Friends

Nice post, received via WhatsApp. Plz read.

I never sat on a sofa with my father & after my marriage, he had already left me.......

"Many years ago, after I got married I was sitting on a couch on a hot, humid day, sipping frozen juice during a visit to my father.

As I talked about adult life, marriage, responsibilities, and obligations, my father thoughtfully stirred the ice cubes in his glass and cast a clear, sober look at me.

*"Never forget your friends," he advised, "they will become more important as you get older."*

"Regardless of how much you love your family and the children you happen to have, you will always need friends.

Remember to go out with them occasionally, do activities with them, call them ..."

"What strange advice!" I thought. "I just entered the married world, I am an adult and surely my wife and the family that we will start will be everything I need to make sense of my life."

Yet I obeyed him; kept in touch with my friends and annually increased their number. Over the years, I became aware that my father knew what he was talking about!

In as much as time and nature carry out their designs and mysteries on a man, friends are the bulwarks of his life.

After 50 years of life, here is what I learned:

Time passes.

Life goes on.

The distances increase

Children grow up & and become independent and although it breaks the parents' heart but they are often separated from them.

Jobs come and go.

Illusions, desires, attractions, sex ... weaken.

People do what they should not do.

The parents die.

Colleagues forget the favors.

The races are over.

But, True friends are always there, no matter how long or how many miles they are.

A friend is never more distant than the reach of a need, reaching out to you intervening in your favor, waiting for you with open arms or with blessings for your life.

When we started this adventure called LIFE, we did not know of the incredible joys or sorrows that were ahead.

We did not know how much we would need from one another.

Love your parents, take care of your children, but keep a group of good friends.

Dedicated to all my Friends.

What happens after your funeral?

Do you know what normally happens after your funeral?

In a few hours the cry sound will be completely stopped.

Family will be busy ordering food from hotels for relatives..

Grandchildren running and playing.

Some men would go to the tea shop for walk before going to bed.

Your neighbour will be angry, thinking that your people may have thrown the Ritual leaves close to their gate.

A relative will talk to your daughter on the phone about not being able to come in person due to an emergency situation.

At the next day's dinner, few relatives get reduced, and few complains not having enough salt in the curry.

Foreign relations would have secretly planned tourism, as if they had never looked so far on the way there.

A relative may be complaining about funeral that he has spent a few hundred rupees more on his share.

The crowd will slowly begin to dissolve .

In the coming days Some calls may come to your phone without knowing you are dead.

Your office will be rushing to find someone to replace you.

One week later, after hearing the news of your death, Some Facebook friends may search with curious sadness to know what your last post was.

In two weeks your son and daughter will return to work after their emergency leave get over.

By the end of the month,Your spouse will be watching a comedy show and laughing.

In the coming months, your close relationships will return to the cinema and the beach.

Everybody’s life will go back to normal Just as there is no difference between a withered leaf of a big tree and what you live and die for, it all happens so easily ,so fast, without any movement.

Rains have started, the election is coming, the crowds on the buses are as usual, an actress is getting married, the festival is coming, the World Cup cricket is going as planned, the flowers are in full bloom, and your pet gave birth to next puppy.

You will be forgotten by this world at an astonishing pace.

In the meanwhile your first year death anniversary will be celebrated in a grand manner.

In the blink of an eye Years have passed and there is no one to talk about you.

One day, just looking at old photos, one of your close friend may remember you, In your hometown, of the thousands of people you've become acquainted with, only one person may remember and talk about sometime.

You maybe living elsewhere, as someone else, if reincarnation is true. Otherwise, you will be nothing and will be plunged into darkness for decades.

Tell me now... People are waiting to forget you easily

Then who are you running around for?

And who are you worried for?

For most part of your life, say 80%, you think about what your relatives and neighbors think about you.. Are you living a life to satisfy them? NO USE

Life is only Once , just live it up Fully..
