Valentine’s Special

Valentine’s Special

You guys will have to excuse me but this post is not written by Nellie Huang. Instead, it’s written by her boyfriend Alberto as a surprise for her (this is what happens when you give your boyfriend access to your blog ). This is a very special post, because after Nellie finds out about it, it might just be the last thing Alberto writes in his life.

I have never been much of a Valentine’s person, I always thought that if you really love somebody, any date on the calendar would be a good time to show it. Then, this same thought has showed me that February 14th is as good as any other day, and if you haven’t been specially romantic with your couple lately, this is a great time to make it up.

It has been more than 5 years since I first met this adorable little angel and I have been following her around the world since (sometimes a bit reluctantly I must say ). It was always worth it, because no matter what we did (drive from one side of a country to the other just for a day trip, enjoy the rides of some theme park or finding out that our passport is expired right on the check-in counter – maybe some day Nellie will tell you about that one), we did it together.

Being apart from her was the most difficult thing I have ever done and I don’t think I would be able to do it again. Every minute I spend with her just strengthens the feeling that I don’t ever want to spend a single day, a single night, without her by my side. I have the most beautiful memories of our time together that was definitely the best of my life. Now I can only hope that she will accept this offer, so this moment can continue for the rest of our lives:

Nellie Huang, will you marry me?

Alberto, knowing you for as long as you and Nellie are together, this is the most you have bared yourself to everyone I'd say =D

I am happy to know that Nellie, my very good friend of 10 years, is engaged to a wonderful man like you. Happyhappy! =))))

[...] His proposal on my blog was an amazing feat, and the best gift ever. Alberto’s never been a vocal person, although affectionate and always loving. He makes me feel loved through his actions instead of words. Now, he’s written such beautiful words to me, in front of a huge audience (that’s you) and those words mean more to me than anything else in the world. [...]
