Have you ever wondered what would happen to your parents, friends and other relatives when you pass away? How would they be effected? Will they move on with life or take some drastic measures (if you know what i mean)? Wouldn't it all be a little bit easy if we knew how and when someone is leaving only so that the other party can prepare themselves? Unfortunately, nature does not work that way.
I must admit, I read books very often. Be it a magazine or a novel, I will somehow find the time for it. From all the great books and authors I have come across, I would like to make the novel, PS I Love You, by Cecelia Ahern the highlight of my post. Yes, it is a love story. However, the story is merely all about love and kisses, it has got a slight twist in which most people would not expect unless read. So before I continue, here is a short trailer on the best selling novel, PS I Love You, which eventually turned into a movie. Here is a glimpse of how the movie goes.
So, Holly Kennedy (main character) and her husband, Gerry Kennedy have the perfect married live until Gerry's life is taken by an illness and he passes away. Holly finds it hard to move on with life. It takes the life out of her. The only person who can help her heal is no longer there. Nobody knows Gerry better than Holly. So, before he left, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her grief, but in rediscovering herself also. The first message arrives on Holly's 30 birthday in the form of a cake, and a tape recording from Gerry, who tells her to be herself, that cheerful happy holly she once used to be. In the months that follow, she would open letters from Gerry, each sending her on a whole new journey, from buying a bedside lamp to singing in a talent show (her worse nightmare). Do keep in mind that that these letters are pushing Holly forward, helping her heal and finding back confidence.With Gerry;s words as her guide,Holly embarks on a journey of rediscovery in a story of marriage, friendship and how love so strong can turn the finality of death into a new beginning for life.
From the movie trailer and the short synopsis, you can tell why I am so inspired. Not that I have been in any kind of situation like that but it kind of makes you wonder what it would be like to have someone love you so much until they are willing to guide you through you moment of sorrow, although it would mean troubling them in the end.
Be it a husband- wife relationship or a mother-daughter relationship, it only goes to show that true love does not die. It remains forever and ever, it just depends on how much you trust it, that's all.
This book is definitely a recommendation to all who needs some inspiration. A good read.
