Love


Love.

Such a profound and mystical feeling. Without it, Mother Earth would be dominated by self-centered creatures who think and act for themselves. Yet... with it, men crave for more and at times, forget the pureness of the feeling and take advantage of it.

Still, this is the invisible string that ties families and friends closely together.

Parents - Humans who yearn to strive hard in life, who are mentally abused by the harsh demand of reality, who shuffle and do the balancing act between work, themselves and children, who rush back in time just to read the final chapter of the bedtime story just to tuck the little ones into slumberland, who work hard to meet their children's needs. But when the little ones decide that maybe one day, they will leave their comfort zone to seek for a wider horizon and their adventures, parents - with much reluctance - will have to let them go.

Unconditional love.

I love my famillly who make tremendous efforts to get along with my new family and likewise, I love my new family who also make such heart-felt contributions. Even in my absence. Nothing means more to me than that. Of course, to my husband, who has to play a dual role to both families. I love you and I thank you.

So, what drives all these acts?

Love.
