She was just here….
Just a second ago…. Less than a second… more than a second…. Who knows!!
You are telling me she is gone?
Okay…maybe for you…I am not going to convince you otherwise.
I will just tell you a short story, and then we can revisit this subject!
Okay?!!
Once upon a time, there was a simple guy who lived in the capital. He was handsome, very polite and smart. Help, he provided to whoever is in need, with no limits or questions. He would keep his mind occupied with a stranger’s problem, ignoring his own conflicts for days, weeks and in some cases years!
Nothing in return, he made a fortune of friends! He made a treasure of loyal people, and a mountain of smiles.
He made people wear a smile in funerals, just looking at him or sometimes just knowing he was in the area!
Words would always escape his tongue. However, his eyes were speaking a million tongues.
Can you imagine someone telling you your best bedtime story with his eyes!? Will that bedtime story ever die or be swept out of your memory? Wouldn’t you try to do the same thing to a next generation? Wouldn’t the next generation try to reach this very same chain of thoughts?
What If you could sleep tight, with nothing to think about and nothing to regret at night?
What if you only needed him in your life to achieve that?!
What if he could, mentally, touch your shoulder, and tell you everything is going to be okay?!
What if you did not need his physical being to feel all these things?
He already made you feel all these things, not being there in the same place as you!
He already taught you how to do, first hand!
Ah okay… so he is passed.
What? For 2 years now? oh okay, well I didn’t know.
It surely doesn’t feel like it?
But if that so, did I ever need his presence? I mean physical presence!
So, what am I supposed to miss?
He already taught me everything I do and know!
Well alright I suppose I should pay my condolences.
Just to be polite to his family… nothing more!
Oh right we were talking about someone else in the beginning!
“She was just here”
Shall we just revisit the subject?
never mind…. Yeah yeah I know.
Alright,
See you next time,
Thank you,
