my mums just come back from Portugal today! go me heaps of gifts :) YAY! im so happy now that she's back! it seems as though coming back from her trip, her whole outlook on life is so much brighter, and appreciative. My sister and i were getting into an argument about me borrowing my sisters heels and she wouldn't let me, and so i called my sister a bitch. my mum then chose to share a little story with the both of us just to try and show us that you never know what you've really got till you've lost it. this is how the story went...its a true story by the wayback when the nazi's were transporting the jews to the concentration camps in Germany, this young girl and her younger brother had gotten separated from their parents, they were put onto a train packed with jews with people literally spilling out the doors. the sister noticed her younger brother had no shoes on, and scolded him "why dont you have any shoes on?! how can you have lost your shoes! your such an idiot!"
that was the last thing she had said to him before they both got separated from each other and the young girl had never seen her brother since then to this day.
after my mum had told the story she then asked me if i would be happy if the last thing i said to my sister was calling her a bitch.. the answer was obvious. it took something so small like a story like that to make me realize that we shouldn't waste time being angry at someone about something stupid. rather make an effort to love them always, because anything can happen and it may be the last time you love them again
