A little sweet girl stood under a canopy.
She had just gone shopping in the supermarket with her mother.
She will have been about 6 years old, this beautiful
red-haired freckled image of innocence. It rained outside.
You know, that kind of rain overflows and drainage pits flooding,
so rushed to hit the earth, that it did not have time to
put the beam a bit softer.
We were all under this awning at the entrance of the supermarket.
We wait, some patiently, others 'irritated',
because nature had messed up their hasty day.
I am always a bit dreamy when it rains.
I disappear in the sound and in the face that the sky washes away the dirt and
dust of the world. Memories of 'running and splashing' as a 'child', playing so carefree
in your thoughts, as a welcome break from a past day with
worries and stress ...
Her voice was so beautiful when it interrupted the hypnotic trance
we all were trapped. Mama, let's run through the rain," she said.
"What?", Asked Mom.
"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.
No darling. We wait until it gets a little less, Mama answered.
The child waited another minute and repeated,
"Mommy, let's run through the rain."
"We get drenched when we do that," Mama said. No, we will not, mama. That's not what you said this morning,
"the girl said as she pulled her mom's arm.
"This morning? When did I say that we could run through the rain and
not get wet? "
The girl said quietly: "Do not you remember that?
When you talked to dad about his cancer, you said,
"If we come through this together, we'll get through everything!
"Everyone was suddenly silent.
I swear you did not hear anything but the rain.
We were all dead silent.
The next few minutes nobody came and no one left.
Mama thought about what she would answer for a moment.
Some would laugh at it or make fun of it.
Some would even ignore what they said.
But this was a moment of affirmation in a child's life.
A moment of innocent trust, that when fed and
cared for, will flourish in faith in the good things and the hope of life. "Honey, you're right. Let's run through the rain.
If it should be like being wet from above,
well, then maybe we just needed a wash, "Mama said.
There they went.
We all stood there watching and laughing, as they moved forward
jumps through the cars, and yes, through the puddles.
They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They were drenched.
But they were followed by a few others who shouted and laughed
as children on their way to their cars.
And yes, me too. I ran and got wet. I also needed a wash.
Circumstances or people can take away your money, your material possessions and your
health.
But no one can ever take away your precious memories ...
Do not forget to make 'time' and to take the opportunity to
make memories every day.
For everything and for every purpose under the sky there is a season and a time.
Save the sunny days for the dark moments.
This is a message to remind us of life
and values ??in life ...
Together a glass of wine, a fresh beer, a cozy BBQ among neighbors
and friends, a terrace, enjoying the daily things,
and a bit of humor ... I hope you appreciated it.
I HOPE THAT YOU ALWAYS TAKE THE TIME
TO RACE THROUGH THE RAIN.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person,
an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them,
but a lifetime to forget them. ...............
