Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower
And stole my heart away complete.

Auntie Ches: "Aneka, if you want to extend your stay here, I am sure your Auntie Peggy and Auntie Charissa would understand."
Aneka: "I just met him. My family is my priority right now."
And with that she remained faithful to her itinerary, despite the pining of first love.
My goddaughter Aneka, visiting from Manila...left today for Chicago.
I don't know whose heart was more broken: hers, her new friend Rick's or mine.
