A Love story between a husband and a wife

There is such a love story, which proves the power of love.

She is a teacher of junior school, living with her one year daughter. She hasn’t seen her husband for a long time, because he works at a far station, watching the border for the country.
Summer comes; she can’t wait anymore to see her husband. The same for her husband, he misses them so much, because he has not seen his wife for a year, and he has never seen her new-born daughter.

“How cute she would be, she may look like her mother.” sometimes he would think about that and smile satisfiedly.

Finally, the date comes. He waits outside impatiently. It is said that they will arrive at noon. He waits and waits, and at midnight he sees a shadow waddles closer and closer. Yes, it is his wife. He quickly runs to her and puts his daughter in his arm. She is sleeping quietly and sweetly. The whole family are swallowed in the happiness...

Suddenly, they hear a harsh voice. He quickly goes outside, and finds that everyone is escaping, because a flood has come. The water has been to his waist when he finds his way out. He raises his daughter up; however, a piece of rock is carried along in the water and knocked heavily on his arm. His whole arm loses feeling and lets go his poor daughter. After the flood, they find out their daughter has drowned, and his arm has been injured greatly that it becomes useless. He won’t forgive himself from then on and seldom talk to anyone at all.

She keeps encourage him; however, it does not work.

One day, they go to a park together, where they know each other. She climbs up a rock, where they used to sit and talk when they were young. She jumps down freely, and at that moment, he catches her, firmly as before. She looks up at him in his arm, and says “I know you can do this...”

He is awake suddenly, and he comes to understand what he should do is to value what he has...
