There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. This
romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl.
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,
his
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 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 some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched.
It
didn’t take him long to realize they were his 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 his 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 wa nt 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.
KINDNESS Pays !
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his
way
through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was
hungry.
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost
his
nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he
asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought
him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How
much
do I owe you?”
“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied “Mother has taught us never to
accept payment for a kindness.” He said… “Then I thank you from my
heart.”
As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt; stronger physically,
but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give
up
and quit.
Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors
were
baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in
specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in
for
the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a
strange light filled his eyes.
Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor’s gown he we nt in to see her. He recognized her
at
once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best
to
save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the
business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked
at
it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.
She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her
life
to pay for it all. Finally, she looked, and something caught; her
attention on the side as She read these words…..
“Paid in full with one glass of milk.” (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: “Thank You,
GOD,
that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands.”
