All what remain of her beauty is her shiny light brown eyes and her hopeful smile. Said in soft quiet voice while reposing her head, live the life and enjoy it, make every moment happy, help people and make them happy, be kind to them, forgive and be tolerant. Life is not short at all but it is not long to achieve all what you dream of. I was twenty when I knew it; I still remember that day as if it is yesterday, while I was walking in our neighborhood I saw these miserable faces of old people women and men. All of them were homeless with no place to go and without any source of income, asking for some money to eat by without speaking. You just know it if you look in their eyes. I still remember this sixtieth old man with brown jacket, his eyes filled with tears, wrinkly face, his shouting and walking like crazy although he is not. In the moment when his eye caught me looking to him he just stopped shouting and walked quickly wishing he could disappear. That day I discovered how people suffer without talking. That day I got home with a broken heart, and it was the hardest truth because that day I knew about my heart disease after been carried to hospital.

With fireworks and festival atmosphere said the young man with a happy voice “it was her last words to me, and here we are standing in this place with more than Two Million people celebrating our achievement which is the elimination of homeless and opening this great edifice which will always remain open for those who needs help, let us celebrate”. The voices of joy and happiness get louder. The young man silently left the place and went to her graveyard with white flowers and said with broken voice full of tears  “may your soul rest in peace your dream came true, thanks for teaching me the meaning of life and the value of giving ”.
