The long journey to his Ithaki, to love...

What he loved in her was her astonishing beauty, her smile… Her beauty was pure, elegant, just simply breathtaking.

What he loved in her was the colour of her eyes… the deep azure
blue of the Aegean Sea… It was startling!

What he loved in her was her beautiful mind… A mind so crisp, so sharp, so very smart… She was resourceful she was driven she had beautiful dreams… She believed in human ideals she cared she liked giving she shared. That’s what he loved in her most, her lovely personality. She was so very tender, she was a loving heart.

He had travelled his long Odyssey all these endless years; but his Ithaki was nowhere to be found. He had travelled long days, days without an end, days with lots of hurting, days with pain agony and tribulations. And yet, finally, one day,
he found his beloved Ithaki.
His Ithaki was friendship,
his Ithaki was love,
his Ithaki was sharing. It was deep affection, it was authentic trust, it was pure joy, it was wonderful caring. He was a dreamer and all his dreams had come true… He had found his Ithaki…

His Elaine was his Ithaki.
She was simply
too good to be true.

It was now their Ithaki,
heir very own Ithaki…

He was so lucky , so lucky to have her…
They had both wandered the world desperately, frantically seeking each other. But finally, one day after all these endless years the magic veil of fate brought them so ever close to one another.
Their love was pure as crystal, their love was simple magic. Their hearts were just like one, their souls were bonded together.

They would be forever together.
