I am back!

Greetings. After a few months out of writing, now I’m back. And now I’m so excited to share with you guys on a book I just read.

PS,I Love You.

I finished reading it last month. It was a gift from someone dearly special to me. I've been planning to buy this Cecelia Ahern’s masterpiece quite for a long time but that plan turned out to be just a plan with no action. And, when this special friend of mine told me that she had bought me the book, I was speechless. I studied her face and tried to decide if she was serious. She then handed me the book and there I again, I lost in thought (but now smiling).

Yes, ‘PS, I Love You’ is a love story but take my words when I say that this is no ordinary love story. Ok, let me give you a brief synopsis.

The story is about Holly, a middle-aged widow in Dublin. It’s on how Holly copes with her life when her husband, Gerry, died. Some people might wait their whole lives to find their soul mates. Holly and Gerry didn’t. They were childhood sweethearts. They knew exactly what each other’s loves or hates. They could even finish each other’s sentences.

Their plan had been very simple :- To stay together for the rest of their lives. A plan that anyone within their circle would agree was accomplishable. Nothing can deny them. Except for destiny.

Fate later brought Holly to such an unthinkable situation when the doctor confirmed that a tumor was growing inside Gerry’s brain. What happen next maybe you can guess. Yes, he died.

While Holly was trying to adapt to her new life, suddenly Gerry ‘came’ back to her. He actually left her with a bundle of notes, gently guiding Holly into her new life, and guess what, each note was signed “PS, I Love You’.

The storyline was superb. I learned how does it feel to lose someone we dearly need.

Cecelia also shows how family really matters in each of us. If somehow, sometime, somewhere, you feel like giving up your life and there’s nobody for you to talk to, turn to your family because family will never turn you down.

That’s all..=)

p/s : now I’m reading Mitch Albom’s “for one more day”. This is another his ‘big things’ after “Tuesday with morrie” and “the 5 people you meet in heaven”. See you for “for one more day”…hihi
