WH sent this to me with a note that read, "This is a testament to how you have loved me over the years, please do not stop loving me, I love and need you, and always will for the rest of our lives."


Untiring Love

This is a true story that happened in Japan.
In order to renovate the house, someone in Japan tore open the wall. Japanese houses normally have a hollow space between the wooden walls. When tearing down the walls, he found that there was a lizard stuck there because a nail from outside was hammered into one of its feet. He saw this, felt pity, and at the same time he was curious. When he checked the nail, turns out, it was nailed 10 years ago when the house was first built.
What happened?
The lizard had survived in such a position for 10 years! In a dark wall partition for 10 years without moving, it is impossible and mind boggling. Then he wondered how this lizard survived for 10 years without moving a single step--since its foot was nailed!

So he stopped his work and observed the lizard, what it had been doing, and what and how it has been eating. Later, not knowing from where it came, appeared another lizard, with food in its mouth.

Ahh! He was stunned and at the same time, touched deeply. Another lizard had been feeding the stuck one for the past 10 years...


Such love, such a beautiful love! Such love happened with this tiny creature...
What can love do?
It can do wonders!
Love can do miracles!
Just think about it; one lizard had been feeding the other one
untiringly for 10 long years, without giving up hope on its partner.

If a small creature like a lizard can love like this... just imagine how we can love if we try.

Hey there HurtinOne,
That's a beautiful story, and really tugged at my heart.

What tugged even more is your H testament.

How are you feeling now ?

Weaver and TR,

Glad you liked the story, and thank you for taking the time to let me know.

Betrayed,

How am I feeling now? Confused....the pain is still here and sometimes it gets me in the worst kind of way, and I just try to cope. WH does send me cards just about everyday, or he will buy me flowers, take me shopping, but for me those things do not mean much anymore(actually he will give me anything I desire, but what I want most is for him to be faithful to our me/our marriage). That is something money cannot buy, and I have expressed this to him on many occasions, so I guess to some extent I have gotten quite cynical when he sends cards, flowers etc. I keep thinking he does not mean the things he says, for me right now it is what he does, his actions that will show me that he is being sincere. Thank you for thinking of me.

HurtinOne
