Life Story: Never Mind, There's Tomorrow Part 2

One day, disaster struck and his wife was killed in an accident. It was a hit and run accident. On that day, he was in the middle of an important meeting. Failing to understand that it is a fatal accident, he arrived by his wife's deathbed only to see her on the verge of death. Before he could mouth out the words, "I love you", his wife passed away.
The man became despondent and tried to find solace with his children after his wife's death. However, he soon realized that the children did not even try to communicate with him. Soon, his children grew up and found their own families. Nobody cared for this old man who didn't spare his time for them in the past.


He moved into the best old folk's home which provides excellent service with the money he had saved for his fiftieth, sixtieth, and seventieth wedding anniversary celebrations. All the money intended for Hawaii, New Zealand and holidays in various countries went into the fund that pays for his stay in the home.
From that time until his deathbed, there were only old folks and nurses taking care of him. He felt the loneliness that he did not feel before. 
Upon his deathbed, he called a nurse in and said to her, "Ah. If only I had realized this earlier... ", and died with tears on his cheeks.



Time never stops for anybody. Before you realize it, you have gone very far along the path of life. Hence, if you had quarreled with someone, make up quickly! If you feel you need to hear your friend's voice, don't hesitate to pick up the phone. If there are many dreams that you wish to fulfill, fulfill them as soon as possible.
Lastly, but most importantly, if you feel you need to tell somebody that you care, don't wait until it is too late. If you keep thinking you will do it another day, then that day will never come. If you always think that tomorrow will come, then 'tomorrow' will run out quickly and you'll realize that time has already passed by. Treasure tomorrow and don’t live a life of regrets.
