It was not far but yes away. That a certain respectable Aristocrat named Henry created a family. He met the love of his life Alissa. Alissa was fair and lovely. She came from humble beginnings. She had many suitors but Henry won her over. At the beginning of their marriage, they both had struggle and yet somehow overcome the trials and tests of life back then. Henry loved Alissa with all of his heart and she bore many children. It so happened that Alissa fell ill after her child Ninnie. Alissa became too weak to continually being the main caretaker she was. Alissa spent many days in the hospital and her expenses were creating havoc for the family. "Alissa I love you with all of my heart. I love you with everything that is within," cried Henry at her bedside "You know I lost my mother at an early age and my father could bearly take care of me. Please God let her recover. Let her live." Henry would take the children to see her for several months and she got a little better but eventually she passed. Ninnie was the only one who did not know her mother so well. The only children had many fond memories of their mother. Ninnie would be shy and quiet. Ninnie hurted and cried when she thought of her mother apart of her that she did not think would heal. And so Henry buried and had Alissa's funeral, and Henry received a sum and title from Alissa's family. Henry did not know Alissa's family was rich and well endowed. Alissa's family told Henry that Alissa runaway from them because they did not approved of her marriage. Alissa's family apologized at the funeral and they hug and kiss Henry and Alissa's children. Alissa's funeral was lovely and sad at the same time for many people were heartbroken over her sudden death. And as the years passed on, Ninnie stood by her father Henry who became so wealthy and great at business that he became a Lord. Lord Henry raised his family and many of Ninnie's brothers and sister grew up before her. All of her brothers got married and had families and children. Her sister then got married and had children. But Ninnie did not know love she did not know relationship. Ninnie was still that little girl that did not know her mother Alissa. Ninnie was hardworking she was smart like her siblings. She loved working and being diligent. She helped cared for her nieces and nephews. And she took care of her older father Lord Henry. Then one day, a man came by and Ninnie's father Lord Henry was sleeping. The man was looking for her cousin Abram. He said "Hi Lovely Lady, my name is Kennie. I'm a friend of your cousin Abram. Is he here?" And Ninnie brush him off. And Ninnie told her father Lord Henry. Eventually this happened many times then Lord Henry finally talk to Kennie. Lord Henry said "Kennie Abram told me you are into business. He told me you came from a good family." "Yes that is right my mother is a doctor and my father is a minister but I want to see what it is like to be a businessman," exclaimed Kennie. "So you like business.that's good....are you seeing anybody?" said Lord Henry. "Nope my mother and father want me to get a good education so in the meantime I am thinking about going to the military." said Kennie. "Kennie I got one last child, one last daughter, Ninnie. She's hardworking, she's beautiful like her mother Alissa and she is strong," said Lord Henry. Kennie looked eager and smiling and really really really listening. "I would like for you to be her husband, now just think about it because I don't want her alone. She was the youngest and she is pretty shy. Be gentle and kind and protect her for me." said Lord Henry. Abram came in the room and said," I heard Kennie, Ninnie is no joke. She's a good woman. Don't hurt my cousin. Be charming but not a Casanova." Lord Henry called for Ninnie and told her that she got a date and she resisted but obeyed her father Lord Henry. It was the perfect night, the breeze was gentle the sun was beautifully set. It was made for love. Kennie came just at 7:30pm and he knocked in a black pinstripe tuxedo with just pick carnations in his right hand. And Ninnie answered the door in a lovely fitting light blue dress that her mother Alissa passed down to her. And Kennie gave her the flowers and she hugged him and he gave her a light kiss on her cheek and they walk to the park talking and laughing and mingling. They were the perfect match. And that was their story, a love for all times.
