Life is the most unpredictable possession we hold. And Death steals it away at an unexpected time. But one thing is certain as we enjoy Life. That we enjoy and live it to the fullest with our loved ones.
I hate it when my wife asks me to throw the garbage at night when I am already in front of my computer. I hate it when she asks me to fix her favorite tea when I know she can do it on her own. I hate it when I have to cook for the kids when she just watches her favorite TV shows.
BUT I DO THEM, anyways. Because I don't hate HER. Because I know she had a long day taking care of things I couldn't take care myself. Because time will come that I won't be able to do these things for her. Time will come when my kids go on their own and I won't be able to cook for them. Or help them out with their homework.
Time will come that I have to drink my wife's favorite tea without her or the other way around.
And I don't want to regret knowing that I could have done those things for my loved ones yet I did not just because I didn't want to. I may not be a perfect husband or a perfect father but every time there is opportunity to express my love to those I care about, I will do it no matter how I feel about it.
Because Life is so unpredictable. And every opportunity that we pass up is opportunity lost.
