Because of Love Collection-Scintilla Monaco

          when i was a teenager i always thought that i will meet the good prince charming and we will marry and we will live happily ever after ,but as i grew up and was merged in the wild world of the work ,i started gradually giving up on my teenage white dream , and  started believing that such thing does not exist .Even though my English teacher Miss Eva  used to tell me ,every time i went to visit her year after year " you just have to believe in it and it will happen when you are least expecting it ".

  So one day it happened , on the balcony of my family's mountain house ,my husband knelled on one knee to ask me if i want to share my life with him ,of course i jumped and said YES  even before he finishes what he wanted to say and it was one of the best days of my life.

  I am sharing this, because just at the time when i lost faith in LOVE, i discovered that it exist, we just have to believe and wait for the right person to come along our way at the right moment.

So all of you girls ,women .don't loose hope ................TRUE LOVE DOES EXIST
