Love and Sacrifice

There was once this guy who is very much in love with a girl. This 
romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to her.

Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his
future didn't seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until 
one day, the girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come 
back. She also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the 
both of them, so they both went their own ways there and then...

Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his confidence, he 
worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make 
something out of himself.

Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy had
set up his own company ...

You never fail until you stop trying.


 One rainy day, while this guy 
was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain 
walking to somewhere. Even with the umbrella, they were still
drenched. It didn't take him long to realize they were the girl's
parents. 

With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the 
couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them
to know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own company, car,
condo, etc. He made it! What he saw next confused him, the couple was 
walking towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car and
followed...and he saw the girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as
ever at him from her tombstone and he saw his paper cranes right 
beside her... 

Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had happened. They
explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with
cancer. She had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not 
want to be his obstacle... therefore she had chosen to leave him. 
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,
doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. 

She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the day 
comes when fate brings him to her again...he can take some of those 
back with him...

Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind may
escape but what's in your heart will remain forever. 

The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting 
right beside her knowing you can't have her, see her or be with her
ever again.........hope you understand.

 

Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to 
you, for you might wake up one morning losing that person who you 
thought meant nothing to you.
