Life Together....

One
fine day, an old couple around the age of 70, walks into a lawyer's office.
Apparently, they are there to file a divorce.

Lawyer was very puzzled, after having a chat with them, he got their
story....This couple had been quarreling all their 40 over yrs of marriage
nothing ever seems to go right.

They hang on because of their children, afraid that it might affect their
up-bringing. Now, all their children have already grown up, have their own
family, there's nothing else the old couple have to worry about, all they
wanted is to lead their own life free from all these years of unhappiness from
their marriage, so both agree on a divorce....

Lawyer was having a hard time trying to get the papers done, because he felt
that after 40 yrs of marriage at the age of 70, he couldn't understand why the
old couple would still want a divorce..

While they were signing the papers, the wife told the husband..

"I really love u, but i really cant carry on anymore, I'm sorry.."

"Its o.k, i understand.. " said the husband. Looking at this, the
lawyer suggested a dinner together, just 3 of them,wife thought, why not, since
they are still gonna be friends..

At the dining table, there was a silence of awkwardness.

The first dish was roasted chicken, immediately, the old man took the drumstick
for the old lady.."take this, its your favorite.."

Looking at this, the lawyer thought maybe there is still a chance, but the wife
was frowning when she answer.."

This is always the problem, you always think so highly of yourself, never
thought about how I feel, don't you know that i hate drumsticks?"

Little did she know that, over the years, the husband have been trying all ways
to please her, little did she know that drumsticks was the husband's favorite.
Little did he know that she never thought he understand her at all, little did
he know that she hates drumsticks even though all he wants is the best for her.

That night, both of them couldn't sleep, toss and turn, toss and turn...after
hours, the old man couldn't take it anymore, he knows that he still loves her,
and he cant carry on life without her, he wants her back, he wants to tell her,
he is sorry, he wanted to tell her "i love you"...

He picks up the phone, starting dialing her number....ringing never stops..he
never stop dialing....

On the other side, she was sad, she couldn’t understand how come after all
these years, he still doesn't understand her at all, she loves him a lot, but
she just cant take it anymore....phone' s ringing, she refuses to answer
knowing that its him..."whats the point of talking now that its over...i
have ask for it and now i wanna keep it this way, if not i will lose
face.."she thought...still ringing...she have decided to pull out the
cord...

Little did she remember, he have heart problems...

The next day, she received news that he had passed away...she rushed down to
his apartment, saw his body, lying on the couch still holding on to the
phone...he had a heart attack when he was still trying to get through her phone
line....

As sad as she could be...she will have to clear his belongings.. .when she was
looking thru the drawers, she saw this insurance policy, dated from the day
they got married, with the beneficiary being her... And together in those file,
there was this note...

"To my dearest wife, by the time you're reading this, I'm sure I'm no
longer around, I bought this policy for you, though the amount is only $100k, I
hope it will be able to help me continue my promise that i have made when we
got married, I might not be around anymore, I want this amount of money to
continue taking care of you, just like the way I will if I could have live
longer. I want you to know I will always be around, by your side... " I LOVE YOU SWEET HEART"

Tears
flowed like river......



"When
you love someone, let them know... You never know what will happen the next
minute.... Learn to build a life together.. Learn to love each other. For who
they are.. not what they are..."
