Everlasting Love One fine day, an old couple around
the age of 70, walks into a lawyer's office. Apparently,
they are there to file a divorce. Lawyer was very
puzzled, after having a chat with them, he got their
story.... This couple had been quarreling all their 40
over yrs of marriage nothing ever seems to go right. They hang on because of their children, afraid that it
might affect their up-bringing. Now, all their children
have already grown up, have their own family, there's
nothing else the old couple have to worry about, all
they wanted is to lead their own life free from all these
years of unhappiness from their marriage, so both agree on a divorce.... Lawyer was having a hard time
trying to get the papers done, because he felt that
after 40 yrs of marriage at the age of 70, he couldn't
understand why the old couple would still want a
divorce.. While they were signing the papers, the wife
told the husband.. "I really love u, but I really cant carry on anymore, I'm sorry.." "Its o.k, I understand.."
said the husband. Looking at this, the lawyer
suggested a dinner together, just 3 of them,wife
thought, why not, since they are still gonna be
friends.. At the dining table, there was a silence of
awkwardness. The first dish was roasted chicken, immediately, the old man took the drumstick for the
old lady.."take this, its your favorite.." Looking at this,
the lawyer thought maybe theres still a chance, but
the wife was frowning when she answer.." This is
always the problem, you always think so highly of
yourself, never thought about how I feel, don't you know that I hate drumsticks?" Little did she know
that, over the years, the husband have been trying all
ways to please her, little did she know that
drumsticks was the husband's favorite. Little did he
know that she never thought he understand her at all,
little did he know that she hates drumsticks even though all he wants is the best for her. That night,
both of them couldn't sleep, toss and turn, toss and
turn...after hours, the old man couldn't take it
anymore, he knows that he still loves her, and he
can't carry on life without her, he wants her back, he
wants to tell her, he is sorry, he wanted to tell her "I love you"... He picks up the phone, starting dialing her
number....ringing never stops..he never stops
dialing.... On the other side, she was sad, she
couldn't understand how come after all these years,
he still doesn't understand her at all, she loves him a
lot, but she just cant take it anymore....phone's ringing, she refuses to answer knowing that its
him..."whats the point of talking now that its over...I
have ask for it and now I wanna keep it this way, if
not I will lose face.."she thought...still ringing...she
have decided to pull out the cord... Little did she
remember, he has heart problems... The next day, she received news that he had passed away...she
rushed down to his apartment, saw his body, lying on
the couch still holding on to the phone...he had a
heart attack when he was still trying to get through her
phone line.... As sad as she could be...she will have
to clear his belongings...when she was looking through the drawers, she saw this insurance policy,
dated from the day they got married, with the
beneficiary being her... And together in those file,
there was this note... "To my dearest wife, by the
time you're reading this, I'm sure I'm no longer around,
I bought this policy for you, though the amount is only $100k, I hope it will be able to help me continue my
promise that I have made when we got married, I
might not be around anymore, I want this amount of
money to continue taking care of you, just like the
way I will if I could have live longer. I want you to
know I will always be around, by your side... I love you" Tears flowed like river...... "When you love
someone, let them know... You never know what will
happen the next minute.... Learn to build a life
together.. Learn to love each other. For who they are..
not what they are..."
