"Daddy, may I ask you a question?" DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?" SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?" DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour." SON: "Oh! (With his head down). SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $50?" The father was furious. DAD: "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 work hard everyday for such this childish behavior." 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 $ 50 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. DAD: "Are you asleep, son?" SON: "No daddy, I'm awake". DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50 you asked for." The little boy sat straight up, smiling. SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!" 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. DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?" SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. "Daddy, I have $100 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 $100 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 days. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family. Some things are more important than others.

oh how true.....

'some things are more important than others' .................................................. 'just make someone happy, make one someone happy and you will be happy too'... sung by Jimmy Durante, currently, very cleverly, being used in a Christmas ad for the best known soft drink.  We had it on a 78 when I was a child.

I  am overwhelmed by the gifts I have received from some of you folks on here.  I didn't know quite how or what to say to you, but Tommy's post gave me an 'in'..

You, the people concerned, have no idea of how you have enriched my life with your generosity.   I am not overendowed with family affection, there aren't many of us, and in the past 2 years I have lost a mother,  a sister and young cousin to the same disease I was diagnosed with in September 2012. I do not wish to speak to a stranger about my deepest feelings and fears, although no doubt that time will come.  I believe I have received the same empathy, understanding and common sense privately from some of you. Just talking

So tell them, these people who are important to you, tell them you love them, that you think they're magic. Just make someone happy ............. and you will be happy too.  I am. I thank you. 

Sorry Ed for hijacking your post.

I am with you there Carol. Tell them you love them today as tomorrow you might not get the chance. I wish you the christmas that you would wish for yourself, filled with peace & love from your friends. xx
