The train of the life

At birth, we get on the train and meet our parents. And we think they're always going to sleep with us.

Yet, at a station, our parents will walk from the train, leaving us alone to continue the journey...

As time goes by, other people get on the train.

And they will be important: our siblings, our friends, our children, even the love of our life.

Many will (even possibly the love of our life), and will leave a void more or less big.

Others will be so discreet that we won't realize they've left their seats.

This train journey will be full of joys, sorrows, expectations, good morning, byes and farewell.

Success is to have good relationships with all passengers as long as we give the best of ourselves.

We don't know which station we are at, so let's live happy, love and forgive.

It is important to do so because when we get off the train, we will only have to leave beautiful memories to those who will continue their journey.

Let's be happy with what we have and thank the sky for this fantastic journey. Also, thank you for being one of the passengers on my train.

And if i have to go down to the next station, I'm glad I've come a long way with you.
