What Really Matters @The End of Time?
I remember there was a time when I met this man years before my dad died.I used to call him “A money making factory”
. He spent his life in earning more and more. His family have very little memories with him. He was always busy and never there for them.
His sons got settled in their own lives somewhere far from where his home and daughters also got married.
When his wife died, my father went to him to pay condolences.
He said to my father, “Now I think, what I've earned. I worked day and night to make this money and what it gave me? At the end of my life, I'm here all alone, waiting for someone to come and talk to me for a while. I want someone to take whatever I've and give me their time. I need someone to be be here for me.”
I just learnt one thing from him. It's not money that matters. It's nothing material that matters. It's love, it's memories, it's relations, it's people who matter at the end of our lives.
It doesn't mean that money isn't important. Money has its own importance but time that you spend with your family is a little more important. The relationship you build with your family is even more important.

What more could anyone ask for than to live my life in a way that it brings a smile to someone when they think of me and say........yeah, she was a good egg.
Merry Christmas Bloggers
I do agree
It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Hope everyone enjoy the yuletide season
