If I Die Tomorrow...



A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old waiting for him at the door.

: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'
DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.
: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the man said angrily.
: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'
: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'

The father was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense,
then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard every day for such
childish frivolities.' The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

'Are you asleep, ?' He asked.
'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy. 'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.'

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!' He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father. 'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled. Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.
'Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.'

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little , and he begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to
us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $50 worth of your time with someone you love.

If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family & friends we leave
behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.

Can I Borrow $25?

Hi bro santol, yes, sometimes we get so engrossed with the other things in life and take the loved ones for granted, I hope the young parents out there will remember always that we labor because of our loved ones, in cases where job comes in conflict with our responsibility with them one must think of them first.

    Sis Odette, I been wanting to for years but hesitate until I'm sure I'm ready for it. However, rest assured you that it shall be done. What I've been doing is a preparation towards that end and, in way, trying to accomplish what I wanted for myself. Once I'm there, all my time and efforts shall be devoted entirely to my family. In my younger years, I never thought that family life could be so complicated. I am very thankful that my first love for turning me down and put some senses in my empty shell. I guess the saying, "the more you learned, the more you don't understand" really applies. Thanx.
Bro, thats the key, one must be ready and sure. Goodluck.
Follow your dreams... and hit the mark.

 My first intention upon noticing the confusion I made on your article was to send you an explanation, but changed my mind until I can verify and know how it could have happened. I have consulted a professor in my school who works as a webmaster and some friends who are expert in the field; all of them have the same opinion that a member has no way to be able to tamper other members account. The only possibility is that I login to her account since I'm pretty sure I wrote that comment; hence, she is my ghost and since ghost has no form, the guilt is entirely mine. The thought of having split personality send shiver down my spine.

I really feel bad about this and my only consolation is the fact that it happened in your blog. You're an angel for ignoring it. I always knew that you're a great lady and it's you heart that is the greatest. Thank you very much for your understanding and the opportunity to read your blog that gives me so much pleasure.

I wish you all the blessing that He can possibly afford to give... Goodbye.
