Savour the love of your loved ones before it is too late

“The love of our loved one’s that you miss today or ignore today will never come back.”

Savour the love of your loved ones before it is too late


A busy life had resulted in a situation in which I was not able to spend much time with my family. I returned home late and would find my six-year old daughter already asleep. I would have one drink too many in the night and sleep till late. By the time I woke up next day, my daughter would be gone to school. Sundays were spent in pursuing hobbies.
One Sunday I was going out with my friend’s then my daughter rushed towards me. She was upset that I was leaving her again and was not taking her along. She told me that she was making a special gift for me which would be ready only by the afternoon. She wanted me to return soon so that I could un-wrap it in her presence. But I was held up with my buddies and by the time I came back, it was almost two in the night and my daughter was fast asleep. Nevertheless, I saw a small box and it was light. I shook it from side to side but no sounds came. I hastily un-wrapped the box and found that it was empty. I was a little puzzled and tossed it aside. The next morning, I was woken up early by my daughter who was all ready to go to school. She asked me with a flush of excitement if I had got her gift. I told her that it was an empty box. “But Daddy, I had filled it with a hundred of kisses for you!” she said a little sadly. I had become so involved in my pursuit of pleasure that I had not been able to recognize her hundred kisses.
We are all stuck in the race of success or pleasure and don’t have time for our loved ones. By the times we realize it, it is too late.
