In a small house by the road, lived a man and his son. Jim had a 4 year old son, Jim Jr. One day, while playing with his tricyle, little Jim found something amusing. He asked daddy, "Daddy, why do you always sit by the road when you have nothing to do?" Daddy replied, "Well son, one day when you grow up you'll know, by doing this, you calm yourself down.

Years passed, Jim continued sitting down near the main road, staring at traffic. Cars speeding, people crossing, people yelling, cars honking, yet Jim just sat and daze away.

Eventually, little Jim was 25 and daddy's health was failing. Daddy died not long after.
A few days later, little Jim's mum magically appeared at the door, Jim was speechless and thought that he was dreaming, but indeed it was his mum.
"Mum where'd you go? We all missed you so much, daddy hasn't mentioned about you since you left."
Tearing his mother replied, "I was always here, awaiting the day your father would ask me to stay, awaiting his embrace, but as days went by, I lost faith."

Little did his mother know, it was all too little too late.


Life is beautiful in its own ways. You see, had they been more attentive of people around them, they might just see, that other side. That helpless side.
