.On Love, again..


 This thought about ' love' was triggered in my brain when i watched The Danish Girl, day before yesterday. The netflix membership is my son's gift to me. In the movie, which is based on real life characters, the painter A Elbe goes through a trans gender transformation in the late 1920's. He was helped in the process by his wife, Gerda. I've never seen or heard or read about anyone like Gerda. She understood her husband's need to become the woman who he felt he was. She brought himback from the hospital and nurtured him after his first operation. He died after the second very critical one. Probably some mega personalities in our country also have, in recent times. After his death Gerda continued to paint pictures of Lili Elbe ( her husband's transformed new woman identity) for the rest of her life. THAT is love, i thought..
