I was angry with my brother last week. He wanted his son to marry his neighbor and I wanted him for my daughter. He knew that both his son and my daughter were in love. Yesterday my daughter told me to meet her. I picked her up at the door of her school. She explained to me about her plan to visit her uncle for an hour.  "Just an hour daddy", she said.

 They say that an hour is a long time in some ways and short in others. You can sit and watch TV or spend one hour talking with friends. You can drive from one town to the other in an hour, take a flight from one country to the other, or wait for your turn at a gas station for fuel. An hour is enough time to visit a relative or a friend. In an hour you can make a decision which changes your entire career.  You can meet someone who might be with you for the rest of your life.  All these thoughts came across my head and she was waiting for me to give her permission to visit her uncle. Indeed life is very strange sometimes. Why did all those ideas come across my head?

Possibly, I was thinking that during that one hour, my daughter could do something to change my brother's mind.
