Umbrella is what we easily forget and leave behind in our daily life. When the weather is fine, we certainly don’t think of it. Only when it is raining, we’ll carry it purposefully. But as soon as the rain stops, it’s most likely we’ll forget where we’ve put it.
Once I suddenly found my longtime used umbrella ‘disappeared’. I really regretted losing it for my carelessness. Days later, out of my expectation, I saw it quietly stand in a corner of my office. I was extremely glad to regain it. It occurred to me that I just sought for it only when I needed it.
It sets me thinking. I’d appreciate it that around us there is a person giving us support in silence just like an old umbrella.
Who is it that protects you from the rain or any wretched weather Please say thanks to him or her.
