Save the lost affection

When I was about to celebrate the Spring Festival, I suddenly found that in recent years, I was only busy with work and family, and owed too much debt to others! Colleagues, relatives, friends, neighbors! I've been having a hard time sleeping lately because of this overdue debt.

Put my idea to say and love wife listen to, wife pour very readily remind me, that is not simple? Hurry to return, otherwise, you will not feel at ease during the New Year! As a result, one after another, calls each other, one is to apologize, and the other is to invite them to get together. Over the phone, I repeated my reasons for meeting. Unfortunately, my next-door neighbor Hetago had passed away. He was only 48 years old when he died.

Last weekend, I very full three big table in the restaurant, please come to the long-lost relatives and friends, going on, I inherited, as usual, generous, raised his glass, passion, "for so many years, I because of negligence, owe our friendship so much, specially prepared on thin wine today, in order to apologize, also in order to save almost lost the family! More hope everyone take good care!"

That night, I don't really know how much I drank, or how long I drank, only to find that the waiters reheated the food, trotted downstairs from time to time to carry beer, and my friends and relatives passed out. It was the best, the most delightful, the most rewarding; There was no begging, no purpose at the wine table that day. Some were sincere, and some just needed to save the friendship and family love that had almost been lost. During the dinner, we thought again of brother Black Tower, whom we grew up together, and I burst into tears. If only he were still alive, if only he could be sitting with us drinking today! Tears, perhaps is the highest expression of happiness and sadness, happy, you will hug and cry; Sad, you will cry hard.

That night, I heard the most words is that you are really considerate, after the Spring Festival, we come to a big cycle! Not one of you is missing!

People ah, sometimes is such strange, why always know how to cherish after parting, after the flower fell to appreciate, because no one is perfect, gold is not pure. Have a tolerant and loving heart, treat others, is to treat yourself.

To err is human. It's better to change than to pass. People's life, always ups and downs, you can discard money, you can discard the status, but never can discard the family. The family is the oasis in the desert, when you lonely powerless, when you scarred, see is everywhere bright, so you are no longer lonely and afraid. The family is also the north star in the night, once we chase the target and ignore its existence, until one day we dizzy, slightly looked up, a beam of bright light to guide us to take resolute steps. If there is no affection in the world, in the dark road can not find the way forward, in the night sky of August 15 can not find the warm full moon......

Society is always in constant change, but no matter how, love will not change, we don't let the family dissension in the modern social change is more and more vulnerable to fragile collision, at least we can start from the self, do not give yourself a brief regret in life, as the saying goes, "the trees may prefer calm but the wind will not subside, son to raise and close not to stay." While we can now send their relatives a not luxury warm greetings, timely the warm family full collection in the heart.

"Can't stop love" so said, when I was a child, looking at the stars, when the meteor flew, but always too late to make a wish. Grow up, met their favorite people, but still too late. Think about it, every Spring Festival eve, there is always an irresistible voice in the call, that is, "go home! Hurry home..." In the face of such precious affection, how can we easily throw it away?

Because of this, it is said that people in a lot of time, their struggle is for a certain uncertain things, they lost a lot of the true meaning of life in the process of struggle, such as affection, such as love, such as friends, such as their own...... How few of them can truly comprehend from top to bottom!
