It was a cold night last jan. 09, 2009., when a friend of my family, "a lawyer" who was ill that time came to our house and said. "This is the time we will talk about the case you want me to arrange. I brought here the offender that you complained so you can talk things over and decide if you want to bring this to court". That man was not only our legal adiviser but as well as a friend to our family. I was really surprised of his looks. chilling inside his car, asking me to face the one who have offended us. I cant focus on the matters we are about to discuss because my mind was there thinking about the situation of our friend. I was forced to face things also because our legal advicer was in a hurry solving things as if he doesnt have any more time. I was very confused that time. Me and the one I complain agree to meet some things that will prevent us from briniging the issue to court. After a while, my legal adviser told me in a very gentle voice. "see, better to talk things over, I am in a hurry arranging this, beacause i dont want to dissappoint you". I was touched and i hug the man, and said "tito judge" I appreciate what you have done today. "thank you". I didnt have any idea. it was the last time I would touche and thank him.
Two days after, he died. It was then one of the saddest surprise i ever had in my life. I cried, and said. "he knew, he is running out of time, so he wanted to fix it all".... fortunate in a way, i felt. at eased..... not only beacause I am the last person he has done good. but rather, I am one of those who showed him appreciation of how "good he is" before leaving this earth
This only shows that, when a person sees he is dying, he knows it. so there is a certain feeling of "putting things into place" I just have the realization of doing the most out of what i have right now. Because you will never know, you havent had much time doing all the things you want. On the other hand, i need to understand, that "things are temporary, that as much as we can to appreciate each and every one around us. so when they are gone, we will not regret, that we havent showed them the love they desrved.. I hope this simple story brings realization that better feel satisified because you have showed it all rather than crying in regret because you never give a chance to show how grateful you are to have them.
