Her name is Eliana. She lives in Denmark with her longtime husband Jack. She is in her late sixties but acts as she were in her twenties. She has 3 children, first born boy lovely Cooper, second born boy happy Easton, and third born girl baby Alba. She has 5 grandchildren. Cooper married beautiful Agnes and have sweet Caroline. Easton married dashing Luna and have sweet baby Isabella. Alba married handsome August and had daring Anton, lively Felix, and cute Sofie. Eliana lives on a farm and owns a cow names Bella who is a prize winner in the fairs. Now it is time to tell Eliana's story.
It was a family brunch in May, all the family was gathered, and everyone was telling stories. Eliana was listening when sweet Caroline whispered into her grandmothers ear "How did you get that scar grandmother?" Caroline pointed to the scar on her ankle. Eliana looked taken back but happily smiled "Come gather, I am going to tell you how I got the scar on my ankle." And just like that everyone became mute.
So the story begins
It was a day I couldn't forget, my friends and I gathered at Bisnap beach for spring break when we were in college. We had separated as soon as we got there because we all had different things we wanted to do. The beach was calm and I had laid out a towel to tan in the sun. After a while I got hungry and sat at a bench to eat. When I was done I pulled out my foot and was slashed by the metal pieces. I was bleeding. That's when my hero came to the rescue, a man came over and helped me get to my towel and ripped a piece of his shirt to wrap around my ankle. When we looked at each other it was love at first sight.
The rest of the day we were together. We took a walk on the beach, swam in the ocean, and collected seashells. We said we were friends and kept in contact but when we met again in summer in Copenhagen. In Copenhagen we went on our first date. We ate fish and fancy creme brulee . The rest of the summer we were together.
Our friends said it was just summer love, until he proposed to me in the park. We said we would marry after we both graduated from college. After we graduated 2 years after he proposed we ran away together and bought this farm. We got married with our closest friends and family there at the farm. We then had 3 children who we raised with as much love as we could give them. They had children and now we are gathered here together.
There was a tear in Eliana's eye. That was Eliana's story.
