There was once a man who loved his wife very much, he was also much attached to her. He gave her everything he could, he showered her with so much love and kindness, and the wife did not appreciate his love at all. Even though the man was just an ordinary man who did not have much money. He could buy his wife anything in the world and she would still say that the husband was fulfilling his duty as a husband. The man would buy his wife a handbag but she would just respond back by mocking him, because the material was low quality. Even though she would constantly mock him he would just smile and say “one day darling I will become rich and buy all the expensive presents for you”.
One evening the man was on his way back from work he brought a handful of meat, he reached home and the wife responded “what was the point of even buying meat, how are we going to make our meal with just a handful of meat, did you forget the other ingredients which require to make a meat dish” the husband would try and do the sweetest things just to put a smile on her face and she would just quarrel and fight.
One day the man had a headache really bad, so he went to the hospital to get checked out, as the pain was really quite severe, the doctors ran tests the man patiently waited for his results, after a few hours of waiting at the hospital the doctors had said that a tumor had appeared in my head, the doctors advised the man that he would need to move to the special care unit, so they could keep an eye on him as his condition was worsened. After a few weeks the doctors said they were going to operate on the man so they could remove the tumor, however, it was too late the infection had spread. The man knew he did not have long to live, he felt pain one evening and he felt as if he did not have long to live. He responded in pain to his wife, “please take care of yourself, I’m sorry I was not good enough for you, you deserved the very best” within three minutes of saying that to his wife he gave his last breath.
Moral of this short article is:
- Always appreciate what are given weather small or big
- Love is not all about how much we have, but it’s all about how we share the little we have.
