Unfinished project of love

Having known Russell online for the past twelve months, I finally met him in December last year, and enjoyed every minute spent with him.
I commented to Russell at the time that it strangely felt like I had known him for many years, such was his personable and likeable style, an easy going bloke as we would call him here in Australia.

Thank you for believing in me...
