At birth we board a train and meet our parents. We believe they will always travel by our side. However, at some station, our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on the journey alone.
As time goes by, other people will board the train, and they will be significant – siblings, friends, the love of your life, children and many others. Some will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed that we won’t realize they vacated their seats.
The train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes and farewells. A successful ride required having a good relationship with all passengers. We must give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is, we do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive and offer the best of who we are. It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty, we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
We wish you a joyful journey on the train of life. Recap success and give lots of love. More importantly, thank God for the journey.
Lastly, we thank you for being one of the passengers on our train to fight Diabetes.
