Our&nbsp;love&nbsp;story&nbsp;began&nbsp;close&nbsp;to&nbsp;13&nbsp;years&nbsp;ago&nbsp;on&nbsp;June&nbsp;2011&nbsp;during&nbsp;a&nbsp;visitation&nbsp;Sunday&nbsp;at&nbsp;PGSS&nbsp;(Presbyterian&nbsp;Girls&nbsp;Secondary&nbsp;School).&nbsp;I&nbsp;came&nbsp;to&nbsp;visit&nbsp;my&nbsp;cousin&nbsp;when&nbsp;suddenly&nbsp;I&nbsp;turned&nbsp;behind&nbsp;and&nbsp;saw&nbsp;this&nbsp;beautiful&nbsp;specimen&nbsp;of&nbsp;a&nbsp;lady&nbsp;walking&nbsp;down&nbsp;the&nbsp;stairs.&nbsp;She&nbsp;had&nbsp;on&nbsp;her&nbsp;&nbsp;compound&nbsp;wear&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;figure&nbsp;of&nbsp;an&nbsp;African&nbsp;goddess.&nbsp;As&nbsp;she&nbsp;walked&nbsp;towards&nbsp;me,&nbsp;I&nbsp;could&nbsp;not&nbsp;stop&nbsp;staring&nbsp;with&nbsp;my&nbsp;mouth&nbsp;wide&nbsp;open.&nbsp;My&nbsp;cousin&nbsp;(Ntube)&nbsp;introduced&nbsp;me&nbsp;to&nbsp;her&nbsp;as&nbsp;her&nbsp;elder&nbsp;brother&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;was&nbsp;able&nbsp;to&nbsp;get&nbsp;her&nbsp;name&nbsp;(Heidi&nbsp;Mechane&nbsp;Esong).&nbsp;Ever&nbsp;since&nbsp;that&nbsp;visitation&nbsp;I&nbsp;could&nbsp;not&nbsp;keep&nbsp;her&nbsp;off&nbsp;my&nbsp;mind.&nbsp; I&nbsp;requested&nbsp;my&nbsp;cousin&nbsp;to&nbsp;put&nbsp;in&nbsp;a&nbsp;good&nbsp;word&nbsp;for&nbsp;me&nbsp;which&nbsp;she&nbsp;did.&nbsp;Later&nbsp;on,&nbsp;we&nbsp;started&nbsp;dating&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;had&nbsp;to&nbsp;travel. While&nbsp;abroad,&nbsp;we&nbsp;were&nbsp;in&nbsp;constant&nbsp;communication&nbsp;with&nbsp;each&nbsp;other&nbsp;but&nbsp;lost&nbsp;touch. In&nbsp;2016,&nbsp;we&nbsp;both&nbsp;reconnected&nbsp;here&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;US&nbsp;and&nbsp;due&nbsp;to&nbsp;being&nbsp;in&nbsp;different&nbsp;states,&nbsp;we&nbsp;drifted&nbsp;apart.&nbsp;Despite&nbsp;the&nbsp;distance,&nbsp;she&nbsp;was&nbsp;always&nbsp;that&nbsp;Special&nbsp;one&nbsp;meant&nbsp;for&nbsp;me. Early&nbsp;September&nbsp;2023,&nbsp;I&nbsp;picked&nbsp;up&nbsp;my&nbsp;phone&nbsp;and&nbsp;expressed&nbsp;to&nbsp;Heidi&nbsp;how&nbsp;I&nbsp;have&nbsp;felt&nbsp;towards&nbsp;here&nbsp;for&nbsp;all&nbsp;these&nbsp;years&nbsp;and&nbsp;shared&nbsp;that&nbsp;&nbsp;for&nbsp;our&nbsp;paths&nbsp;to&nbsp;cross&nbsp;three&nbsp;times&nbsp;is&nbsp;to&nbsp;show&nbsp;we&nbsp;are&nbsp;soulmates&nbsp;and&nbsp;were&nbsp;meant&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;together. In&nbsp;December&nbsp;2023,&nbsp;I&nbsp;was&nbsp;blessed&nbsp;to&nbsp;meet&nbsp;her&nbsp;daughter&nbsp;(Jaida)&nbsp;my&nbsp;little&nbsp;princess&nbsp;and&nbsp;her&nbsp;family.&nbsp;These&nbsp;gathering&nbsp;ignited&nbsp;my&nbsp;love&nbsp;and&nbsp;desire&nbsp;to&nbsp;spend&nbsp;FOREVER&nbsp;with&nbsp;her&nbsp;and&nbsp;my&nbsp;little&nbsp;princess. On&nbsp;April&nbsp;12,&nbsp;2024,&nbsp;I&nbsp;made&nbsp;it&nbsp;official&nbsp;and&nbsp;asked&nbsp;My&nbsp;Queen&nbsp;(Heidi)&nbsp;to&nbsp;marry&nbsp;me&nbsp;and&nbsp;I&nbsp;told&nbsp;the&nbsp;world&nbsp;that&nbsp;I&nbsp;allowed&nbsp;her&nbsp;to&nbsp;slip&nbsp;away&nbsp;from&nbsp;me&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;past&nbsp;and&nbsp;now&nbsp;I&nbsp;would&nbsp;not&nbsp;be&nbsp;letting&nbsp;go.&nbsp;She&nbsp;agreed&nbsp;and&nbsp;made&nbsp;me&nbsp;a&nbsp;happy&nbsp;man&nbsp;by&nbsp;saying&nbsp;"YES". Life&nbsp;Lesson. Never&nbsp;allow&nbsp;your&nbsp;pride,&nbsp;ego,&nbsp;people,&nbsp;distance&nbsp;to&nbsp;stop&nbsp;you&nbsp;from&nbsp;following&nbsp;your&nbsp;heart&nbsp;to&nbsp;be&nbsp;with&nbsp;the&nbsp;one&nbsp;your&nbsp;heart&nbsp;beats&nbsp;for. Genesis&nbsp;1:27-28 "So&nbsp;God&nbsp;created&nbsp;man&nbsp;in&nbsp;his&nbsp;own&nbsp;image,&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;image&nbsp;of&nbsp;God&nbsp;he&nbsp;created&nbsp;him;&nbsp;male&nbsp;and&nbsp;female&nbsp;he&nbsp;created&nbsp;them.&nbsp;And&nbsp;God&nbsp;blessed&nbsp;them.&nbsp;And&nbsp;God&nbsp;said&nbsp;to&nbsp;them,&nbsp;be&nbsp;fruitful&nbsp;and&nbsp;multiply&nbsp;and&nbsp;fill&nbsp;the&nbsp;earth&nbsp;and&nbsp;subdue&nbsp;it&nbsp;and&nbsp;have&nbsp;dominion&nbsp;over&nbsp;the&nbsp;fish&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;sea&nbsp;and&nbsp;over&nbsp;the&nbsp;birds&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;heavens&nbsp;and&nbsp;over&nbsp;every&nbsp;living&nbsp;thing&nbsp;that&nbsp;moves&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;earth."
