*ThRee LiTtLe WoRdS*

"The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone."
Harriet Beecher Stowe.


Most people need to hear those Three Little Words. Once in a while,they hear it just in time.
This little story is about someone known to me.I thought of putting it down since I want everyone to realise how important these "Three Little Words" could be to someone.She was a patient of cancer,in her last stage.She was romantic,read romance novels just like most of the other women in the world.She was married for 30 years to a man who often called her "a silly woman."She would still say that her husband loves her but has never been one to say he does.She said that she would give anything if he'd say "I LOVE YOU",but it was just not in his nature.

Certain things like receiving sentimental cards and love letters is the part of a woman's nature.Every woman needs to be reassured by those whom she loves.I believe this is necessary once in a while to rekindle the spark of romance in your life.

Her husband was once asked if he ever said that he loves his wife.He wore a funny expression on his face and replied,"I don't have to,she knows I do."

Though she knew he did but she really needed to hear what she meant to him all those years.
Next day in the hospital I saw her husband leaning up against the wall,staring at the floor.I knew she was no more.She had died that morning.Before she died he told her how much he loved her...and loved being married to her.He was happy because she had smiled on hearing it.Later his face was wet with tears.

I went inside to say my final good-bye to her.There on the bedside table was a large Valentine card from her husband.You know,the sentimental kind that says,"To my wonderful wife.......I LOVE YOU."

It touched even the innermost cord of human warmth in me.It taught me the gift of giving without expecting.No matter what relationship it is once in a while we should say these *THREE LITTLE WORDS*. I am sure they would never hurt anyone.Never take the ones close to you for granted.Make them feel special before it is too late.

"These kind words can be short and easy to speak,but their echoes are truly endless."
Mother Teresa.
