I used to treat life as if there is always tomorrow. I don’t say sorry to the people I hurt. I don’t say I love you to the people that are important to me. I ignored people’s presence. Because I always thought that I still have a lifetime to do that. But one incident made me realize that life is short. We’ll never know what will happen today. We’ll never know who we might lose today. It is my grandmother who taught me that I should forgive those people who have caused damage to my heart. She always tells me that life is too short to be angry. I should learn to forgive, let go, and move on. She died without me knowing that day, that it will be my last moment with her. I wasn’t able to tell her that I love her. My grandmother taught me a lot of things. But for me, this is the best advice that she gave me. Since the day that I lost her, I always ask myself these questions every day. How often did I tell those closest to me how much they matter to me? Do I say I love you every day? When did I last embrace the person that is nearest to my heart? When did we last spend time together? I know I treated life better since I kept my grandmother’s advice in my heart and in my head. Every time I have a problem, I don’t cry over it, but find a solution to it. Every time I am with the person that I love, I don’t let the time pass by without telling her how much she means to me. Now, I am living my day as if it is my last day here on earth. I find time to enjoy, relax and give as much as I can give to have a peace of mind that I deserve.
