No Greater Love

It was a quiet morning in Korea. In a small valley,
there was a little wooden building with a corrugated
steel roof. It was an orphanage that housed many
young children who had lost their parents in the
war.

Suddenly, the quiet of the morning was shattered
when a mortar shell fell and landed squarely on top
of
the orphanage. The roof was ripped apart by the
blast
and pieces of steel roofing were blasted all through
the orphanage wounding many of the children. One
little girl was hit in the leg by the flying metal and
her
leg was immediately amputated just below her
knee.
She was laying in the rubble of the orphanage
quietly
when they found her. A tourniquet was
immediately
applied and a runner was sent to the MASH
hospital to
fetch medical help for the children.

When the doctors and nurses arrived, they begin
to
triage the wounded children. When the doctor saw
the
little girl, he realized that her greatest need at the
moment was blood. He immediately called for
records
from the orphanage to find someone with her blood
type. A nurse who could read and speak Korean
began to call out the names of all the children with
the
same blood type as the little girl. After a few
minutes
there was a group of wide eyed children
assembled.
The doctor spoke to the group and the nurse
translated, "Would one of you be willing to give this
little girl your blood?" The children looked shocked,
but no one said a word. Again the doctor
pleaded, "Please will one of you give her your
blood,
because if you dont, she is going to die!" Finally a
boy in the back raised his hand and the nurse laid
him down on a bed to prepare him for the taking of
his blood.

When the nurse ask for his arm in order to sterilize
the skin, the boy began to whimper. "Relax", she
said, "It wont hurt." When the doctor took his arm
and inserted the needle, he began to cry. "Does it
hurt?", the doctor asked. But the boy only cried
louder. "Im hurting him!", the doctor thought and he
tried to ease his pain and comfort him, but to no
avail.
Finally, after what seemed like a long time, the
blood
was drawn and the needle was removed. The little
boy
just laid and sobbed for a few minutes.

After the blood was given to the wounded girl and
her
condition was stabilized, the doctor was curious.
He
took the Korean speaking nurse back over to the
little
boy and told the nurse to ask him, "Did it hurt?"

The boy said, "No, it did not hurt."

"Then why were you crying?", the doctor asked.

"Because I was afraid of dying", the boy said. The
doctor was stunned! "Why did you think you would
die?" With tears in his eyes the boy
replied, "Because I thought that in order to save
her
you would have to take all of my blood!" The doctor
didnt know what to say! Then he asked, "But if you
thought that you were going to die, why did you
offer
to give her your blood?" With tears streaming down
his face, he said, "Because she was my friend and
I
loved her!"

if a girl cries in front of u,
it means that she couldnt take
it anymore.
If u take her hand,
she would stay with u for the rest of ur life;
If u let her go, she couldnt go back to
being
herself anymore.

A gal wont cry easily,
except in front of the person whom she
loves
the
most,
she becomes weak.

A gal wont cry easily,
only when she love u the most,
she put down her ego.

Guys, if a gal cries bcoz of u,
please hold her hands firmly,
coz she's the one who is willing to stay
with u 4
for the
rest
of ur life.

Guys, if a gal cries bcoz of u,
please dont give her up,
maybe bcoz of ur decision,
u ruin her life.

When she cry rite in front of u,
When she cry bcoz of u,
Look into her eyes,
Can u see n feel the pain n hurt she's
feeling?
Think.
Which other girl have cried with pure
sincerity,
In front of u,
And bcoz of u?

She cries not because she is weak,
She cries not bcoz she wants sympathy or
pity,
She cries,
Because crying silently is no longer
possible,
the pain, hurt n agony have bcome too
big a
burden to be
kept inside.

Guys,
Think about it,
If a gal cry her heart out to u,
And all because of u,
Its time to look back on wat u have done,
Only u will know the answer to it.

Do consider it,
Coz one day,
It may b too late for regrets,
It may b too late to say "im sorry".

Jin and I are best frens..we do anything
that best frens do together...One day, i realised
that i actually fell for
him...so i decided to confess to him
one nite where we camped with other frens. he
readily agreed to be my Boyfren...

Soon we started doing the usual stuffs that
couples
do, watching movies, having strolls in park, eating
together, going
to the beach...but life was not as fun when we are
still best fren....we're not as close as we used to
be when we're still best frens...he doesnt tok much
or continued sharing his problems with mi...and so
i tot he is not a suitable or loving boyfren...but i
quietly kept this on my mind...

But since the day he became my boyfren, i would
always recieve a small teddy
bear frm him... At first i thought it was lovely, but
then i
wondered why he would give me this...

One day, i was walking alone in the park we both
frequent...Then i
saw Jin together with another gal there..I crept
near
them softly overheard him saying "i love u' to the
gurl. I was enraged that i run home
immediately..Jin never said he love me all the while
when wer'e boyfren and
gurlfren.

Then at midnite one day, he came to my
house and passed me another
teddy bear that he used to give me everyday, then
said "Sorry, i forgotten to giv this to you today." his
presence only made mi even more angry so i
shouted at him, "Why u alwiz giv me
this crap? All i wan to hear from u is, I love you,
that's it, izit too hard???"

Jin kept quiet. He took my hand and place the
teddy bear on my palm and left..i threw
the teddy bear into my wardrobe.

The next day, Jin asked me out. We met at e
bus stop near my house...he handed mi a big
teddy bear but i threw the teddy to the middle of
the road as i still couldnt get over e incident. He
remained quiet and went to pick up the teddy. He
didnt realised a truck was coming towards him. I
shouted repeatedly to warn him but he just turned
back and smiled at
me,and...........................

*Bang*.
"JIN!!!!!!" I cried...the nex minute i know, he was
lying
on the road, the teddy in his hands covered with
blood. He was sent to
the hospital but in the end...i still lost him...i've lost
him FOREVER...
after attending his funeral, i went back home
and took out all the teddy bears he gav me since
the day we bcame gfbf...i counted the teddies one
by one... 1...2....3...101...230....300..364...and the
last teddy bear he gave me covered with his blood
was the 365th...it has alreadly been a year we
bcome
bfgf...i squeezed the teddy as my tears
flowed....suddenly...

*I love you~*
*I love you~*
i was shocked..i looked at the teddies...took
one of it, and pressed its tummy..

*I love you~*

i tried each and every teddy he gav me...

*I love you~*
*I love you~*
*I love you~*
*I love you~*
*I love you~*
*I love you~*......................

and the biggest was the last teddy Jin
gav me, I squeezed his big tummy...

*felicia, today is our very first anniversary.....i hope
to love you,
today, tommoro, the day after
and forever........I love you....*

i dropped the teddy........ i never realised that
Jin had actually told me those words..every single
day....till now... i slowly picked up the teddy and
whispered to the teddy's ear..

"i love you too, Jin..and i always did........"
