At birth, we get on the train and meet our parents.
We believe they will always travel with us.
However, at one station, our Parents will get off the train, leaving us alone to continue our journey.
As time goes by, more people get on the train.
And they will be important for us: our siblings, our friends, our children, even the love of our life.
Many will resign (even eventually the love of our life), and leave a more or less big void.
Others will be so discreet that we won’t even realize that they have left their seats.
This train journey will be full of joys, sorrows, expectations, goodbyes, welcome back and farewells.
Success is, to have a good relationships with all passengers and to give our best.
We don’t know which station we will get off at, so let’s live happily, love and forgive.
It is important to do this because when we get off the train, it is nice just to leave fond memories for those who will continue their journey.
Let us be happy with what we have and thank heaven for this fantastic journey.
