Each one of us at some point or another believe that the people who care for us will always be there. But it may not be so always. Sometimes to know the value of something you have to lose it, or atleast come close to losing it.



Our parents, family and friends are the people with whom we interact everyday. We must realise that there is no guarantee that each of them will be available for us all the time. We sometimes don't notice the good deeds and the contributions that each of them make in our lives.



The one day, suddenly, the people are gone. Too late to do anything but to stare helplessly as your world falls apart. At that point we begin to realize just how much we've lost. The space that was once filled is now empty. We then regret that we didn't appreciate these people enough while they were there. Even though it is very hard, and sometimes impossible to change the past, we can change the present. Look around, think about who in your life contributes to your development on a regular basis and cherish what you have at this very moment, because it just might not be there the next.



It's okay to tell people how much you need them and how much you love them. Do it while they're here.
