Once upon a time, there was once a guy who was very much in love with this girl. This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces
of papercranes as a gift to his girl. Although, at
that
time he was just a small executive in his company,
his future
doesn't seemed 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
visualise any future for the both of them, so
let's go their
own ways there and then... heartbroken, the guy
agreed. 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 these hardwork
and with
the help of friends, this guy had set up his own
company..."You never fail until you stop trying." he always

told himself. "I must make it in life!" 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 realise those were his
ex-girlfriend'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 anymore, he had his own company, car, condo,
etc. He
had made it in life! Before the guy can realise, the couple was
walking towards
a cemetary,and he got out of his car and followed
them...and
he saw his ex-girlfriend, a photograph of her
smiling sweetly
as ever at him from her tombstone... and he saw
his precious
papercranes in a bottle placed beside her tomb.
Her parents
saw him. He walked over and asked them why this
had happened.
They explained, she did not leave for France at
all. She
was stricken ill with cancer. In her heart, she
had believed
that he will make it someday, but she did not want
her illness
to be his obstacle ... therefore she had chosen to
leave
him. She had wanted her parents to put his
papercranes beside
her, because, if the day comes when fate brings
him to her
again he can take some of those back with him. The
guy just
wept ...the worst way to miss someone is to be
sitting right
beside them but knowing you can't have them and
will never
see them again.
The End."

A tragic story that perhaps happens only in the movies. At the end of the day, money is money is money but
love
is divine. In our quest for our material wealth,
take time
to make time for our loved ones. There will be a
time when
we have only memories to cling to.
Take this weekend to show our "love" to all that
are close to us.
