Can I Borrow $25?
A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
SON: 'Daddy, may I ask you a question?'
DAD: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the man.
SON: 'Daddy, how much do you make an hour?'
DAD: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the Man said angrily.
SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an Hour?'
DAD: 'If you must know, I make $50 an hour.'
SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
SON: 'Daddy, may I please borrow $25?'
The father was furious, '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 don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'
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 $25.00 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.
'Are you asleep, son?' He asked. 'No daddy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.
'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the man. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $25 you asked for.'
The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you daddy!'He yelled.. 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. 'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the father grumbled..
Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied. !
'Daddy, I have $50 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 $50 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 hours, but the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
From my house to yours
From my home to yours - enjoy.
Please don't break this even if you only send it to one person.
Thanks
Lis

Ja, børn tænker meget. Rigtigt meget. De har bare ikke altid sproget så de kan sætte ord på deres tanker. Og ofte lytter de voksne alligevel heller ikke.
Det kan godt være det lyder som løgn, men jeg kan huske tilbage til da jeg var kun et par år. Og det var store tanker jeg tumlede med dengang. Jeg kan huske da Kennedy blev skudt. Og det var noget der virkelig gik mig på. Jeg kan huske at jeg sov hos mine bedsteforældre, og min seng stod op af væggen ind til stuen hvor de sad og så tv. Og jeg hørte da de fortalte om det i nyhederne. De vidste ikke om han var død først. Men senere fik vi så at vide at han var død. Det var noget der optog mine tanker rigtigt meget dengang. Jeg snakkede ikke med de voksne om det. Havde sikkert ikke sprog til at udtrykke det. Jeg er født i november 1960. kennedy blev skudt i november 1963. Så jeg var lige blevet 3 år på det tidspunkt.
Ingen skal prøve at bilde mig ind, at små børn ikke tænker

Denne er fra Den nye Musical Mamma Mia og her er det ikke Agnetha der synger, men Meryl Strep.
Sang har, fra min yngste var ganske lille været hendes sang. Jeg ser hende for min - hvergang.
Og ja, jeg har frosset mange minder indeni. På den gode måde.
Hvor er det fantastisk hvor meget personlighed og sind hos der kan aflæses meget tidlig af en mor, min yngste, nu voksne datter er fra hun blev født helt speciel. og helt sin egen.
(ja begge mine døtre, men meget meget forskellige)
Jeg kom sådan til at tænke på den ved at læse ovenstpende indlæg.
