An Hour to Live, An Hour to Love

It really touched my heart when I’m reading this book, “An Hour to Live, An Hour to Love” by Richard Carlson and Kristine Carlson. How touched to have someone who love you so dearly in the heart and express it all in a book? In my own opinion, for that someone who enable to writes those touched story must be having a very pure true love from within.
It is a true love story which “he writes to his beloved wife and the love with which she answers, provide a teaching for all of us: on life, on death and on the existence of a spirit that transcends them both.” – said Marianne Williamson, author of A Return to Love and The Age of Miracles. I agreed with it.
Here are a few words that I found interesting:-
“You will be remembered most, not from your accomplishments in life, but for how well you lived and how much love you carried in your heart.”
“Not to take life for granted, and to be grateful for what we have, treating life as the miracle it truly is.”
It is a simple, ordinary yet nice love story; Touched Love Story.
On the following pages of this book, it have a few pages for you to written down your own answers to the questions, “If you had one hour to live and could make just one phone call, who would it be to, what would you say, and why are you waiting?”
My Answers:-
I wouldn’t make any call if I had one hour to live because it may brings more sadness and grief to that someone or may be when in the line, I could just said those three words. For me to say it more, I would rather leave a note this way;
“No one knows what our future holds and as for the living someday somehow will meets its death. Everything have its beginning and ending.
You showed me love that I couldn’t find or learn from my family and friends.
Ever since I met you, for my life started from a small green garden that then blossoms and filled with colorful and beautiful flowers; as for you had showered them well with warms and loves.
My life is already worthwhile as I had found you, my true happiness, so do I wish you found your own happiness.
We may walk a thousand miles to search for happiness, but sometimes, if we to slow down or stop, happiness will sure catch up and go towards you.
Life always goes on.
So my dear, don’t cry as I’m now going to a place where close to God; who created us and gave us a beautiful life journey to met each other with.
I only have one last wish that I hope you could grant it; which is to promise me to be happy; with the friendly warm smile on yours. Even I’ll miss that smile but I’ve always wanted you to be happy.
For our love, I believe it will be eternal…
“I – love – you.”
