What Are Words....

How many of people out there meant what they say?  

Maybe you were wondering what happened to AngeLBeaR after her food posts, suddenly she switched to some 'emotional' post here...LOL....

If you still wondering why...check out this video below and listen to every single word:



Chris Medina & Juliana Ramos' story inspired Rodney Jerkins to write this song.  Their love story almost like a fairy tale until she had an accident in 2009, 2 months shy from their wedding day that gave this couple the hardest trial they had to go through till now.  She suffered severe skull fracture, traumatic brain injury, multiple fractures to her beautiful face and partially paralyzed.  Chris is no longer her fiancée, he was her primary caretaker, and together with Juliana's family they arranged, planned and attended the daily treatments for her. It was not easy, nor inexpensive either.    


Note:  Chris Medina is one of the hopeful American Idol contestants but failed to get into the next round (which caused J-Lo a tearful moment when she had to announced it to him that he was eliminated).

Now, what I learnt from this story...is that not many people will choose this road where Chris has chosen.  Many won't blame him if he choose not to take this responsibility, or leave in search for a better, smooth life ahead for himself.  Most might tell him that he has a life to go on his own, rather than let everything passes him by for something that is uncertain. But I guess, Juliana is his life.  God sent Juliana an angel in disguise of a man named Chris.  

So...how many of us actually willing to do what we exactly said?
When we say "I love you." to that special someone, does it meant we love them for that moment, because of the good things they given or did to us?  
When we say "I'll always be with you" does it mean only for the good times at that moment?  
When we say "I care for you." does it including when they are down, sick or in trouble?
When we say "I'll be there for you" does it includes when they need someone the most?

I leave this chorus of the song for you to think about:

What are words if you really don't mean them when you say them?
What are words if they're only for good times then they don't?
When it's love, yeah you say them out loud 
Those words they never go away, they lived on,
Even when we're gone...


The story of Chris and Juliana is a good example of crossing the selfishness, self-sacrifice and devotion so that the other can still lived on; through good and bad times together.  Chris represents a group of people who believe that with love, nothing is impossible.  

Why don't we start to tell everyone around us...that we love them...we care for them and really meant what we say?  Look around us...we might overlooked that someone we left behind because of our own selfishness and still hoping, wondering if you realised that the people we left actually meant what they say.

Don't wait.  Don't say 'later' because...maybe it will be the last time we ever had the chance to do or say so.


Many a medical assistant have seen it every day.  Perhaps part of a patient care technician's certification could include encouragement to families to do this.
