against every odd.
It has been a rather interesting day.. Came back from coffee with uncle. Thanks for the encouragement uncle, it was really nice catching up with you.
Was watching a documentary on love just now. Yeah.. Interesting topic but very enlightening and heart-warming. Love exists in every corner of our lives, like it or not. And watching the docu gave me some insight on the magic of love.
Here is a couple, married in the 60s.. Theirs is a classic love story, everything was against them. Both of different races and religions. Her family was dead against it, so was the village she was from. Not just that, she had a mental illness that proved to be a constant testing in their marriage. They had to endure ridicule, torment, objection, suspicion, suicide attempts, miscarriages, any calamity you can think of.
It was heart wrenching to listen to him recount each event and how he felt each time she had a relapse of her illness. But through it all... It was their love and devotion for each other that has enabled them to endure the last 33 years of their marriage and its trials. I couldn't bring myself to finish the docu because it was too hard to. But I know that love of that magnitude will only have a beautiful ending.
Despite every odd, they survived it. Because they love each other.
Looking at their story, I felt so inadequate. My struggles pale in comparison.. Every happy relationship/marriage has a struggle tale to tell.. Even my parents'.. But each and everyone of them will tell you that it was through these tough times that their love for each other grew and strengthened the relationship.
Whoever said love doesn't exist in our lives anymore? It's there... Everywhere... We just have to believe in the magic of it.. I do.. I'm a hopeless romantic...
I fell in love with my best friend and confidante. I fell in love with the man who showed me unconditional love and who showed me that even I, was capable of showing unconditional love. I fell in love with the man who against all the odds, displayed endless patience and sincerity and won me over with that.
Correction, I didn't fall in love. I am in love and no, I'm not embarrassed to admit that. Why should I?
In spite of what has happened.. Do I have any regrets?
No, none at all...
I love you.
