Speedy Recovery

This is really touching and every now and then we need to be reminded about crossing the limit. This is about a short story that was sent to me by a good friend. Thought I'd share this with you all.


Sanjay, a rich guy, loved fast cars and he did have a few in his possession. He loved to speed and could not be bothered about breaking speed limits. Many a times he was caught by the cops and speed radars, fined, but still he never bothered until.


One day as he was driving at a very high speed as usual, he saw a cop following him. The cop overtook him finally and asked him to stop and checked his license. He then took out his pad and started Writing, and then handed over the sheet of paper to Sanjay.

How much was this one going to cost?!!!


Wait a minute.


What was this????

 

Some kind of joke? Certainly not a ticket.

 

Sanjay began to read:  

 

"Dear Sanjay,

 

Once upon a time I had a lovely daughter. She was six when killed by a car. You guessed  it - a speeding driver's car. A fine and three months in jail, and the man was free. Free to hug his three daughters. I only had one, and I'm going to have to wait until Heaven, before I can ever hug her again. A thousand times I've tried to forgive that man. A  thousand times I thought I had. Maybe I did, but I need to do it again. Even now. Pray for me.. And be careful, Sanjay, my son is all I have left."


Sanjay turned around in time to see the cop's car pull away and head down the road. He watched until it disappeared. A full 15 minutes later, he too, pulled away and drove  slowly home, praying for forgiveness and hugging a surprised wife and kids when he arrived."

Life is precious. Handle it with care.


Funny how you can send a thousand jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the sanctity of life, people think twice about sharing. Funny, how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you, for sending it to them.
