One more ordinary day

I was watching oprah on my saturday morning. I have to admit, my eyes was drowning with tears while watching that show. Oprah discussed, about a tv show that is based on book "one more day". I could not remember the author's name,but i clearly remember, what oprah discussed in the whole show.
"if u have a chance to have one more day to spend, with someone, who will it that be?"
.. I know my answer, it would be with my dad who has pass away 4 years ago. I will spend it not in a fancy way, but juz as ordinary day, like i used to have with him. Eat gado2 at menteng, go to some bookstore,wait for him at his campus while he give a lecture, it was so ordinary. At that time, i dont put that ordinary day as on my extraordinary agenda. I juz put it as a regular day, not give an enough appreciation on the day that i have with him. That today, i juz realizing,it was my beautiful ordinary day with my dad.
I guess most people (including me!) not give an appropriate apreciation to the ordinary that we have on each day. We got traffic every morning, listening the same radio station everyday, pick up ur spouse at their workplace, or take ur niece to the mall,etc, we put it juz as an ordinary day but not an extraordinary one (i did too). In the other hand, watch ur favorite music concert, or to go to some fancy place to spend ur holiday, it was ur extraordinary day.If, there are no sparkle or extravaganza event on it, it juz an ordinary one.
It so true, we are realizing how precious is someone or some ordinary day that we have, when it is already gone. We started to miss our ordinary day, when we dont have it anymore in our life.That thought, made me more appreciate, what i have today, the ordinary one with my luv one (family en frenz), eventhough some of my beautiful ordinary day has gone (incl. What happened in this past two month), but i still felt grateful with what i have today which is "my ordinary day"
