    Ms Puddle, I must say that I have been “sailing” (I hope it is the correct word) through your haven. And I keep falling for you!
    Alright, having said so, somewhere else you have said that it is a perfect circle, and indeed I agree.
    When I saw Candy Candy anime for the first time in my life, I was around twelve, and during that time my first crush was obviously Anthony, because he reminded me the Prince on the Hill as well. Needless to say I was devastated when he died. Throughout the years as I grew up as well, I developed feelings for Terry too, and was indeed frustrated when they broke up in New York, and I blamed Susana, for causing such a trauma in me. Later on, I was able to understand that those characters felt something for Candy, Anthony was the innocence, pure, and awakening kind of “love” Terry was the start of the adolescence, rebel, adventurous kind of “love”. And now I find that Albert is the constant, truthful, mature, commited, longlasting LOVE. And it encircles both Anthony and Terry’s kind of love. Because he has been there for her in those times. Waiting patiently, encouraging her to be happy, to find herself in life, being whatever she wanted to be, in a time where without him backing her up, she would have been dragged to do something someone else wold have chosen for her, (as Albert himself was), sacrificing himself for her well being. Giving his own life on her behalf, (when the lion’s attack) and there is not such greater love that this, giving your own life for your friends. (according to the bible). So, how can I doubt at all about the true and real nature of this kind of love?

      I’m so glad you enjoy reading my posts, SweetCandyAndley, and that’s a big encouragement to me, knowing that I’m not ‘talking to myself’… 😉

      You have very good analysis too, and I can’t agree with you more. Yes, Albert is like a combination of them both. He’s sweet and gentle, but he can be rebellious at times. However, he won’t lose temper easily, and most of all, he respects Candy and puts her happiness before his.

      Btw, I thought about that bible verse in “Love Never Fails” when writing that particular chapter! Great minds think alike!! 😀

    Hi how about a nice fanart from you that comes from Candy Candy Final Story? I love your drawing skills of Candy and Albert. Please? 😉

    Well point taken, my dear friend! You’re such a great analyst! Those ‘tanas’ should hire you and help them understand that the couple they dream of being together was never meant to be 😉

    I’ve read few of their back-and-forth letters from a Greek forum, and I was so astonished of their relationship had gone deeper than the day they met in the river. I just knew Candy did stay with Albert at the end. I just can’t stop reading their letters over and over lol

    What a beautiful way to put it!! I love the way you explain their feelings. I do want to believe that Candy stayed with such an amazing man. Sometimes reading other websites (for other candidates ;)) makes me wonder if that could be true, did they actually stay together? but when I came back to yours it is just so clear, no doubts. Thanks for your efforts and for keeping the dream alive.

    • Ms Puddle says:

      I’m so glad to hear that, Mel! Yes, people are free to think otherwise, but I strongly believe that Mizuki hasn’t changed even after 30 years since the manga was finished. 😀

    “I’m going to find out where your happiness lies.”… OMG… That’s SO lovely and, it sound like a promise <3

I would like to hear from you!
