Gains and Losses

Dear,

I heard this story recently.

A teacher had a bowl containing 3 apples.

He offered one to his student, who ate it happily.

After that, he asked the student how many apples were left, of which his student answered:

Three - one in his stomach, and 2 in the bowl.

The moral of the story is not to base gains and losses on the physical.

Isn't the apples that was eaten more of a gain than a loss?

As I thought about this, I realised that I did not actually lose you.

I gained you for six years, of which,

you had been a good girlfriend, then a good wife, a good daughter-in-law, and finally a good mummy. All this time, you were also a good daughter to your mummy.

In addition, you showed us by example how you would want Evan to be taken cared of and we'll continue it your way, even if it's the expensive way.

Your methods and values have influenced us, and from now on, lives with us and in us.

Evan will see your image in us and all of us will contribute to the mummy that you were.

You've performed your part perfectly and we've gained you in every where possible.

Now that you're gone, to continue to long for you, want more of you, or moan for the loss, would be greediness on our part.

Easier said then done though.

Easy to understand, but difficult to practice.

Maybe some master out there can help....
