Great Love & Great Tragedy Go Hand in Hand

The title of my post really caught my attention while watching the interview of Nicholas Sparks at The Bottomline with Boy Abunda. This was exactly the answer of Nicholas when asked why some of his novels are about love and tragedy.  Sparks is one of the best novelist I've ever known. He is one among the bestselling authors worldwide. But amid all the achievements, he is still very humble. Hopefully, someday I'll meet him in person and get a chance to talk to him.
Some of his works are the following:
The Best of Me (latest)

Safe Haven

The Last Song

The Lucky One

Dear John

The Choice

At First Sight

True Believer

Three Weeks With My Brother

The Guardian

The Wedding

Nights In Rodanthe

A Bend in the Road

The Rescue

A Walk To Remember

Message in a Bottle

The Notebook

Wokini (means seeking a new beginning or seeking a new vision)

One of my favorites among his works is "A Walk To Remember", it is a very touching story. It proves that great love really exists because that's the ending I want for the novel. But nevertheless, when we say great love it is always coupled with tragedy. When I say tragedy, it may be a problem or a challenge that someone will experience for the sake of great love. But the bottom line is, great love is a treasure that's why once you've found it, do everything to keep it for life.
