To realize
The value of a parent: ask someone
Who doesn't have one
To realize the value of ten years:

To realize the value of one year:
Ask a student who has failed a final exam.
To realize the value of nine months:
Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.
To realize the value of one month:
Ask a mother who has given birth to
A premature baby.
To realize the value of one week:
Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of one minute:
Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.
To realize the value of one second:
Ask a person who has survived an accident.
To realize the value of a friend or family member : LOSE ONE :
Time waits for no one.
Treasure every moment you have.
You will treasure it even more when
You can share it with someone special.
