How did your love story begin?

 

Andre and I met in school. He was always very shy and never told me how he felt about me. We were always very close. After school we moved a way from each other. But we still kept in touch. In 2015 I was diagnosed with cancer and in that time God just brought Andre back to me. As I had a 4 year old son from my previous marriage. Andre took care of me and him as if we were his family.
In 2019 I was diagnosed with adhesive arachnoiditis. It is a very serious neurological disease. At time's I can't wolk or dress my self with the amount of pain I have. But before that we were blessed with a beautiful daughter.. But now Andre takes care of us and tries to cover all my medical expenses.

Tell us all about the proposal.

 

It was so special. I was going through a really hard time with my condition and being in pain and working all the time. Andre said I needed a rest. With our life and situation we have never been away by our self. He took me to Clarens for a mid week brack. With my pain we couldn't do much but he did so much for me to make it special. Even if it ment spending most of the time in bed watching a movie or going for short walks. One evening he asked me to be his wife. I couldn't believe that even with my incurable condition he still wants to spend his life with me
