The Time Traveler's Wife, please..

Does anyone have a copy of the book, The Time Traveler's Wife? I would like to borrow it to read.

I just finished watching the movie, once again. Yes, this isn't the first time I was watched it but I still find myself being touched by the simplistic nature of the love story in that movie. The time travelling part of the movie serves only to show me how endearing true love can be.

We may not always be together with the ones we love, set apart through distance, or in this movie, the unique ability of the main protagonist who travels through time. We may not like the arrangements but if we really love the person, then we will be patient and understanding towards their little shortcomings.

Once we conquered that feeling, we can then move forward together, working towards accommodating, supporting and making better as best as we can, the shortcomings of our loved ones. Only then a relationship of love can survive all shortfalls and grow into something more beautiful.

The first time I watched it, I cried shamelessly. The fact that I was alone then probably contributed to the freeflow of tears streaming down my cheeks. This time, I wasn't alone. Try I as might, I still couldn't stop myself from feeling sad for the lovers there. I cried again. Yes the story didn't have a perfect happy ending, but I loved the ending, nonetheless. I didn't think it was all that sad. It gave them hope, too.

Though his ability to travel through time might have killed him prematurely, but it also gave him and his family love and hope. So yes, I would love to read the book. See how the story goes. I have a strong feeling that I am going to enjoy the book very much.
