It's amazing how something small can totally make your day, isn't it?!
Back in March I had one of the most amazing and memorable nights of my life - Mardi Gras 2007.... here's the full run down.
Anywho, while we were dancing along to... umm, the freemasons I think... Kendall started chatting to a couple of really lovely guys, Chris and Paul, who ended up telling us their inspirational story of love. I actually mentioned them in the afformentioned post!
I'm a little vague on the details (mainly cause I was incredibly maggot at the time!) but from what I can remember, the guys met over the net, one from London and one from Belgium. Paul had a family and kids... but after he met Chris, they fell in love and Paul made a massive decision to up and leave everything he knew to follow his heart.
He moved countries, cultures, left behind his old life... even had to learn a new language. Kendall and I were bemused. "Why would you wanna do that?" was the general theme of what we were saying back to them.
Paul answered simply "Sometimes, you've just gotta do what you've gotta do for love"
So after a bit more of a dance with the guys, Kendall and i got a pic with them (on their camera) and then we went off on our merry ways... thinking we'd prob never hear from each other again.
But this morning, I was lucky enough to open my inbox and find this:
