Today we would be celebrating 43 years of dating, November, 28th, 2021

Today we would be celebrating 43 years of dating, Sonia with 16 years, Zé with 27.

It was a beautiful flirt, my Ugly Queen going to school with two Friends (one was Lia) and I from Bugre with my Father (I left him at work and went to Flamengo, where I worked, in Gávea.

In the rear view window I saw the uproar after my slow passage through them that followed on foot through the garden between the lanes of the always bottled Estrada do Galeão. I thought, That Miss Linda (Beautiful), a curly-haired princess. What an Aura!

Then I watched the volleyball practice of Professor Luiz Ledo and what was not my surprise to see my hidden passion, to train volleyball, how She struggled, jumped, hit the ball in precise cut. All this without losing the grace! I recognized the Girl who walked through Galeão towards one of the most important Colleges in the world, Captain Lemos Cunha.

One day I was introduced to Her by Ceci, who also played on the team, a beautiful Girl! In due course I offered a ride to both of them in my humble Bugre Brown of so many stories, I took Ceci to the Freguesia and then My Ugly Baby to Guarabu. One of those days after we met in one of the most beautiful beaches of the Island, Zumbi, I invited her to walk, was already in love, but thought she was very young, full of care, so.

Sonia accepted! I ordered the Green Beetle of Mano Jairo, I took Her at the house of a Friend of the Tinoco Family, Teresa, who I call my Cupid (Lia and Denise are also, besides Ceci). We strolled around the island, took a Guarana and stopped at beloved Praia da Bandeira to talk.

Papo was great, I thought, Sõnia had a more beautiful smile that I had ever seen, ravishing, and that hot laugh: there by so many, I believed that it was muffling and behold, suddenly she throws herself in my arms and place a kiss, a huge kiss, which I never forgot so tasty (later, with Friends my Black Rose said: he kept talking too much… I shaved with a kiss! kkkk oh my God, how hot!

And so on November 28, in 1978, 43 years ago we officially started dating, months before Flirting, a year later, the Engagement and January 23rd, 81, the Wedding.

At first, already from Bugre again, long hair, colors of clothes that matched nothing, passed to pick Her up at the house of Cupid Teresa, still respecting Seo Tinoco, a great man, very serious Liutent, Febian who fought with my Godfather Harley in the War and taken from Montecastelo, Dona Magdalena who from the beginning supported and helped to conquer me with the best Condensed Milk Pudding in the world, the jealous Brother-in-Law Carlos, and the Sisters Tinoquinhas, older than her, the youngest, who took care of everything, I already a crown (old), almost staying for uncle …

Gradually things happened naturally, and the passion became a great Love for 36 years, until with Her Mission fulfilled in this Plan, Queen became Star in Heaven, shining, as usual, wherever he went!

But Love when true is eternal and I love of Passion to this day, in complete fidelity for all time, even though You know that Sônia Tinoco has now the highest Mission!

My Eternal Girlfriend!

A loving kiss as the first, all the flowers of the world on that date!

Yours, Zé

P.S. – As my Family, She used to call me Zé, the only Zé is not a José!
