There was this story that I just read. After reading the story, I felt like I wanna cry. I felt sorry to the parents of this soldier and salute to that soldier. I could say how this son love his parents to the extent of ending his life just not to be a burden to his parents. Here's the story and hopefully you can learn lesson from it.

During the Vietnam war, a young man was wounded just as his tour of duty was about to end, and he was preparing for his trip home. He called his mother one night to say he’d be home in a few days, and wondered if it would be okay to bring home a friend he’d met in the hospital. The friend, he explained, had lost both legs to land a mine, and had no friends or family, and would otherwise have to stay at the hospital alone. After an awkward pause, the mother said, “Honey, you know how your father is about things like that.” She apologized, and said it wasn’t a good time, and expressed her doubts that she would be able to handle the special needs of the young ma anyway. “That’s okay mom,” her son replied, “I wouldn’t want to put any extra burden on you. I love you. Bye.” A few days later, the mother received a visit from a military representative, reporting the tragic news that her son had been found dead in a motel room, killed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. When the young man’s body arrived home, his mother’s tears turned to uncontrollable sobbing, and her grief inconsolable: she saw that both of her son’s legs were missing—having been blown off by a land mine in combat. We should always be kind and generous in word and deed, even to the point of inconvenience and self-sacrifice. Not only because our Lord expects us to represent Him in that light, after He did so much more for us; but also because we never know how someone else’s life might be impacted by the decisions we make.

"When we stand before the judgment seat of Christ, we will retain only two things of any value: What He gave us, and what we did with what He gave us."

Too often when we fall in love...there are lots of promises. Lots of expectations...lots of happy memories and most importantly, a want for a Happy Ending. But is there such this as a happy ending? Nothing is really certain in this world except change. Changes...it happens everywhere. Especially in the very well-known word LOVE. When I am bored, I usually open you tube and browse for some music that will eventually make me feel at ease. As of this morning while browsing, I watched this video and had watched it until the end. This is entitled "I Didn't Mean to Make You Mine". 

The one who made this video probably lost the one she loves. A love she shared with her lover for a very short time but marks a never ending expectations of happy ending. A happy ending that ended up into a worst nightmare. Yeah! Sometimes, you really have to lost the things you love. Losing someone we love is the worst feeling we could ever feel. I know this feeling because I also once felt it. Losing them is the saddest part and missing them is the worst. You know the feeling of "you feel like you wanna scream out loud and call them", cried a lot of tears but no matter how you scream and how many tears you will be losing, you can't have them back?

When we started up to fall in love we always believe of a happy endings. That the love you feel for each other will never fade. And you really think you really found the right guy. Until one day...everything changes...people and feelings. It hurts when the person who change is the one who used to love you...the one who promised to love you forever. And hearing these words "I don't love you anymore" is the most painful part in falling love. Much more when he has to go and you are not ready to say goodbye and let go. But he has to go!

And what remains of you? Crying the whole night and waking up still remembering those face you used to see. The feelings he used to make you feel. You will have it feel a week, a month or sometimes forever. You remain All alone and lonely. What can you do is the only one who could stop you from hurting is the one who've caused it? And how could you start again if he means everything for you? That he is your world? How was he able to make you fall in love and never had the intention of catching you 'til the end? You wanna hate him...but how can you hate the one you love? What happen to the Happy Ending?
