I didn’t go home on the Christmas eve because I was doing my part-time job to earn some money. I worked late that night and felt very tired. I wanted to sleep as soon as I arrived in my dormitory. But my phone was ringing all the time as the Christmas eve was approaching. Most of them are my classmate and friends. At last, I called my mum.
“Why don’t you go home? My dear?” This is the first sentence she said to me when answering my phone.
“I was doing a part-time job.”
Won’t you go home and stay with us on this special occasion? We haven’t see you for a long time, and we miss you very much.”
“Mum, I will go home next time.”
“ If you don’t have money, we can give you. Come back, please.”
My mum wanted me to be with her very much and I can feel the anxiety of her. That night I was sleepless until morning. I moved over my body time and time again. I thought of many things about my family. Suddenly I remembered that my mum has tolled me uncle John has died of cancer a few days ago. He died so young, so hurry that he haven’t enjoy many romantic things in his lifetime. Just like the wind, he has gone silently and peacefully. Life is so weak, so short that we cannot wait to do a thing tomorrow, we must finish everything today. Why? Tomorrow is a new day, but do you know what will happen tomorrow ? You cannot predict everything, even you cannot know when you will leave this world. So what we should do is cherish the time we have. Being with your family and friends is a most happy thing.
The next morning, I handed in my resignation to my boss, he was so surprised and asked me why.
“The reason is simple. There is nothing more important than happiness, including money. So I decided to go home and stay with my family.”
