Treasure what you have every day

Why you can trust SCMP

My grandmother was very old but healthy. Then one day my mum received a call from my dad. She had a sad look on her face as she talked to my father.

After the conversation, my mum told me: 'Your grandmother has passed away.'

I was so surprised. How could a healthy person die so suddenly? I started to regret that I hadn't cared about my grandmother. I only visited her about four times a year.

But it's too late now - we can't bring her back.

This taught me to treasure friends and family. You don't know what will happen tomorrow so you need to cherish what you have.
