This morning on CBS I saw a rather touching story about a 9 year old girl and a 7 year old boy who got married yesterday. They became friends in a Leukimia ward and vowed tto remain friends forever. Now, even though the boy is recovering, the girl only has a few weeks left to live. To seal the friendship, the parents of the children decided that they would have the children get married because that is what Jayla, the little girl wanted to do. As a father, I can kind of imagine what these two families are going through and I'm so impressed that they would spend these last few weeks making happy memories for their children. Even as I type this I can feel the tears welling up as I think about whether I could have the strength to do the same thing for my own children if I was in that situation.

Ok reading the whole thing that is sad and touching.
Having said that, out of context the preview line just said

without context I was rather disturbed and thought you must have a thing for arranged marraige. sorry to break the mood to your thread with morbid humor because it is sad and sweet, but I just had to say it.
You know, you're being a real downer today. ;)
Watch some TOOL videos on Youtube...that'll cheer your arse right up !!! :)
