RE: ADSactly Short Story - Things Left Undone
This story of akin leaves a clear message "that in life, not everything is work" and we forget the most important thing in life that is to love the person who loves us.
Akin had to live through this bitter experience to realize that he was not happy with what he was doing and that he had neglected his beautiful girlfriend for his work.
It's sad but we have to go through situations like these to realize our wrong life. Something similar happened to me. "I focused so much on my work that I completely forgot the person I loved the most in the world." My father when I realized it was too late my father had gone with God.
At that moment I realized that in my last two years I was a bad son and now it hurts in my soul not to have spent more time with my father.
But I can not return the time to see him again to give him a hug and tell him how much I still want him .. :(
So many things come at us in life, that it is often too difficult to remain focused on the things that truly matter. We often get fixated on dealing with things that seem urgent instead of giving time to things that are important but do not seem urgent. If we are lucky, we get a wake -up call like Akin. If not we realize too late.
I am sorry to hear about you and your father. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your life with us. You're appreciated. All the best.
You are right friend and thank you for your comment.
