Aspects of Love

I came across an article on Saturday's Straits Times. It was a special report on love stories about 8 different couples (9 Feb 08 The Straits Times, Special Report, pS1, "Aspects of Love") There was a particular story that touched me. A handicapped man who lost his right leg plucked up the courage to ask a girl whom he likes to be his girlfriend. Although a handicapped, the guy is a very successful insurance agent who overcame a lot of his disability by knowing how to swim and even travels a lot. The girl said yes but within a year into the relationship, the guy broke off with her, saying their personalities are different and the girlfriend nags too much. But in fact, the guy was not confident of himself and felt he is not good enough for her and worried how people would see the two of them together. The girl was sad. A year later, the girl met an accident and it was just plain instinct that she decided to call him on her phone. The guy reacted immediately and helped her with everything in her insurance claims. Oh, by the way, the guy knew the girl 'cos he was her insurance agent. That's how they met. And then, he apologised to her and they got back together again. Till today, they are still very happy together and even got married. Despite all the obstacles and hardships, this couple managed to weather through everything and depend on each other for love and support. The girl has never mind his disability and the guy overcame his weakness and proved to be strong to her and to himself. I guess love conquers everything...even for the disbeliver...

There are just so many aspects of love. I just finished watching a chapter of Heroes. In this story, Mr Bennet chose to have his memory erased by the Haitian so that Claire can be saved. Realising her father's love for her, Claire hugged him for the last time.......so touching and so sad....but I don't know what happened after that. Stopped at the end of that chapter.....

Anyway I have put up a video clip from the movie Sweeny Todd, called Joanna. My favourite song from the movie. He loves her so much, he wants to steal her... Enjoy! : )
