The True Love
He never believed that true love existed.His parents divorced (离婚) when he was young and he didn’t think that true love was able to survive in today’s world.
He was proven wrong.
His grandparents were always supportive to the kids and tried to help them when their parents divorced. He knew they loved each other, he just wasn’t sure it was true love. He had never heard them say, “I love you” or show any affection other than hugging. They had been married for over fifty years and he thought that their true love was gone.
But again he was wrong. His grandfather, Ralph, was struck ill in his junior year of college and he didn’t know how serious it was until he fell and hurt his hip (臀). While in the hospital, the doctors found out a tumor (瘤) in his lungs. They told him that he had lung cancer and due to previous illnesses, they could not operate and he was too weak for chemotherapy (化疗).
It was around Thanksgiving and by Christmas his condition worsened. The cancer spread and in late January his sister away at college too, called him crying and said she was on her way home because the doctors told our family that their grandfather had only a week to live, that by the weekend he would no longer be with them. Their family came in from around the country and stayed next to his side.
It was there he realized that true love does exist today and will survive beyond death. Every night as his grandfather grew more fragile, he would whisper sweet words to grandmother, Madge. The night before he died grandmother was walking out of his room and he said to her “I love you Madgie baby”.
The next morning he received a phone call at work that grandfather had passed during the night. Throughout his short battle with cancer, he realized how much two people can love each other and he realized how much it means to be loved and give love. It is the greatest gift on earth and it lasts beyond life because you never forget your one true love. 他从不相信世上存在真正的爱。
很小的时候他的父母就离婚了,他认为当今世界上真正的爱是不可能存在的。
后来的事实证明,他错了。
父母离婚后,他的祖父母一直支持他和妹妹,并尽力帮助他们。他知道他们相互爱恋着。他只是不能确信那是否是真正的爱。他从未听他们说过“I love you”,除了拥抱外,他们也没爱情的其它表示。他们结婚已经五十多年了,他想他们的真爱早已经烟消云散了。
但是他又错了。大三时,他的祖父病了。他不知道祖父的病情有多严重,直到祖父跌倒,伤了臀部。在医院里,医生发现祖父的肺部有一个肿瘤。医生告诉祖父,他得了肺癌。由于先前的疾病,医生不能给他做手术;他太虚弱,也不能化疗。
事情发生在感恩节前后,到圣诞节时,祖父的病情恶化,癌病毒迅速扩散。一月末,也在外地上大学的妹妹哭着给她打了个电话,说,她在回家的路上,因为医生告诉我们家人我们的祖父只能活一周了,到周末他会离他们而去。他们的家人从全国各地回来,围在他的身边。
就是在祖父身边,他才认识到当今世界上真正的爱确实存在着,并且可以超越死亡。每天晚上,当他的祖父变得越来越虚弱时,他会用甜蜜的话语同他的马奇祖母低声交谈。就在祖父去世前的晚上,当祖母走出他的房间时,祖父对祖母说“I love you,马奇贝贝!”
第二天早晨,上班时他收到一个电话:他的祖父在夜里去世了。在他的祖父与癌症病魔的短暂抗争中,他认识到两位老人相互爱得是多么深,他还认识到被爱和爱意味着什么。这是世界上最伟大的礼物,它将超越生命而永存,因为你永远也不会忘记你的一次真正的爱。 I love you! [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=785267&ptid=439848]3#[/url] [i]kobe[/i] [/b]
