Let us begin this Monday on an emotional note. Today I am going to tell you five short stories that are so emotional that they will make you cry immediately.
No, I do not want you to cry. I just want you to appreciate the valuable relationships we all have in our lives.
After you finish reading, whichever stories or whichever relationships in it bring tears to your eyes, make sure you either call them or text them telling them that you love them! That is all I want for today.

1. The Hardest Bullets
She moved her delicate fingers across his medals clad chest as she bade him goodbye.
Unsure if he would see her again, he planted a kiss on her forehead and turned abruptly towards the door.
No bullets had him hit so hard as much as his daughters tears.

2. The Kiss

Getting late for a meeting, need to run’, he said, as he slung his coat over the shoulder, and bounded out of the house. As he drove away, she came running down the stairs two at a time. ‘Wait, wait’, she said, but he had already left.
Her mouth crumpled like used wrapping paper. ‘He forgot to give me a goodbye kiss’, she whispered in a voice that trembled under the weight of her hurt. She called him, ‘you left without giving me a kiss’, she said accusingly. ‘I am sorry sweetheart’, he said, his voice contrite. ‘It is okay’, she said, trying to be all grown up as she cut the call.
She gulped down her breakfast morosely, wore her shoes, picked up her school bag and started to walk out of the door, her shoulders slumped. As she climbed down the steps, the car glided to a stop outside the house. He got out of the car. She ran to him, her whole face lit up like a Christmas tree.
‘I am sorry I forgot’, he said, as he picked her up and hugged her. She said nothing. Her jaw ached from smiling.
Fifteen years later, no one would remember he was late for a meeting, but a little girl would never ever forget that her father drove all the way back home just to kiss her goodbye!

3. Lesson For Everyone
A son took his old father to a restaurant for an evening dinner. Father being very old and weak, while eating, dropped food on his shirt and trousers. Others diners watched him in disgust while his son was calm.
After he finished eating, his son who was not at all embarrassed, quietly took him to the wash room, wiped the food particles, removed the stains, combed his hair and fitted his spectacles firmly. When they came out, the entire restaurant was watching them in dead silence, not able to grasp how someone could embarrass themselves publicly like that.
The son settled the bill and started walking out with his father.
At that time, an old man amongst the diners called out to the son and asked him, “Don’t you think you have left something behind?”.
The son replied, “No sir, I haven’t”.
The old man retorted, “Yes, you have! You left a lesson for every son and hope for every father“.

4. The Sweeter Apple
A lovely little girl was holding two apples in her hands.
Her mom came in and softly asked her little daughter with a smile, “My sweetie, could you give your mom one of your two apples?”
The girl looked up at her mom for some seconds, then she suddenly took a quick bite on one apple, and then quickly on the other.
The mom felt the smile on her face freeze. She tried hard not to reveal her disappointment.
Then the little girl handed one of her bitten apples to her mom, and said, “Mommy, here you are. This is the sweeter one.”

5. Without Your Love, I Would Die

One day a boy and a girl were driving home after watching a movie. The boy sensed there was something wrong because of the painful silence they shared between them that night.
The girl then asked the boy to pull over because she wanted to talk. She told him that her feelings had changed and that it was time to move on.
A silent tear slid down his cheek as he slowly reached out to his pocket and passed her a folded note.
At that moment, a drunk driver was speeding down that very same street. He severed right into the car killing the boy.
Miraculously, the girl survived. Remembering the note later, she unfolded it and read,

Loved all the 5 stories. All of them depict the same emotion "Love" but each in a different way. Having a loved one is the biggest treasure! I dont even want to get into that fear of losing any of my loved ones or not being able to say them I love You. Awesome start to the week Surabhi!!
BTW, I LOVE what you write 🙂
Hugsss,
Anitha.
Oh yeah! We must. And the first two make me so emotional.. 🙁
I can totally understand that Anitha. I have those fears too. And thank you soooo much for loving my work. Means a lotttt… really.
The last one killed my heart so damn sad.

I loved all of these beautiful little tales of love especially the first one that poignantly speaks of father daughter relationship. Yes, a kiss, a parting word, a hug can make your day. Your drooping spirits perk up atonce when you have that reassurance that you are loved the same.

So glad you liked them Purnisha. Thanks for being here with me.
Hi Surabhi! 🙂 Thanks for sharing these beautiful stories–they really tug at the heart. 🙂 Do you personally know the author of "The Kiss"? I'd like to ask permission to use it for a lesson I'm writing for grade 3 pupils. 🙂
Hi Pia, I tried to find the source but sorry couldn't. It mentioned Shefali Vaidya from where I picked it up. Sorry. The story is widely circulated on internet without mentioning the source. 🙁
feeling so loved after reading this..looking forward to more of your posts..
Glad to know you liked it. 🙂
First of all thank you for sharing such beautiful and heart touching stories. There is something to learn in every story which inspires us in our day to day life. Keep posting 🙏
Thanks Shivu. I am glad you liked it. 🙂
Hey surabhi….your stories really made everyone here cry, i also have someone whom i want to say i love you ….but cant say. People who are able to confess it they are really very lucky……anyways all of the stories are heart touching 🙂
Hey Dear, I have been in that situation when I wanted to express my feelings to somebody but didn't. And I learnt that in such situations, you have two ways – either say it and then dont care about his/her response OR just don't say it and move on. I hope you find a way out soon. Hugs.
Great stories ever read, heard.
