Soulmates
Found the following quote on the web (http://www.facebook.com/LoveQuotesAndSayings/posts/525053924246375)
You are my soul-mate, my best friend, and the love of my life… I don’t ever want to be without you… You make my life so much better than I could ever imagine it could be… You make me feel so safe and so secure and I know it will all be OK… I am so blessed to be on this journey with you my love…
It fits Candy and Albert perfectly well, both in the manga and Candy Candy Final Story (CCFS) for at least a few reasons.
- Albert was no doubt Candy’s best friend. She told him many things that were personal to her. In CCFS she said she could tell Albert many things, even the things that she couldn’t tell Annie (her best friend from childhood).
- She was so lost without him in her life. In the manga, she cried in her sleep, missing him terribly. In CCFS, she said she had spent many uneasy and sleepless nights. All that happened after he had vanished.
- Without Albert, Candy’s life would have been dramatically different. She would have been drowned in the waterfall, sent to work in Mexico, or would never have crossed the ocean to study in London.
- Albert’s presence made Candy feel safe. Her own words in CCFS said so. “His presence gave me a marvelous feeling of security.”
There are more, but I will save them for my future posts. 🙂
Sorry…I meant chapter 101 (the sweater scene) ups!!!
No worry 🙂
Thanks Mrs. Puddle! 🙂 These weekend I was watching on Youtube the last chapter of this Anime, and gladly can say, that the audience, little by little starts to accept that is destiny for Albert and Candy begin a new chapter in their lives together. Specially when you watch chapters 111 and 113 ( the sweater scene and the sandwich scene, so romantic, both of them). I think, and it´s only my point of view, the general disappointing about episode 115, the last one, it´s all about how quick things solved, and the lack of emotion when Candy discovers who her Prince is… 🙂
I agree with you Lisette! It was the lack of emotions in the last episode that was disappointing! Neither Albert nor Candy showed the immense happiness that was clear at the end of the manga! However, the sweater scene and sandwich scene were great as you have pointed out. 🙂
They belong together for sure!!! For me this story, has as one of its basis, the moment when Candy and a young William Albert Aldrey met for first time and their lives bound each other. There´s no good byes with them, there´s always the possibility to encounter in the future, their relationship flows as a river. And the origin is also the destiny of our couple: Pony´s Hill, that is their place where the story began and where the story ends. Even though appears a new character in Candy´s life, Albert is always there as the prince of the hill or as Uncle William or as himself. Trough the story he never fades and at the End his presence becomes stronger than ever.
Hello Lisette, I totally agree with you. Very good analysis indeed. 🙂
In the manga it was very clear that Candy and Albert had belonged to each other since their first encounter on the hill. Many things had happened and people had come and gone, but Candy had never forgotten her prince, and unknowingly, she had remained close to him and their bond was invincible! The story ended exactly on the same spot, Pony’s Hill, where their story had begun. He was her destiny! 😀
It’s funny when Candy hardly knows Albert at all, yet she felt comfortable telling him they shared the same fate that they were both lonely and homeless. compatible, in her opinion? If she had known that he was the boy she met on the hill, she’d die of embarrassment. it was like she had professed her love for him already 😛
Yes in a sense she felt connected with Albert already 😛
This could be part of their wedding vows. It is really beautiful!
It is beautiful! I love this quote myself too, CKati! 🙂
Indeed, they are soulmates.
Yes, I agree! 🙂
That I’m upset with him for doing so. >:( Still, he didn’t let the Leagans succeed by bringing Candy to Mexico, nor getting devoured by a lion 😉
He’s just human who made mistakes… Sigh! 🙂
Apparently, they’re afraid to lose each other 😉
Well… Albert had made a painful decision to leave her… :'(
hat I’m upset with him for doing so. >:( Still, he didn’t let the Leagans succeed by bringing Candy to Mexico, nor getting devoured by a lion
Now that I’m upset with him for doing so. >:( Still, he didn’t let the Leagans succeed by bringing Candy to Mexico, nor getting devoured by a lion 🙂
