| Book of October! |
Just finished another book this morning titled "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks.
Simple. Nice. Romantic.
This story tells of John Tyree- an angry rebel. Growing up in a single family with his dad. His dad was a man of few words and stick by his routine lifestyle. A dad who doesn't shows his affections at all to a son who so longed for it. His only passion was coin collection and nothing more. They were as different as anything.
Typical family scene and this leads the path to a son who soon live a life of rebel. Not knowing what else to do with his life, he joined the army until he met the girl of his dream - Savannah Lynn Curtis.
Their mutual attractions grows into love. This leaves Savannah vowing to wait for John while he finished his call of duty and John wanting to finish his bond soonest so that he can marry the girl of his dream. Through Savannah, John begins to understand why his dad was a man of few words and emotions. And more so, on his passion for coin collection. Like what she says "The saddest person i have met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all." Through her, he re-connects with his dad.
Yet, 9/11 changes everything. With only 100 days to go before he could leave the service, 9/11 spur him to re-up and the story changes forever.
"Dear John", the letter read. And with these two words, a heart was broken and two lives changes forever.
With Savannah married, John found no other meaning in life and re-upped his service. Until the death of his dad, John returns home and found the courage to visit Savannah - his true love yet a married woman.
Yet, John will discover how love can transform us in ways we never could have imagined.
I like this book and more so the ending which i will not blog about here so that you can buy this book and read till the end. This book has the ability to leave me wanting to read on even after a hectic day of work.
Its amazing to hear people says "I love you" but what does true love really mean?
By loving that person, would you ever hurt her in the name of love?
Or would you wish her happiness.
Doing things that requires your sacrifies yet knowing she will be happy.
I think all these really requires depth.
In any marriage, there is only room enough for 2.
Love and fate may not necessary runs together.
What love has bought about, fate may tear them apart.
Hopefully when cupid strikes, he will bring fate with him as well.
PS: This is the first book i read of Nicholas Sparks and will definitely head off for more of his works.
