That is love
Love can change a person, even a whole world. It is a touching story of an old
professor with love. He is a retired professor living a leisurely life with his wife. They
climb up the hill to exercise in the morning. He takes care of some plants or reads
some magazines in the afternoon, and his wife chats with her friends at the coffee
shop. Their only daughter has settled in America. At one night, he felt the mattress
was wet. I t was his wife that bed-wetting. He pushed her but there was no reaction.
He found his wife passed away.
“Please restrain your grief,” a lot of relatives said.
“Thank you, I will,” he replied politely.
However, he arranged everything secretly. He sent all plants to his neighbors, and paid
books back by post. Moreover, he made his will. At full moon night, he turned on the
table lamp and wrote down his last words. There was a bottle of pill in front of him.
He saw his wife’s smile on the bottle. At that moment the telephone rang. He picked
up the receiver, and heard a familiar voice said, “ Father, I am at the airport, I want to
keep you company.” When he heard this word, he awaked suddenly. The end of a
story, the old professor said, “The effective thing to prevent commits suicide not the
culture, the psychologist and the riches but a simple feeling to be loved.” The story
tells us “Cherish you family and friends, and don’t spare show you love.” Love
doesn’t need complicated. It can be a smile, a hug or a greeting. It is such a pure,
simple and sincere thing.
