A Heartwarming Love Story: Love Beyond Life and Death
He had golden hair and a strong build; she had green eyes, gentle and charming. They attended the same high school, and during those tender years of budding love, they became a couple envied by everyone, though it’s forgotten who pursued whom first.
As graduation approached, the school held a grand ball. That night was so beautiful, everyone was reveling and pouring out their hearts.
He held her while dancing, pressing a fervent kiss on her lips, making her heart tremble with excitement. The moonlight was like water, and the oriole sang outside the window. He gave her a ring, saying nothing, but she understood everything.
He left to become a machine gunner in the U.S. Marine Corps. She stayed in their city, receiving his passionate letters every few days.
In his letters, her heart followed his hurried steps to the military camp in San Diego, and then to the front lines of Palau. After a brutal battle, she never received another letter from her boyfriend. She vaguely knew what had happened but refused to accept it.
Seventy years later, she had become a 90-year-old lady. One day, she was invited to visit the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. There, she finally confirmed her suspicions from long ago, as she saw her boyfriend’s belongings — including a thick diary.
She opened the diary, filled with his thoughts and love for her. It was a love letter delayed by 70 years. Seeing his belongings brought memories flooding back, and she held the diary, tears streaming down her face.
He had started the diary as soon as he entered the military camp, documenting his life in the Marine Corps and expressing his feelings for her. Before the U.S. attack on Palau, he wrote a final request in his diary — hoping that whoever found it would deliver it to his beloved girlfriend.
Three days later, he was killed by a Japanese sniper. Seventy years later, she inadvertently saw this diary. The feelings from that time are now just memories, but they are still deeply moving.
The 90-year-old woman was engulfed in deep longing, never forgetting that pre-graduation dance. He had held her while dancing, kissed her fervently, with moonlight streaming through the window and the oriole singing. The ring he gave her still adorned her hand. Seventy years had not erased his image because he was etched in her heart.
A few days later, she returned to the National WWII Museum in New Orleans, with trembling hands placing a photo of herself in the diary. On the photo, there was a delicate inscription: “Forever loving you, Laura.”
Love transcends time and life. Remember these ordinary names: Jones and Laura.
