Thank you my dear friend for this gentle reminder! Namaste, LUNA

> Daddy, how much do you make an hour???

>

> A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-

year old son waiting him at the door.

>

> SON : " Daddy, may I ask you a question? "

>

> DAD: " Yeah sure, what is it? "

>

> SON : " Daddy, how much do you make an hour? "

>

> DAD: " That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing? "

>

> SON : " I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an

hour? "

>

> DAD: " If you must know, I make $100 an hour. "

>

> SON : " Oh! (with his head down).

>

> SON : " Daddy, may I please borrow $50? "

>

> The father was furious.

>

> DAD: " If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some

money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march

yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are

being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish

behavior.

> The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

>

> The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little

boy's questions.

>

> How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

>

> After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started To

think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that

$50 and he really didn't ask for money very often.

>

> The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the

door.

>

> DAD: " Are you asleep, son? "

>

> SON : " No daddy, I'm awake " .

>

> DAD: " I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's

been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50

you asked for. " The little boy sat straight up, smiling.

>

> SON : " Oh, thank you daddy! Then, reaching under his pillow he

pulled out some crumpled up bills.

>

> The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry

again.

>

> The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at

his father.

>

> DAD: " Why do you want more money if you already have some? "

>

> SON : " Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.

>

> " Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please

come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you. "

>

> The father was crushed.

>

> He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his

forgiveness.

>

> It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life.

>

> We should not let time slip through our fingers without having

spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to

our hearts.

>

> Do remember to share that $100 worth of your time with someone you

love?

>

> If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could

easily replace us in a matter of days.

>

> But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for

the rest of their lives.

>

> And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to

our family and friends.

>

> This e-mail is a message to say value your family because you never

know what tomorrow may bring!!!

>

> Call your family and let them know that you love them and you want

to spend time with them.
