The Most Important Words In The World!
Posted by admin in 1
What are the most important words in the world ’I do’ on a wedding day or a heartfelt declaration at the end of a telephone call? Some people might think that it is a baby’s first word ’dada’ or ’mama’ or the words from the boss that tell you that the job is yours?
Well a sad story that I read today made me think what are truly the most important words: the three simple words ’I love you’.
A brave woman called Lynda Hankey was confronted by car jackers attemting to steal her car: a yellow MG sports car that was her pride and joy. Lynda wasn’t prepared to let some low-life take something that she had worked so hard for but unfortunately it is on snap decisions like this that lives can change.
Lynda stepped in front of her car, but the thief showed no regard for anything except his own gratification and stepped hard on the accelerator throwing across the bonnet and high into the air before she crashed into the snow. What the thief didn’t think about, if he ever thinks about anything at all, is that he wasn’t only shattering Lynda’s life but that of her family, who were near her as she slipped away at the hospital later, as well.
Nathan Hankey, her eldest son, paid a moving tribute to Lynda on his Facebook page: "Rest in peace Mother, you were my world and you always will be. I’m glad I was with you and that the last words we said to each other were ’I love you’. Nathan has a lot of sadness that will stay with him forever, a dull ache that will always be there in the background when this initial suffocating pain has subsided, but at least he will feel comfort when he remembers these words.
We never know what life has around the corner for us and for our loved ones. Life can change in an instant and as the devastating events in Haiti have shown us, life can be lost in a moment. Please think about this as I have been, and call or visit the people that are close to you, especially if you have recently had an argument or there is a stupid resentment that has been simmering for too long. Just tell them ’I love you’, those three little words have always been the most importnat words in the world!
