It made me think about how far the email had to travel from her computer which is an arms length\u00a0from me. Firstly, probably to a satellite\u00a0in space, and then to my server, and back to the satellite and then to my computer right in front of me, and all that in less than one minute.<\/p>\n<div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:center;\"><b>Life has an expiry date&#8230;<\/b><\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>&#8221; When I was a kid, my Mum liked to make food for dinner every now &amp; then &amp; I remember one night\u00a0in particular when she had made dinner after a long, hard day at work.<\/p>\n<p>On that evening so long ago, my Mum placed a plate of bread jam and extremely burned biscuits in front\u00a0of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!<\/p>\n<p>Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my Mum and ask me how my day was at school.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember hearing my Mum apologize to my dad\u00a0for burning the biscuits. And I&#8217;ll never forget what he said:&#8221;Honey, I love burned biscuits.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned.<br \/>\nHe wrapped me in his arms and said,&#8221;Your mum put in a long hard day at work today and she&#8217;s real tired.<\/p>\n<p>And besides&#8230; A burnt biscuit never hurt anyone but harsh words do!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You know, life is full of imperfect things&#8230; And imperfect people. I&#8217;m not the best at hardly anything,\u00a0and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>What I&#8217;ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults and choosing to celebrate\u00a0each other&#8217;s differences, is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting\u00a0relationship. So&#8230;please pass me a biscuit. And yes, the burnt one will do just fine!<\/p>\n<p>Life is too short to wake up with regrets&#8221;&#8230;<br \/>\nLove the people who treat you right and have compassion for the ones who don&#8217;t.<br \/>\nENJOY LIFE NOW &#8211; IT HAS AN EXPIRY DATE<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><em style=\"font-size:16px;text-align:center;color:#333333;line-height:1.5;\">If you have received an email that you think is worth publishing here sent it to us and when we have a space open we will post it for the Independent World to see whisnews21<a href=\"mailto:francemaritz@aol.com\">@aol.com<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another beautiful email I thought of sharing with all at WHISNews21, this time my wife Cathy forwarded it to me from her Computer right next to me in the\u00a0same room as me.
