Unconditional Love

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home from the war. He called his parents from San Francisco.

"Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."

"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."

"There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us."

"I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."

"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."

"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."

At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.

The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable. We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are.

Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little prayer that God will give you the strength you need to accept people as they are, and to help us all be more understanding of those who are different from us!!! There's a miracle called Friendship That dwells in the heart You don't know how it happens Or when it gets started But you know the special lift It always brings And you realize that Friendship Is God's most precious gift! Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

Chobits - Let Me Be With You

Futari ga kitto deaeru you na mahou wo kakete
Ryoute wo sotto kasanete hora hohoemu kara
Hontou no kimochi kizukanai furishite
Totsuzen futari koi ni ochita no

Let Me Be With You
Let Me Be With You
Let Me Be With You
Dakishimetai no

Ima made zutto ienai mama kakushiteta no
Tsuyogatteru sore dake na no mitsukedashite
Machi awase made ato gofun mattete
Sono ato futari koi ni ochita no

Let Me Be With You
Let Me Be With You
Let Me Be With You
Nakitaku naru no

Tsunaida te wo sotto hanasu toki
Fuan ni naru no fuan ni naru no

Let Me Be With You
Let Me Be With You
Let Me Be With You
Dakishimetai no ni
Dakishimetai no ni

Love Does Not Need A Reason...

Lady: Why do you like me..? Why do you love me?


Man: I can't tell the reason.. but I really like you..


Lady: You can't even tell me the reason... how can you say you like me? How can you say you love me?


Man: I really don't know the reason, but I can prove that I love you.


Lady: Proof? No! I want you to tell me the reason. My friend's boyfriend can tell her why he loves her but not you!


Man: Ok..ok!!! Erm... because you are beautiful, because your voice is sweet,because you are caring, because you are loving, because you are thoughtful, because of your smile, because of your every movements..


Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met with an accident and became a vegetable. The Guy then placed a letter by her side, and here is the content:


Dearest,


Because of your sweet voice that I love you...Now can you talk? No! Therefore I cannot love you. Because of your care and concern that I like you.. Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love you. Because of your smile, because of your every movements that I love you.. Now can you smile? Now can you move? No, therefore I cannot love you... If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love you anymore. Do love need a reason? No! Therefore, I still love you... And love doesn't need a reason


" The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, not touched..but are felt in the heart ."

evanescence - imaginary (very beautiful lyrics...)

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear
Of silent nights

Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

[CHORUS:]
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me


I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming monsters
Calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story


If you need to leave the world you live in
Lay your head down and stay a while
Though you may not remember dreaming
Something waits for you to breathe again
