Just Five More Minutes

Dear all,
I think this is worth to share, life is too precious that we can't afford to
lose any minutes to spend with the one we love.

While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench
near a playground. "That's my son over there," she said, pointing to a
little boy in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide. "He's a fine
looking boy" the man said. "That's my daughter on the bike in the
white dress." Then, looking at his watch, he called to his daughter.
"What do you say we go, Melissa?" Melissa pleaded, "Just five more
minutes, Dad. Please? Just five more minutes." The man nodded and
Melissa continued to ride her bike to her heart's content. Minutes
passed and the father stood and called again to his daughter. "Time
to go now?" Again Melissa pleaded, "Five more minutes, Dad. Just
five more minutes." The man smiled and said, "OK."
"My, you certainly are a patient father," the woman responded.
The man smiled and then said, "Her older brother Tommy was killed
by a drunk driver last year while he was riding his bike near here.
I never spent much time with Tommy and now I'd give anything for
just five more minutes with him. I've vowed not to make the same
mistake with Melissa. She thinks she has five more minutes to ride
her bike. The truth is, I get Five more minutes to watch her play."
Life is all about making priorities, what are your priorities?Give
someone you love 5 more minutes of your time today!
