Mon Amour



A dedication to Tae, my sister, my best friend, my confidant, my light, my soul mate. And now the puzzle pieces have come together and the stars have aligned. Its not destiny though, that would pay no consideration to you. Its hard work, an amazing mind, wonderful eyes and a beautiful soul. Go and enjoy and when you are ready I will be waiting. xx

Bellamumma, The Cinderella project, The Swarovski Princess.
