He passed by…

Posted on December 9, 2008 | 1 Comment

Not everyone you will meet in this world, and became friends with, you can keep. There are those who will come into our lives just to teach us a lesson, or to play an important, yet temporary, role in our lives. Or they need to spend some time with us because we are on crossroads and we need them to make an important choice.

I now know why he “passed by”. He needed to tell me that my family is more important than any self gratification in the world. I was all for defying my parents when I met him. I was all for “ME” and to hell with everybody else.

But then, I realized that happiness will never be mine if I am at odds with my family. At the end of the day, your family will always be the first one to be there by your side during the tough times. I needed him then to realize this.

    Yes… No matter what.. Nobody else but your family will stick by our side no matter what & go through our rough times together. Friends come and go.. Of cos true friends will help too but not as far as how a family member will, esp your parents…
