There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl. This 
romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his 
girl.

Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his
future didn't seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until 
one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come 
back. She also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the 
both of them, so they went their own ways there and then...

Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his confidence, he 
worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make 
something out of himself.

Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy had
set up his own company ...

You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day, while this guy 
was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain 
walk ing to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still
drenched. It didn't take him long to realize they were his girl's
parents. 

With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the 
couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them
to know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own company, car,
condo, etc. He made it! What he saw next confused him, the couple was 
walking towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car and
followed...and he saw his girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as
ever at him from her tombstone and he saw his paper cranes right 
beside her... 

Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had happened. They
explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with
cancer. She had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not 
want to be his obstacle... therefore she had chosen to leave him. 
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you wa nt them to,
doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. She had wanted
her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the day 
comes when fate brings him to her again...he can take some of those 
back with him...

Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind may
escape but what's in your heart will remain forever. 

The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting 
right beside her knowing you can't have her, see her or be with her
ever again.........hope you understand.

Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to 
you, for you might wake up one morning losing that person who you 
thought meant nothing to you.




KINDNESS Pays !

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his
way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was
hungry.
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost 
his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal
he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought 
him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How 
much do I owe you?"

"You don't owe me anything," she replied "Mother has taught us never
to accept payment for a kindness." He said... "Then I thank you from 
my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt; stronger
physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been
ready to give up and quit.

Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors 
were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called
in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called 
in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came
from, a strange light filled his eyes.
Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor's gown he we nt in to see her. He recognized her 
at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his 
best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the
case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the
business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked 
at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her
room. 
She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her
life to pay for it all. Finally, she looked, and something caught ; 
her attention on the side as She read these words.....

"Paid in full with one glass of milk." (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, 
GOD, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."
