love is love...indeed

Couple years ago, I wrote in one of my blogs a very long love letter written by my sister’s ex- boyfriend. This letter dragged a lot of comments because the question was whether to take the guy back or not. Last 2007, this guy flew all the way from New Jersey to Philippines to propose marriage to my sister but was turned down since my sister was in a relationship and according to her, she had so much anger on him. (The letter below was written that time)

Few months later, my sister’s relationship with her present boyfriend became on the rocks. I don’t know exactly how things turned sour but for me, it was God moving. He heeded my prayers and the whole congregations’ as well. hehe! ( I really prayed so hard for my sister's love life) I’ve seen a lot of men visit my house, bring flowers, chocolates and stuff but none of them ever impressed me. I mean I didn’t see anyone good enough for her. ( feeling ko manager ako ng ate ko! haha) None of them deserved my sister. She hated me for intruding in her personal love life but I’m fine with that coz my intention was good and all I care was for her to be treated well. She has a very beautiful heart and she deserves to be treated like a princess. However, there was only one guy I thought was worth it to have my sister’s love, that's "the ex-bofriend" I'm talking about.

Later on, her relationship with the present guy got worse and worse and they finally broke up. A year later, this "ex-boyfriend" came again together with his parents and with a big and beautiful diamond ring with a dozen basket of red roses and asked for my sister’s hand. Finally, after 10 long years, they’re together again, and got a YES!
P. S.
They’re going to tie the knot next month in Michigan USA.

Here’s an excerpt of that very poignant love letter :

“they say that you regret the things you don't do more than the things you do. I don't want to regret not letting you know how i really feel. so this is why I'm emailing. I don't expect anything in return...all i ask is that u hear me out. I'm not expecting you to give me another chance...God knows...maybe i don't deserve one, but i am hoping for one...and if i am lucky enough to get that chance, i promise you that things would be different. i would NOT make the same mistakes i made. maybe all of this is too little too late...but i don't care. i guess i always thought that in the end, you would be there waiting for me, I'm sorry for being so unfair. love is love, whether it be right in front of you or thousands of miles away in different countries..and who you love, is who you love. you always knew this. i don't know why it took me so long to realize this, i don't know why i kept denying this. it has always been you. You have always been my love. i still look at all our old pictures...and the one that stands out the most is the one in Pansol..me sitting on that ugly blue carpet, and you sitting in that chair, with your arms around me....my Angel's embrace. I can still feel it. i can still feel your soft skin brushing against mine....I can still feel you.Love lead me your way once..... i can only pray it be so kind enough to lead me to you once again.

love is love...indeed
