Saying "Good Bye" is tough

Has it ever occurred to you that, saying a "Good Bye" is a tough thing to do? 

There are times when you most certainly feel so. After having a good time with your family, friends, or relatives, when you think about leaving them, your mind goes that crazy of not having to leave and wish for the moment to just stay on. Weddings, birthdays, picnics, parties, all bring in fun-filled moments that leaves an ever lasting impact on most occasions. The contentment and merriness would only raise after all the excitement of being together and we can't just let go of our beloved because deep inside we don't want to depart or more so want their company to last a little longer. So saying a good bye then would seem so hard. 

I always wonder how a "Bye" can be "Good"! How is it good when you are hugging your loved ones and whisper "Good Bye". Is it a good situation when your heart beats faster, continuously asking you to do something to stop that person and hold them with you! Is it really good at that instance? May be it is right to say that, Bye is not Good for you, but you want it to be Good for the one leaving you for days or for months or may be for years..!

Our little heart is too big to have spaces for people who come into our life to make us smile, cry and live! And it is too small to handle these situations of separations. They say nothing is permanent in life - not our faith, not our destiny and not our people. But we can never stop people coming into our life just because they are going to leave us someday. Rather let them come, live every moment of your life with them and fill their life with happiness.

Facing separation requires guts and stability in our mind. It makes us feel the vacuum. It hurts us, beats us and kills our heart! Everyone is going to face it someday, with a heavy heart and teary eyes. That day may have already gone or it will come in future. I am not sure how perfectly we would handle these situations. But all I can say is...

Though saying "Good Bye" will add blessings, just don't forget to say "See you again"!

Family over work!!!

An old one, read it a number of times before! Even then, I get the same feel everytime, touched!

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.

SON: ‘Daddy, may I ask you a question?’

DAD: ‘Yea...h sure, what it is?’ replied the man.

SON: ‘Daddy, how much do you make an hour?’

DAD: ‘That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?’ the man said angrily.

SON: ‘I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?’

DAD: ‘If you must know, I make $50 an hour.’

SON: ‘Oh,’ the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: ‘Daddy, may I please borrow $25?’

The father was furious, ‘If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don’t work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.’

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn’t ask for money very often The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.

‘Are you asleep, son?’ He asked.

‘No daddy, I’m awake,’ replied the boy.

‘I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier’ said the man. ‘It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the $25 you asked for.’

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. ‘Oh, thank you daddy!’ he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

‘Why do you want more money if you already have some?’ the father grumbled.

‘Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,’ the little boy replied.

‘Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.’

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.
It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let 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 worth of your time with someone you love. If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours... But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
