A forward that I got in my mailbox.
"LOVE STORY U WILL NEVER FORGET "
He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after
her, while he was so normal, nobody paid attention to him.
At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she
was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised.
They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything,
she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, let me go home...
suddenly he asked the waiter: "would you please give me some salt? I'd
like to put it in my coffee."
Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but, still,
he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.
She asked him curiously: why you have this hobby?
He replied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I
liked playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea , just
like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty
coffee, always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my
hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there".
While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched.
That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can
tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares
about home, has responsibility of home..
Then she also started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her
childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, also a beautiful
beginning of their story.
They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets
all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He
was such a good person but she almost missed him!
Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every
beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, then they
were living the happy life...And, every time she made coffee for him,
she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked
it.
After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said: "My
dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life lie. This was the
only lie I said to you---the salty coffee.
Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at that time,
actually I wanted some sugar, but I said salt It was hard for me to
change so I just went ahead. I never thought that could be the start
of our communication!
I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too
afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything..
Now I'm dying, I'm afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don't
like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.. But I have had the
salty coffee for my whole life!
Since I knew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having
you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live
for the second time, still want to know you and have you for my whole
life, even though I have to drink the salty coffee again".
Her tears made the letter totally wet.
Someday, someone asked her: what's the taste of salty coffee? It's
sweet. She replied.
LOVE is...
not to forget but to forgive
not to see but to understand
not to hear but to listen
not to let go but to HOLD ON !!!!
Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

Juz going with the flow of this lop thread.. :P
=====================================================
A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the activities and celebrations. A wonderful time was had by all. The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal: I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage." she offered. "Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together." The husband agreed.
So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that
annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lsts. "I'll start," offered the wife. She took out her list.
It had many items on it. Enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she sarted reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing" the husband replied, "keep reading your list."
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.
"Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists," She said happily.
Quietly the husband stated,
"I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you."
The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and
his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
=====================================================
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous things before us?
I believe that we are happiest when we see and praise the good and try our best to forget the bad. It's true that we should accept the other party for who they are.
Cause isn't who they are in the 1st place that makes us fall in love with them?
Even if u want to change. Change it for yourself, dun feel that you're changing for others cause one day u would feel annoyed n wonder why are u doing all this n this will strain your relationship.
=====================================================
