Alan and I have known each other for about 25 years. It is a true love story as he pursued me for many years before we got together. He was very determined. I remember once he turned up at my house just as I was about to go out with another man; and somehow turned it to his own advantage. The other man went home and I went out to dinner with Alan. We dated sporadically at first, but after time I learnt that he was as indespensible to me as I was to him. Our love grew over the years.
