Not Everything You Keep is Holding You Back

There is this story about a man i will like to share with you. And it goes like this:

Every morning, at the same busy bus stop, an old man would arrived carrying not one chair, but two.

And of course, people noticed.

He would set one chair down for himself and place the other carefully, almost lovingly next to his, as if someone important was still coming.

Some people whispered that he was strange. Some looked away. But he kept coming, day after day, never embarrassed by that empty seat.

One morning, a curious little boy finally walked up to him and asked the question everyone else was too afraid to say out loud.

The boy asked, "sir who are you waiting for?"

The old man smiled softly and said, "my wife." Then after a pause, he added. "She died 10 years ago."

The boy became quiet, and the old man explained, "I bring the chair because I do not want her absence to make me forget her presence."

Now, isn't that beautiful?

Sometimes love does not disappear just because a person is gone.

Most times a lasting memory is how the heart keeps saying you mattered.

So remember this: Some people are not stuck in the past. They may be carrying something worth remembering. And not everything you keep is holding you back.
