Theirs is the greatest love story never told until their flesh became flesh and their love moved beyond words. They knew not each other’s tongues and yet their tongues did meet. He left his land for a new life and he found Her, a gem in a jungle often kissed by rain and typhoons.

They broke through walls of differences, understanding only the universal language of love. That love produced a boy.

The boy’s father had a noodle shop.   His father died when he was six, and he was sent to live away to live with his aunt so he could attend school.

The boy grew older and moved to the city to shine shoes, where he met a kind man that became like a father. This kind and gentle stranger saw something in the boy, a spark, a light, and he put that boy through school to keep the fire burning. At school, the boy met a girl and they fell in love.

The boy grew into man and got married, joined the navy, and sailed away to start a better life for his family in yet another faraway land called America.
