This story is about a seventy-six year old man whose name is Jim Brennan and keeps imagining things which does not exist.He keeps thinking of his ex-girlfriend who was already dead and he even talks to her virtual image which he often see.
A very long time ago,Jim and Ellen were a loving couple.They enjoyed themselves together until Jim met another girl and abandoned Ellen. One year later,he brought the new girl for a holiday,leaving sick Ellen alone,not even saying goodbye to her. When Jim came back, Ellen passed away and there was already no way he could tell Ellen anything anymore.
Jim regretted abandoning Ellen,who was such a nice and loving girl who loved each other. Jim did not cherish Ellen (a great gift),a wonderful girl. After Ellen's death,he regretted whatever he had done and realised he loved her even more than before.Even though Ellen is dead, Jim still feels that Ellen is somewhere near him.
I feel that we should make careful decisions before deciding on anything. We may not be able to pay for whatever wrong we had done in the future,if we happen to miss out something or make a wrong decision.
From this story, I learn that we should treasure whatever we have. Cherish anything around us as whatever we lost may not come back to us again, just like the case of Jim losing Ellen. We should never take things for granted. Regretting after the incident is useless. Thus, we should treasure whatever we have.
