So, my love story started 4 years ago, we met on Facebook, he was just a random add on Facebook but when I saw his profile I was immediately love struck and told myself his going to be mine.
We spoke on Facebook for sometime then he video call me for the first time "was I nervous" but clicked immediately.
With out playing any meeting up or a date, things just went on normal as friends "did not meet yet" I remember it was the day when Queen Elizabeth passed away and he calls me asking me what I'm up to and I said I'm home he tells come outside I was like "huh" he stood there in his grey tracksuit and my heart just melted.

Fast forward we decided to give love a 2nd charge he was married before and I was engaged before but we both gave up on love because of the hurt and trauma we went through.
Today we are 4 years together still going strong loving one another to the fullest making the most of love believing in love again.
He recently found out he has a hernia, and it has been bothering him because when we get news about sickness, we all think about negative, and it affected him a lot and especially to see him so low.
