Dear Joe,
I met Don when in my elementary years. He was a cousin of my cousin, not entirely related only thru marriage of my aunt. He was always nice to me, teasing me like an older brother and playmate. We'd laugh over almost anything. Since we share common cousins, I usually join their family gatherings at Laguna, his hometown. We eventually got really close to each other.
During his grandmothers wake what started out as a casual conversation turned into courtship, which eventually led to us being in a relationship.
