And this one story, though it will be covered over by the passing years, its relevance will always be fresh… man's heart is always a heart of flesh, whether the clothes worn outside will someday go back to metallic sheets and plates…

Every now and then, I come across a love story worth remembering. Let me share one with you that you may have read about in Reader's Digest.
It began when a man named Kim met a young woman named Kris Ann. Her nickname was Kricket. The two instantly connected. In April 1993, Kim proposed. They were married that September.
Ten weeks later, tragedy struck. A serious car accident left Kricket in a coma. Doctors expected her to die, but, to everyone's surprise, she survived.
Unfortunately, her memory was severely damaged. Through time, she recalled bits and pieces of her life, but the last year was wiped from her consciousness, including all memories of Kim and their wedding.
But Kim refused to give up. He decided to win her heart all over again. He started from the beginning, courting Kricket one day at a time.
On Valentine's Day 1996, two years after their wedding, he once again got down on one knee and proposed to Kricket. They renewed their vows in May that year.
In a time when culture beckons to us to bail out when things get tough, it was inspirational to see this young couple hang in there and work to rebuild what they had lost.
Kim and Kricket showed us that love is worth preserving, even in the aftermath of tragedy.
