A simple gesture - Holding Hands

A little girl and her father were crossing a flimsy bridge. The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river."

The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand."

"What's the difference?" asked the puzzled father.

"There's a big difference," replied the little girl. "If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, age, caste, or creed but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person whom you love rather than expecting them to hold yours. A simple initiative and act of courage goes a far long way, and be sure you would be so glad that you took that leap. I did! Now, have you?

P.S. I will always hold your hand and never let go..

P.S.S. And continue to do likewise after half a year, a year, or even after many many years.. Hee..
