Love

Happy Valentine’s Day My Hearts! I hope you had an amazing weekend and are having the best week thus far!

I interrupt your regular program (Lost in Found would be back next Tuesday, by the grace of God) to bring this message on love.

Okay so, I am an INCURABLE ROMANTIC and no man, woman, child or demon will ever change that!

I believe in Love! Complete, Unconditional, Pass the test of time, death didn’t do us part, respectful, knows no bounds, what’s yours is mine, intimate, best friend, partner in crime, my other gun, baby you got me, only one I see, in this together, raw, genuine, give you my bread, share my Jollof rice, LOVE! It is with this, that I present to you all, my favorite love story of all time by Paulo Coelho:

“A boy and a girl were insanely in love with each other,” my mother’s voice was saying. “They decided to become engaged. And that’s when presents are always exchanged.

The boy was poor–his only worthwhile possession was a watch he’d inherited from his grandfather. Thinking about his sweetheart’s lovely hair, he decided to sell the watch in order to buy her a silver barrette.

The girl had no money herself to buy him a present. She went to the shop of the most successful merchant in the town and sold him her hair. With the money, she bought a gold watchband for her lover.

When they met on the day of the engagement party, she gave him the wristband for a watch he had sold, and he gave her the barrette for the hair she no longer had.”   

Happy Valentine’s Day to you and yours! May your love be so genuine that no sarifice would be too big for it.

Love always,
