Think about it

Interesting.

A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of a big airport. As she would have to wait many hours, she decided to buy a book to spend her time. She also bought a packet of cookies. She sat down in an armchair in the VIP room of the airport to rest and read in peace. Beside the armchair where the packet of cookies lay, a man sat down beside her. He opened his magazine and started reading.
When she took out the first cookie, the man took one also. She felt irritated but said nothing. She just thought: "What the nerve...If I were in the mood, I'd punch him for daring!"
For each cookie she took, the man took one too. This was infuriating her but she didn't want to start a scene. When only one cookie remained, she thought: "What will he do now?"
Then the man, taking the last cookie, divided it into half.
That was too much. She was much too angry now. In a huff, she took her book and her things and stormed to the boarding place.
When she sat down in the plane, she looked into her purse for her eyeglasses. To her surprise, her packet of cookies was there, untouched, unopened.
She felt ashamed. She realised that she was wrong and had forgotten that her cookies were in her purse. The man had divided his cookies with her. He felt no anger or bitterness. Meanwhile, she had been very angry thinking she was dividing her cookies with him. And now, there was no chance to explain herself nor to apologise.

The moral of the story...
There are 4 things that you cannot recover.
1) The stone after the throw.
2) The word after it's said.
3) The occasion after the loss.
4) The time after it's gone.

Has anyone ever told you just how special you are?
The light you shine might even light a star.
Has anyone ever told you how important you make them feel?
Somebody out there is smiling about a love so true.


Sometimes, you feel so insignificant but truth is, you are everything to someone.



You're the perfect thing to say.
I'm sorry.
