True love..

Back @ BORDERS today. Continued from pg 111 wher i left off y'day...

"The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom ( Author of BestSeller "Tuesdays with Morrie"). I enjoyed the latter very much. & the other i got my hands on was equally interesting as well.

Almost cried at pg185.. "...life ends, love doesn't...it takes a different form. I've never wanted anyone else but you... " ~words of a man who loved his wife deeply..

Sounds sappy & sad rite? Well, its not really. Its just that part which was very touchin' so i felt for the character. Anyways... i recognized true love in the simple act of a friend who recently came across a stray puppy near her home. She actually took the trouble to pick him up, go all out to buy anti-tick shampoo to get him cleaned and then send him to good hands (animals not allowed in her own home).

Even Dimpy (my black dog @home) was one of that case. My dad has always done this. All my life, I've lived with one animal or another, usually abandoned and picked up from the streets by my Dad.
He'll bring them home, clean them up and look after them like they were his own children. The wounded ones will be nursed till they are strong enough to move on.

Some of the animals he has brought home include birds, ducks, rabbits, chicken & turkey (in adition the the ones we reared at home), he had a monkey called Josephine during his early married days, otter, a baby fox, dogs & of course cats..
i miss him so much... but as it says in the passage, love doesn't die, it takes a different form. I know now that he is looking after all of us from where he is, smiling care-free from all his pain, tending to God's garden the way he's always loved to... i love u anya..
