[29.06.2006]
hMmz.. jus rEad thru e newspaper n i come aCross an aRticle tt rEalli touches my heArt.. it aFfecTed me so muCh tt i wld lyk to shAre wiv every1 even tho im realli tirEd now...
tis aRticle is bout a vEry old couple... e wife:98yrs [passed away 98daes ago..] e husbaNd:103yrs [pasSed away 98dAes aft his wife's dEath...] dEy hv been husband n wife for 80 over yrs... n jus laSt yr, dey've jus celebraTed their anniverSary... well... when e wife died, her husband cried very hard.. initially, e grandchildRen wantEd to keep e dEath from him.. dEy lieD to him tt grandma was in e hospital, under checkup.. so she cld nt cum home yeT.. but, sumhow, e grandpa cld sense tt sth has happened to his wife[well, i guess ttz e bonding tis old couple had created betwn themselves in these 80 yrs...] n he inisisteD on going to e hospitAl... e grandchildren had no choice but to tell him e truth.. when e noe e truth, he cld nt accept e faCt.. almost suffocating, he asked his wife,"Why is it tt when u're leaving, u din wait for me?" he cried hard.. very very hArd...
tho he din expressed e pain he's undergoing, he'd look at his wife's photo everydAe... eaCh tYm, he'd touCh her fAce [in e photo] gEntly, wiv teArs rolling down his wrinkleD cheEks.. den he'd aSk his grandchildRen,"Where has yr grandma gone to?" tis happens EVERYDAY, without fail.. he had lost his appetite because of her as well.. he cld nt eAt anyting.. wheneVer he eAts, he'd vomit evting out... his wife must be fEeling v hurT to c him lyk tis... so, finalli, 98 dAEs ltr, he finalli take off e journey to join his loved one in another world.. he died peacefulli... well, their grandchildren, tho will felt sAd for his death, dey were rather glad tt both of dem can finalli b tgt again aFt e tough 98 daEs.. it's realli a stRuggLE to e one aliVe..
how do u feel aFt reading tiS? well, i jus find tis very touching.. upon rEadinG, i omoS cRied.. can u imagine living wiv a person for 80 over yrs n suddenly, tt person leFt u, withouT any noticE... e hse suddenly become so emptY, so quieT, so cold.. e one u lovEd mosT had leFt u aLONE, in tis world....... ttz so huRtful.. now, both of dEm r finalli tgt aGain..
i'Ve owAz doubt e phrase "etErnitY loVe"... now, i'm beginning to belieVe, becos of tis lovinG couple.. dEy provEd to me tt lovE can be fOreVer.. even aFt dEAth... dEy showEd me tt loVE can maKe one losE his dirECtion in lifE... dEy demonstrAted to me tt loVE is a maGic tt can change a person TOTALLI...
why izIt tt all of us haVe to fAce dEAth of our lovEd oneS? it's so painful for us to c our lovEd ones leAving us... it's so lonely to be ALONE in tis world when e one who noeS u BEST is gone... it's so hurTful esp to tink baCk of e pASt when both u n yr lovEd one shaRed e mosT beautiful momeNts in liFe... well, we cant do anyting.. laSt tym, fRens wld ask me,"if one dAe, between u n yr lovEd one, ONLY one MUST die, wld u rather die FIRST or leT yr lovEd one die FIRST?" i hesitaTEd e other tYm... i did not noe.. but now, i can ans u immEdiaTely, w/o tinking... "I'd rather my lovEd one die FIRST... it's realli painful for e one aliVe to caRry on wiv liFe... it's realli a sTruggle..... e mosT traGic n difFicUlt struggle....."
Now, i believed that LOVE can be ETERNAL, can be FOREVER. Really.
