And three years later, we are Husband and Wife. :D ... ( Archived) (15)

I know some of you CS ers know our story, but I thought about posting it on Success Stories to tell others that great things can happen here despiste the scammers hehe.

So ... After a couple of Views from him to my profile ...and a few from me to his... we got eachothers emails and started talking about random stuff. The more we kept talking, the closer we got, and realized ... wow... we do have stuff in common...a lot of them actually.

We used to talk sometimes, then daily , then for hours everytime we could.

Then one big question arised...'What if??...'
'Would be possible to... one fine day...'

Fears became unconditional trust. The first day we were together we knew everything would be alright.

And so it was.

I came back and we decided to change our lives compleatly. I left everything I knew in my country and packed my heart and my daughter with me .

Huge risk, for both of us.

But when two souls find eachother it just happens.
We have faced difficulties, problems , adaptation issues but who said life was a fairytale?

Three years later after the first 'Hi' ... last December,we said 'I do ' and became the family we are now.

I wish you people, the very best.

Ps: Im still here bcoz I love the forums and blogs. Period.


Ps2: when you read this, I just wnna say... Ich liebe Dich mein Schatz !!

Love your story Toni

I hope you like this poem for the both of you Antonia:

I LOVE YOU" ("Te Quiero")
Mario Benedetti - 1920-2009

Your hands are my caress
my daily reminders
I love you because your hands
work for justice

if I love you it's because you are
my love my accomplice and my everything
and in the street arm in arm
we are many more than two

your eyes are my spell
against a cursed day
I love you for your gaze
that looks and plants the future

your mouth that is yours and mine
your mouth doesn’t lie
I love you because your mouth
knows how to shout rebellion

if I love you it's because you are
my love my accomplice and my everything
and in the street arm in arm
we are many more than two

and for your open face
and your wanderer’s footstep
and your weeping for the world
because you are of the people I love you.

and because love is not a halo
nor morality tale
and because we are a couple
that knows it is not alone

I love you in my paradise
which is to say that in my ideal country
people live happily
without even having permission

if I love you it's because you are
my love my accomplice and my everything
and in the street arm in arm
we are many more than two

:heart:heartwings: wings:

Proof.. That Long Distance Relationships Can work! So happy for you

Perhaps you already know Benedetti's poems and in Spanish,any way.

Te quiero.
Tus manos son mi caricia
mis acordes cotidianos
te quiero porque tus manos
trabajan por la justicia

si te quiero es porque sos
mi amor mi cómplice y todo
y en la calle codo a codo
somos mucho más que dos

tus ojos son mi conjuro
contra la mala jornada
te quiero por tu mirada
que mira y siembra futuro

tu boca que es tuya y mía
tu boca no se equivoca
te quiero porque tu boca
sabe gritar rebeldía

si te quiero es porque sos
mi amor mi cómplice y todo
y en la calle codo a codo
somos mucho más que dos

y por tu rostro sincero
y tu paso vagabundo
y tu llanto por el mundo
porque sos pueblo te quiero

y porque amor no es aureola
ni cándida moraleja
y porque somos pareja
que sabe que no está sola

te quiero en mi paraíso
es decir que en mi país
la gente viva feliz
aunque no tenga permiso

si te quiero es porque sos
mi amor mi cómplice y todo
y en la calle codo a codo
somos mucho más que dos.

Love to you both!
