Everafter…..

We see our grandparents grow old together, laughing with us in a family reunion, from a distance sharing the pleasure of a domestic bequest.  We all unconsciously spot the fairytale that they are experiencing and that we whisper in our wits “they’re living happily ever after.”

Hidden inside those façade of bliss were the track of tears that we never saw, the dilemmas that made them worry once upon a time, the villains that they once faced using their swords of patience and understanding, the flame throwing dragons that they crushed using their shields of perseverance.   

But they survived – together. 

They have endured the tribulations that they never imagined happening. 

They crawled to surpass those spiked fences, by holding on to each other, giving a tight grip to ones hand and tolerated the bashes.

They made adversaries and critics swallow all their words, by staying true to themselves and their feelings. 

They have proven that amongst the three things that last in this world, faith, hope and love……

The greatest is love.
