Hi friends, i remember a story let me tell u. Once a man had a only child and his wife had died ealier. Once he came in the evening and hs son asked him," Dad how do u earn in an hour?" His dad 1st got angry and then told him, "50$". Then his son asked him ,"DAd can u give me 25$ i have some work?" . His dad denied him and sent him to his room. Then he realised that it must be important bcoz genrally he dosn't ask anything. He went to his son's room and gave hm 25$. His son without saying anything took money and near his pillow and took out some more money.On seeing this his dad got angry that when he had money then why did he ask. His son came and said, "DAD HERE'S 50$, CAN U COME AN HOUR EARLY TOMORROW AND HAVE DINNER WITH ME?". His son was only 10 years old. He was crushed. He put his arms aroud his son and begged for forgivness. It just an reminder to all of u working so hard in life. We should not time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us,those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that 50$ worth of ur time with someone u love. If we die tommorrow,the company that we are working for could easiy replace us in a matter of hours.But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

this is a nice story, thanks for sharing! i hope i get to remember this when i have kids of my own so that i will spend more time with them. right now, i know i have neglected my friends and family. i try to visit my father and grandmother once a month and during holidays to try to be with them while i can, they are getting old and i am the only daughter nearby, my sister is in the US with her own family and she calls them sometimes and that makes my father and grandmother happy.

its good if u would be able to remember this story when married. I would like to tell u something that in old age, people feel very lonely and want someone to be with them. So i would suggest that if u aren't able to meet ur grandparents then atleast talk with them on phone. It would make them feel gr8 and their blessings will make ur life gr8.
