LIFE IS FRAGILE, EVERY GESTURE IS OPPORTUNITY.. 💞
One day, a man came home after work and found his wife at the stove. He approached her, wrapped his arms around her, and showered her with kisses, happy to see her again.
During dinner, between smiles and lighthearted conversation, the woman’s phone rang: just a simple goodnight message from a friend. But that notification was enough to upset the man. He got up without saying a word and locked himself in the bedroom, leaving his dinner unfinished.
She, hurt, decided not to follow him. “He’s not a child,” she thought. She finished dinner alone and silently slipped into bed, turning her back to him.
In the middle of the night, she was struck by a sudden illness. She tried to wake him by touching his arm, but he, annoyed, brushed her hand away without looking at her. Moments later, a heart attack stole her breath.
In the morning, he got up as usual. Seeing her still in bed, he thought she was still angry and left without saying goodbye. Later, while in town, he saw a watch he thought she would like. He bought it, planning to make up with her that evening.
But when he returned, he found the table still set. And her, motionless in bed. When he got closer, he realized it was too late.
He collapsed, devastated. Consumed by regret. For the words left unsaid, for the hug he withheld, for letting pride speak instead of his heart.
Reflection
How many times do we let ourselves be wounded by pride? How often do we postpone saying “I’m sorry” or “I love you,” thinking we have time? But time doesn’t always wait for us. Life is fragile. Every word matters. Every gesture is an opportunity. Let’s not wait until we can no longer make things right. Let’s live with love, forgiveness, and honesty—before it’s too late.
