worthwhile for someone else while I can still feel pain…

And i've read somewhere, "Pain is good. Pain is a friend. Cause when you still feel pain, that's the only time you know that you are still alive"

Life>Love>Pain>Friends>Family>Time>Death and everything else in between will be the only chain letter I'll be sending to everyone else.  To everyone important to me.
