karibu!

We met at his family house in Arusha when my sister Lila and I made a stop from Dar on our way to Nairobi. Heri and his charming way came rushing through the door to greet me and right away took me to the back yard grill and made Vera nyama choma. He then gave a brief tour of Sanawali neighborhood. We walked and talked for a few hours. That’s when our love first started. Years past, Heri came to America and we briefly reunited again. However, life commitment and other responsibilities didn’t not allow us to be together at that time. Twenty years later November 2019, through family and online communication, Heri found out that Vera was available, and so was he. He didn’t waste no time to pop the question. He said: You are definitely the one I let get away, and this time God has return you to me so please let’s get married. Vera said YES because she always wanted a man as kind, loving and caring as Heri. And that’s how this love story story goes..
