Kisa Gotami.
Kisa Gotami was a wife of a wealthy man.After losing her only child, Kisa Gotami became desperate and asked if anyone can help her to bring the child back to life.
An old man told her to meet Buddha. Buddha told her that before he could bring the child back to life, she should find white mustard seeds from a family where no one had died.
She desperately went from house to house, but to her disappointment, she could not find a house that had not suffered the death of a family member.
Finally the realization struck her that there is no house free from mortality.
Although it is good to live hundred years , it is better to live every single day of life to the fullest, knowing that death is imminent.
Wish everyone a blessed Friday and a peaceful weekend!!!
