MY LOVE STORY as told by Femi Senjobi I’m excited that we’re starting a family together, you and I forever. My dream is coming true right before my eyes. I still cannot fully grasp how happy I am. All I know is that my happy tank is full. I’m happy to spend the rest of my life with you. My happiest moments were the times we spent together. The words you spoke have made an amazing impact on my life. Your prayers are the fuel in my rocket. I cannot yet imagine waking up to this wonder every single day for the rest of my life. As you probably already know, you are my first, whether fake or real. You are my one and only if we include every person on the queue too.
