So hear I am 3 years later I’ve never been happier, and just yesterday I agreed to spend the rest of my life with the woman I love more than life itself. Oh Anna, it was beautiful how she proposed to me. We had decided to go back to a little cottage in the hills where we first ever went on holidays as a couple. The place is absolutely magical and breathtaking. There are these waterfalls we loved going to and the walk involves crossing a river on a wooden bridge. I love walking it, but you see Dana is scared of heights and usually half runs over it to get of it as fast as she can. So there I was hanging over the edge taking pictures and out of the corner of my eye, I could see Dana psych herself up to cross. I smiled and went back to my picture taking when she came up behind me and stopped. She turned me round, wrapped me in her arms and slowly kissed me. She pulled away and gently run her hand down the side of my face before saying “Alice, for 14 years I have known I am totally in love with you. With every day that has past in those 14 years, I fall deeper and harder in love with you. At times we’ve run away from that allowing the what we don’t haves to over rule the what we do have. The 10 years I lived without you where the hardest years of my life. My heart always called and ached for you every second of every day. Now that I have you back in my life, I cherish every precious second. I feel so blessed that you allow me to love you like you do. So for now and forever, I want to show in every way how much I love you. Alice, will you marry me and be mine forever.” Anna, I was so choked up with tears I just about managed to say yes. It was so amazing and romantic, it will stay forever etched in my heart.

So there you have it, I am soon to be a married woman and I cant wait. Dana and I have had a lot to overcome, but this just goes to prove that even the impossible can be achieved. There where times it was difficult to imagine we’d be together in the end. When days and nights are long, when the ache becomes too much to bear, it would’ve been so easy to give in. then I’d remember that the love Dana and I share is so pure and strong it can overcome anything. Now I trust and have faith that if 2 hearts are meant to be together, they will be, no matter what the struggle.

Well, im going to leave it here as I have a wedding to start planning. Speak to you soon and we’ll see you next month when I visit.

Love, Alice. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
