just like what happened with me
here it starts
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 son on the swing in the blue sweater.”Then, looking at his watch, he called to his son. “What do you say we
go, Todd?” Todd pleaded, “Just five more minutes, Dad. Please? Just
five more minutes.”
The man
nodded and Todd continued to swing to his heart’s content.Minutes
passed and the father stood and called again to his son. “Time to go
now?” Again Todd pleaded, “Five more minutes, Dad. Just five more
minutes.” The man smiled and said, “O.K.”“My, you certainly are a patient father,” the woman responded.
The
man smiled and then said, “My older son 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 Todd.He thinks he has five more minutes to swing.
The truth is, I get Five more
minutes to watch him play.”Life is all about making priorities, what are your priorities?
Give someone you love 5 more minutes of your time today.
