things that matter

"The saddest day of your life is when you're at your death bed and you stare into your spouse's and children's eyes and they stare into yours, and you realize that in that brief moment that you've been together, there was NO LOVE."

A friend shared this thought to me and I realized that sometimes we run after so many things that lead us to success and we forget the significant things of life. It made me think of the possibilities that could happen in the future. I might accomplish my dreams - wonderful home, great car, flourishing businesses, and all those great things we can dream of - but when my family is not alright, it is insignificant. After all, when my family is not whole, I, too am not whole.
