FF: Falling in Love

Mary, the three year old granddaughter of ninety year old Mitch loved this place on the terrace where she could see the ships and the cruises. The best thing about this was the story that her grandpa ha told her a million times, a story that never gets old for Mary. A story she would remember for life.

PC: Fatima Fakier Deria

Mary “Grandpa,tell the  story”

Mitch with a smile “Again?”

Mary “yes yes, pleeease”

Mitch
“This was not a port 70 years back. It was a small deck, with chairs. I and my friends drank & played cards here. One night,a very pretty girl was sitting alone on the edge of this deck”

with a far away look he said “That night, I fell in love with your great grandmother, sweetheart”

  2. A story can always get an imaginative child going... especially if she gets to be part of it, even in a tiny way. I wonder how he fell in love.

  8. Beautiful! I'm a genealogist at heart (and a past one at profession), so this is a story that I hope lives out in many lives. Thank you!
