These five relationships will change the way you feel about love.
If you need to feel inspire to have faith in love again, these five stories sure will-at least-make you said "ooh...aah". In this modern day, we are not short of wonderful and remarkable stories to keep us motivated, marveled, and amazed.
My top five best picked relationships that I have come crossed are below.
If you have not read this story from the news yet, then you should. Not only that I was speechless, and thinking about them for days, I also admired their determination, devoting, and commitment to each other despite living in such seclusion.
Their love story unfold in 2006, won the greatest love story for China, and the world discovered more than 6,000 hand-carved stairs up a mountain from the love of a husband for his wife.
The best relationship does not have to be between two lovers, it can be with brother and sister across the globe and this story is one of those.
After 66 years of not knowing whether or not the other sibling made it alive through the holocaust, the American Red Cross had reunited them. Through years of anxiety, dreaming, and hope, 73 year-old Wssewolod Galezkij, and 83 year-old Irene Famulak is finally together.
His spirit is strong enough to move millions of people over the internet, and his love for his family is so incredible that Diane Sawyer of ABC did a series of interviews on his life, following by Oprah with her special show.
Randy Pausch, a phenomenal professor faces his pancreatic cancer head on. There is no need to feel sorry for him. He would not like that! His courage, his love for life, his love for family will move you to tears, and convince you to look at your own in a different way.
The Last Lecture is an overnight internet sensation, and has helped bringing magic to millions. You have to read the story, and listen to his lecture here.
Keep Randy Pausch and his family in your prayer, close to your heart!
This is a beautiful love story that truly can touch the core of your heart also. This love is between a fireman, and a dog, and there is not much to tell, just a very short story to read if you click on the title or image source.
This picture alone is enough to touch my heart, and change my mind about the canine species.
As wonderful as this story is, love can be found everywhere and with anything. In this case, the relationship begins with a black swan named Petra with a swan paddle boat. She caused quite a stir when she refused to fly south without her partner.
Petra remains faithful to the paddle boat, and waits for her mate's arrival the very next season. She is rather a celebrity herself, since the press was there to capture the moment her paddle boat was returned to the water.
Grab some tissue paper when you are ready to read some of these stories.
A fabulous and touching article. Great stories and superb pictures. Good job!

Aawww... I always wondered if the animals are more loving than us humans, but the first story about the husband and wife from China and the last one about the swan goes to prove that both are equally loving. The husband and this swan, both did something for their partners that is rare. Im touched.

I'm "re-amazed" every time I'm reminded of Randy Pausch's courage. And because I teach "Night" by Elie Wiesel, I'm also inspired to share with my students the story of the brother/sister Holocaust reunion. All of these vignettes are very touching; great collection!

What a truly touching article, thank you for sharing all of these wonderful stories. I had not heard of some of them so it was great to do a little research to read more about them. Well done.

Loved this idea and the ones you chose! Knew of some of them but especially liked the Chinese story as I spent part of my chidhood in Taiwan. Among the Chinese if a woman is older than the man, yes, even by 2 years, they consider him to have married his mother and he is a weak man. "He can't get no respect" might be that poor man's mantra. Lovely story of a love not easy to live in that culture. His wife probably chose not to come down the mountain out of respect for him in the community so that he could "save face." thanks again! ~ d
