Stories with meaning

Well, I just finished reading these stories that found me somehow, and I have decided to share it with you all. Perhaps, when you finish reading it too, you will have a better understanding of why things happen the way they do. At least it gives a person something to believe, even though it might not be that way. The first story for example, makes somebody think that there is a reason behind everything and that people make decisions that they would have never wanted to do. They do it just so that the other person won't feel it that much when they get to know the real reason.

ONCE TRUE LOVE

There was once this guy who is very much in love
with his girl. This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces
of paper cranes as a gift to his girl.

Although, at that time he was just a small fry in
his company, his future didn ' t seem too bright,
they were very happy together. Until one day, his
girl told him she was going to Paris and will never
come back. She also told him that she cannot
visualize any future for the both of them, so they
went their own ways there and then...

Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained
his confide nce, he worked hard day and night,
slogging his body and mind just to make something
out of himself.

Finally with all the hard work and the help of
friends, this guy had set up his own company ..

You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day,
while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple
sharing an umbrella in the rain walking to some
destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still
drenched. It didn ' t take him long to realize they
were his girl ' s parents.

With a heart in getting back at them, he drove
slowly beside the couple, wanting them to spot him
in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to know that he
wasn ' t the same any more; he had his own company,
car, condo, etc. He made it! What he saw next
confused him, the couple was
walking towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his
car and followed...and he saw his girl, a photograph
of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her
tombstone and he saw his paper cranes right beside
her...

Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had
happened. They explained, she did not leave for
France at all. She was ill with cancer. She had
believed that he will make it someday, but she did
not want to be his obstacle... therefore she had
chosen to leave him. Just because someone doesn ' t
love you the way you wa nt them to, doesn ' t mean
they don ' t love you with all they have. She had
wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside
her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him
to her again...he can take some of those back with
him...

Once you have loved, you will always love. For
what's in your mind may escape but what's in your
heart will remain forever.

The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is
to be sitting
right beside her knowing you can't have her, see her
or be with her ever again....... ..hope you
understand.

Find time to realize that there is one person who
means so much to you, for you might wake up one
morning losing that person who you thought meant
nothing to you.

KINDNESS Pays !

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door
to door to pay his way through school, found he had
only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He
decided he would ask for a meal at the next house.
However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman
opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a
drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so
brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it
slowly, and then asked, 'How much do I owe you?'

'You don't owe me anything,' she replied 'Mother has
taught us never to accept payment for a kindness.'
He said... 'Then I thank you from my heart.'

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt
stronger
physically, but his faith in God and man was strong
also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Years later that young woman became critically ill.
The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent
her to the big city, where they called in
specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard
Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he
heard the name of the town she came from, a strange
light filled his eyes.
Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the
hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor's gown
he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He
went back to the consultation room determined to do
his best to save her life. From that day he gave
special attention to the case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly
requested the
business office to pass the final bill to him for
approval. He looked
at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill
was sent to her room.
She feared to open it, for she was sure it would
take the rest of her life to pay for it all.
Finally, she looked, and something caught ;
her attention on the side as She read these
words.....

'Paid in full with one glass of milk.' (Signed) Dr.
Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart
prayed: 'Thank You,
GOD, that Your love has spread abroad through human
hearts and hands.'
