Last night i was watching life transformers 2. They visited this family, and the living conditions were quite bad, with a torn and tattered sofa, fleas and lice all over the bedroom and blood stains on the bedsheets. Their kitchen only had one wash basin, which has to double up as a sink.

The father had heart disease, blocked arteries and others, while the mother had a slight mental illness due to untreated post-natal depression. They have an 11-year-old boy. The father does odd jobs, and due to his illness, not many are willing to offer him a job. The hello kitty stickers all around the house actually belongs to the mother.

The son was really very understanding towards his parents. He never asked for anything more than a football, which his parents cannot even afford. His dad once told him, "When i die, i want you to scatter my ashes into the sea." But his son replied, "No, i will keep it at home." His son got quite frightened after his dad told him that, and he didn't have friends in school to tell to, much less a role model in the house to guide him along. He has always faced his problems alone, silently, unwilling to bother his parents because his parents are already fraught with their own problems.

Mrs Low, the mother, said that she loves her husband alot. And although she has a mentality of a child, Mr Low still stuck by her and always give her kisses and cajoles her. The promise of love between them is so transparent, yet so strong.

When we love someone, we must accept the person with all the faults. Is love blind? No, love is all about knowing to love the person, the whole package. It really makes you wonder if you can find someone you can truly spend all eternity with, and to love wholeheartedly come what may.

"Love is simple. Love doesn't complain."

I think this is something that we all need to constantly remind ourselves. Appreciate the ones you love most, because they won't be there forever.
