" I don't remember the time I felt so much emotion as I felt on this day. Finally, FINALLY after 2 weeks in customs my dear Mya Myrtle is finally in my arms. And as I just told my friends, it sounds like a warm spring day, a walk in the woods, a perfect sunset, the perfect meal, it sounds like...love..."
