Love is in the air

Thank you all ! Today is the D-Day and you were so much to reply to my call ! I never thought you would be so much ! A big big thank you to you all who gave your participation for this so special day for Cédric and I.

When I think that somewhere on the planet, people join me to say how much I love him, I’m really moved ! You don’t know me and today, you think about my love for Cedric and his love for me, you made a shoot and you posted that photo in your gallery ! That is amazing ! The greatest power of love ! Everything is not lost in the world!

I took a photo for this theme too, it’s a simple view of the calendar, it’s on the wall just in front of me, above the screen of my computer.

3 years ago, Ced was living in a nice flat in Brussels, we knew eachother since 11 days and I arrived in the morning with crescents and little breads with chocolate. We took the breakfast together and then we went for a walk in the city. We were both very shy and weren't able to give the hand or even look eachother in the eyes... we went to eat in a Brazilian restaurant and spent the afternoon in the center and in the cinema where we saw "I, Robot" with Will Smith. At the moment to leave him and go back to my house by train, we kissed.

It's funny because we talked about that first kiss some months ago and Cédric was sure that he made the 1st step for it.. and I was sure that it was me who made that 1st step... so we realized that we made the step exactly at the same time.... and THAT is magic!

Ced will surely see your photos this evening, when the most will be posted… I’ll try to update the description of my photo several times for the day but we’ll maybe go somewhere, to the restaurant, or the cinema, or we'll take a walk in Brussels and go to the Central Station to remake our first kiss together on the 6th quay, or maybe we’ll spend the afternoon in the bedroom ;-) Anyway, let me a comment here when you have posted your photo and your gallery will be linked here and on our blog

A big big thank you:

We even got a very nice poem from Rahul :

Love is a gift, that cannot be demanded,
A blessing that comes the the heart,
And persons sharing it, find their hearts turned to Heaven,
The place where love first had its start,

Love is a pledge that will never be broken,
A belief that will ever be true,
And when, its sent from an unselfish heart,
It is returned in full measures to you. :)
