The Lives of 2 beautiful souls + 1 more..*love*

F A M I L Y

I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
"Oh excuse me please" was my reply.

He said, "Please excuse me too;
I wasn't watching for you."

We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way and we said goodbye.

But at home a different story is told,
How we treat our loved ones, young and old.

Later that day, cooking the evening meal,
My son stood beside me very still.

When I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
"Move out of the way," I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn't realize how harshly I'd spoken.

While I lay awake in bed,
God's still small voice came to me and said,

"While dealing with a stranger,
common courtesy you use,
but the family you love, you seem to abuse.

Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You'll find some flowers there by the door.

Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.

He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise,
you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes."

By this time, I felt very small,
And now my tears began to fall.

I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
"Wake up, little one, wake up," I said.

"Are these the flowers you picked for me?"
He smiled, "I found 'em, out by the tree.

I picked 'em because they're pretty like you.
I knew you'd like 'em, especially the blue."

I said, "Son, I'm very sorry for the way I acted today;
I shouldn't have yelled at you that way."
He said, "Oh, Mom, that's okay.
I love you anyway."

I said, "Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue."

FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company
that we are working for could easily replace us in
a matter of days.
But the family we left behind will feel the loss
for the rest of their lives.

And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more
into work than into our own family,
an unwise investment indeed,
don't you think?
So what is behind the story?

Do you know what the word FAMILY means?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

No..I dun haf a son..I haf a bro..n darlin bro, dis entry is dedicated to u..

Dear bro,

I am sorry when @ times, I get very angry wit u..n wheneva u r arnd me, I feel oh so very short/hot tempered..I dunno y bt sometimes ur presense juz irks me..

I can tink of several reasons y I get easily annoyed wit u..U're very pampered or rather spoilt..almost wateva u wan, u get..u can be rude in insensitive @ times..U treated our last mbak like a slave..n e main reason y I get very very angry wit u is when u r so very rude to Abg Adib..U show no respect to him watsoeva n talk so rudely to him, knowin tat he dun scold back..in e end, when he told me abt it, I erupt like an active volcano as I cant stand rude ppl ..esp when u r rude to someone who is way older than u n u hurt his feelings..

As an educator, I am always @ my best behaviour..being all lovin n sweet to all e children but when I am wit u, I juz cant bring myself to do e same..

But do u noe tat everytime I say anythin mean to u, I felt so guilty tat I cried myself to sleep..I often confided in ur other sistaz n told them abt my guilt..I say to myself..how can I be so nice to e children whom I teach n so mean to my own flesh n blood..

So bro, I wan to treat u beta..I tried..n I will still continue tryin even tho it means biting my tongue n controllin my temper..but help me..learn to respect ur elders..not juz abah, mummy..u haf to respect US..ur elder sistaz n Abg Adib n all other relatives/friends..

Surely, u dun wan to get on everyone's nerves all e time..We wanna cut u some slack so help us..n Kak girl dun wan to keep on scolding u..

Darlin bro, do noe tat I do love u oh so very much tho I dun reli show it..Genetically, U r e closest resemblance to me..We both share e same blood type as dad, unlike e rest..We are born in the year of e pig, juz like dad..See..we are rather similar tho our characters are totally diff..

Bro, lets tighten e loose strings as I wan to get closer to u as u r e onli bro tat I haf..when daddy n mummy are gone, u will be e 'head' of e family..I dun wan dis love/hate relationship to continue as I do love u lots..

From tomolow onwards..or rather, since its after midnight now..from todae onwards, I give u my upmost promise to treat u beta..we haf our close moments when I was ther, by ur side when mbak left us so suddenly n I kept u company,spending all my time wit u so u dun miss her too much..All of us(ur sistaz) made sure tat we kept ur spirits up tho we could c how sad n lonely u were..I also was ther to keep u occupied when daddy went to China..I wan to keep on bein by ur side,supportin n guidin u all e way..so lets haf more close than distant moments,k?

Love u always,
Kak Girl..
