A WhatsApp Group call intended to help me and my friend cope with the boredom of the COVID-19 Lockdown gave me the rare chance of meeting a rare breed of human I could not help but connect with instantly with the intention of true friendship that has today metamorphosed into a beautiful relationship with a forever in view. How will I forget how I could not always wait for our group call to end so we could continue with our private calls and messages that many times lasted for hours? The More I talked and related with Dammy, the more I got draw in and appreciated the bundle of blessing of a human I was dealing with, because she ticked very many boxes of what I desired in a life partner. The months and years going forward saw me building true friendship with a fantastic human that I cannot wait to have in my life forever as she gladly accepted to be mine.

It all began with a simple group call initiated by Solace Olabode, our mutual friend, to connect a few of her friends during the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020. I first met Uyi on that call and was instantly connected to him. I remember trying to send him a friend request afterwards, only to find out that he already had 5000 friends. In that moment, I was struck by how popular he was and was eager to know him better. From that point on, we started talking to each other every hour of the day, slowly but surely building a deep connection that went beyond just friendship. Our conversations were filled with laughter, joy, and a sense of ease that made it feel like we had known each other for years. As time went on, we became the best of buddies and eventually realized that we were meant to be more than just friends.

Our hearts overflow with gratitude as we reminisce about the beautiful love story that brought us together. What started as a subtle matchmaking endeavor by Solace turned into something divine - a connection that blossomed into an extraordinary friendship. We will forever cherish the simple group call that brought us together, for it led us to each other's hearts and souls. We are grateful for the unexpected connections that life often brings our way, and for the power of friendship that has transformed into a love that is pure, passionate, and everlasting.
