00:00While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground.
00:04That's my son over there, she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide.
00:09He's a fine-looking boy, the man said.
00:12That's my daughter on the bike in the white dress.
00:14Then looking at his watch, he called to his daughter.
00:16Ready to go, Melissa? Melissa pleaded.
00:18Just five more minutes, Dad. Please, just five more minutes.
00:22The man nodded and Melissa continued to ride her loved bike.
00:25Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his daughter.
00:28Time to go now? Again, Melissa pleaded.
00:31Five more minutes, Dad.
00:32The man smiled and said, OK.
00:34Sir, you certainly are a patient father.
00:36The woman responded.
00:38Heartbroken, he answered.
00:39Her older brother, Tommy, was killed by a drunk driver last year while he was riding his bike near here.
00:44I never spent much time with Tommy, and now I'd give anything for just five more minutes with him.
00:49I've vowed not to make the same mistake with Melissa.
00:51She thinks she has five more minutes to ride her bike.
00:53The truth is, I get five more minutes to watch her play.
