In this life, what did you miss?

The wife asked the husband when she was 25. The husband worriedly replied, “I missed a good job.” When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus. At 45, the husband sadly said, “I missed the last momentsaying goodbye to my grandfather before his last breath.” At 55, the husband said disappointingly, “I missed a good chance to retire (退休). At 65, the husband hurriedly replied, “I missed the time for a dentist.”

At 75, the wife did not ask the husband anymore. The husband was in front of the very sick wife with his knees down. Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied, “In this life, I did not miss having you!”

The husband was full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy with work and personal things. So much so he had never thought about her. The husband hugged the wife and said, “Over 50 years, how I had allowed myself to be so blind to your love and care for me.”

In the busy life, so many people fill all their lives with their jobs. These people spend all their time and health meeting the social expectations. They never spare time on health care. They miss the chances to be with their children in their growing up. They pay no attention to the loved ones who care for them, and also their health.

Nobody knows what is going to happen one year from now. Life is not long, so always live in the now. Express your thanks to your loved ones in words. Show your care with actions. Treat each day as the last day of life. In this way, when you are gone, you loved ones would have nothing to feel sorry about.
