Things Come First

In response to Hunter and Chelly,

I also agree that it is not the material things in life that matter. No matter what you have, it is your friends and family that count. When Marji's father was talking to a family friend, the family friend is telling him how much the house costs, and how much they spent on tiles. Marji's father was perfectly fine with what he had. And because he was like this, i think it would not have been AS big of a deal if their house was burned to pieces. All he wanted was to have his family with him, and to make sure that his daughter was safe. To Marji, she knows that she has a full life ahead of her with new experiences, she knows that it will be hard without her father, but she is committed to making these the best years. I was just at the Dallas Stars Hockey game, and it was Mike Modano's last home game. He chose to retire. The one thing that kept him playing for these many years was his family and the supportive fans. he said “Whether its three, four or five seasons that I have left to play, I'm committed to making them great ones.”. Although he knew that they were not going to make it into the playoffs, he still played his hardest, because he knew its what he had to do. This was his priority and it payed off in the long run. GO mike!
