Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a DISTANCE. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of, or at least minimize your time with, draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships....
Father was a hardworking man who delivered bread as a living to
support his wife and three children. He spent all his evenings after work
attending classes, hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a
better paying job. Except for Sundays, Father hardly ate a meal together with
his family. He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his
family with the best money could buy. Whenever the family complained that he was not spending
enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them. But he
often yearned to spend more time with his family. The day came when the examination results were announced.
To his joy, Father passed, and with distinctions too! Soon after, he was
offered a good job as a senior supervisor which paid handsomely. Like a dream come true, Father could now afford to provide
his family with life’s little luxuries like nice clothing, fine food and
vacation abroad. However, the family still did not get to see father for
most of the week. He continued to work very hard, hoping to be promoted to the
position of manager. In fact, to make himself a worthily candidate for the
promotion, he enrolled for another course in the open university. Again, whenever the family complained that he was not
spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for
them. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family. Father’s hard work paid off and he was promoted. Jubilantly,
he decided to hire a maid to relieve his wife from her domestic tasks. He also
felt that their three-room flat was no longer big enough, it would be nice for
his family to be able to enjoy the facilities and comfort of a condominium.
Having experienced the rewards of his hard work many times before, Father
resolved to further his studies and work at being promoted again. The family
still did not get to see much of him. In fact, sometimes Father had to work on
Sundays entertaining clients. Again, whenever the family complained that he was
not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for
them. But he often yearned to spend more time with his family. As expected, Father’s hard work paid off again and he
bought a beautiful condominium overlooking the coast of Singapore. On
the first Sunday evening at their new home, Father declared to his family that
he decided not to take anymore courses or pursue any more promotions. From then
on he was going to devote more time to his family. Father did not wake up the next day.
