A Promise Made

We have heard many times of people making promises they never keep. This is not one of them. He made a promise silently to himself to fulfil the last wish a dying man. He knew not how long it would take him that promise to fulfil. However, years went by one after the other. Still he intended that promise to fulfil even if it took a lifetime. Ten years passed and still he remembered always saying to himself in the next he would do it. Finally eleven years after his friend’s death he was able that promise to fulfil. In the fulfilment, he gained himself what he had sought for more years than he cared to remember. It was as if his friend was thanking him. For that promise, he never forgot and kept. This story is true as I am that person who made that promise and fulfilled it not so long ago.
