...we seldom see the value of someone when they are still with us....not all but mostly...but then when that someone is gone or far away from us, we soon realize his/her importance and value in our life...until we just notice its already too late...so why wait for that time to come when they are gone? it's better to show your gratitude and appreciation for having them as much as you can while you still have them within your reach, correct?

Yeah, I agree with u. I had experienced it before and I don't wanna feel that again. It's a miserable feeling when u know how important they are but u don't have any chance to let them know about it or to show it to them. That's why I started to learn that we have to enjoy what we have now, and thanked for people who help us before it's to late to let them know that we love them..

I do agree with you on that aspect.
We can only see the value of a person when he is lost.
Many times that we cannot see the good deeds of our family, friends and relatives when they are still within our reach, but once they are lost, we recall what they have done for us.

Sadly, this is always the case. The longer we know the person, the more we take him/her for granted. When he/she is no longer here, we always do something and that is: REGRET. It's hard for people to realise the importance of their loved ones. Maybe this is the nature of all human beings.

we should say kind words to our loved ones cuz thyre not going to be around forever. its true that we take them forgranted and we only realize their true value when theyre gone. most times we cannot appreciate ppls presence in our life until such time comes we lose them. nows the time we show them our gratitude and appreciation while theyre still around.
