Forward

I just watched the film named The Painted Veil. The movie tells about a woman whose name is Kitty. Kitty gets married with man named Walter Fane even though she just met him. Their marriage isn't the happiest kind but they still carry on. Kitty and Walter move to Shanghai from London and soon after moving to Shanghai they move to small village deep in China. In this village Walter, as a doctor, tries to take control of the cholera epidemic. Kitty and Walter aren't really happy and Kitty is doing her best to make the marriage work. Walter has lost his confidence in Kitty because she cheated on Walter with man named Charlie. Even though Kitty was madly in love with Charlie he just ignored her when she said that she wanted to divorce Walter and marry Charlie. Tough luck, or maybe not. During their time in the village Kitty and Walter fall in love, for real this time. And then Kitty finds out that she is pregnant, both of them are really happy about it. When Kitty told Walter about her pregnancy Kitty seemed little upset and worried, there wasn't any clear explanation for it but I believe it had something to do with the father of the child. Soon the neighbor village ditch their village and attack the village for no reason at all. Okay there was a reason but they were infected by the cholera. Walter keeps the outside villager in a refugee camp just outside the village. Trying save the refugees Walter get infected, and next morning he dies in his lovely wife's caring care.


The movie ends with the great scene where we see the child of Kitty and Walter who has turned five. We also hear that Kitty has named their child Walter, how ironic. We also see how Kitty shows Charlie that she doesn't give damn about him anymore and Charlie still thinks that he has a chance. No way, playboy.

I didn't tell you about this movie just because it had a great ending but because it had a message within. When someone is bullying and teasing you don't notice them. Just let them say what they want and carry on because how can they tell things about you. They don't know you. How could they know you?! They don't bother knowing you they just tease you all day and then they notice:
"Damn. S/He didn't even see me." They will notice that you can see right through them and they will stop. Remember the thing is not to say anything or do anything just let them be. I know it is hard but you can do it. I.... We believe in you.

Lost

When I heard you were dead
I couldn't even cry
too darn shocked

Guess I didn't expect 
someone as strong as
you
to just 
leave
like that

Now, if only
I'd had some strength myself
Bit of courage too
then maybe
just maybe
I could have shared some with you.

You know
Sometimes I see you in the street
Or think I see you
They often look like you
You should see them
See all your faces everywhere
Your strong back
And in your funeral

Our mother
Must have taken some mass of willpower
to even walk up there and tell them
about the man you were

Your father 
Said he couldn't stand being at the funeral,
but showed up anyway
Looked older than our grandfather that day

 And your little bro, my big bro, he did well
Carrying you down the aisle
Even thought he couldn't see a thing
If a man could drown in tears...

Made our mother sob
A mother crying for her passed son, 
that's not anything anyone should ever have to hear

I don't get it
I don't get it at all
How your skinny little brother didn't buckle
halfway down that aisle
Never seen anyone age quite that fast
Wonder how it must have felt

Don't think I have ever seen it rain so much

Don't worry, though
I will tell him
We all will tell him
Tell your lil' bro not to sink quite as deep
into the ground as you just yet
We will take care of him
We will try
It's up to him

Though
If it were to happen that the lil' boy 
would think of the same way out you did

THIS TIME
we will get there in time
So if it is not too much to ask, please
Please rest 
in peace
We have got you covered
We will tell your bro for you

If he has got time for thoughts like yours,
he might as well do everything he dreamed of first
got nothing to lose
And when he tries all those things,
like you didn't,
he's gonna realize that life
isn't really
all that
bad.

One way or the other
it really is
going to be okay.
We miss you bro, I miss you.
This is to all to those people who have lost their loved ones when they have chosen the blue sky. I know that there isn't one single person who has been forgotten. I am sure that we miss them and remember them in our hearts. Remember it is okay to cry but don't fall into the deep grief, because it is really long way back up. Maybe we will see them one day, but not yet, not just yet. They are not alone but neither are we.
