After reading zen's post about LDR- long distance relationship, I feel that I should share this touching story with everyone. In the 70's, there was this man, L, living in a small town called Bintangor (known as Binatang until 90's- that's why I'm so pissed with my birth certificate saying 'tempat lahir - BINATANG') who had 2 leave his gf, W, 2 further his studies in KL. LDR started then. L's studying, W's working. They really loved each other.No sms, no email, no phone calls; only letters. W earned very little. She only managed 2 keep RM30 for herself every month after giving most of the pay to her parents. She decided to save RM10 every month to help L in KL n gave him a surprise, meaning less food n less stuff for herself. Determination allowed her 2 keep RM30 after 3 months. Happily, she posted the money she saved by starving herself to him by air mail. Months went by but he didn't receive it. It's gone.Stolen, perhaps. She broke down n cried...blaming herself for being stupid to send thru air mail, knowing that it's not safe at all - most of the postmen were thieves at that time. He was so touched. It's the thought that counts. 2 years went by. He came home realising that his father had passed away when he was away. Everything had changed, except the love between L & W. They survived LDR for 2 years. And they live happily ever after.....YES,they're my parents! Probably you will be surprised that for the 1st time I dun swear in my blog, rather than being impressed by how this love survived such a test. It's a simple story but it really touches me deeply even until now. I'm willing 2 share something private like this becoz i'm willing to give you face. So friends, pls be impressed.
