When we were on our way to the airport we play on the same gate there present us because she asked me a photo and I approach to her, but when she is going to take the picture fails to give that not ran out of battery . Then there was no more communication up to 5 months after I had a stake in the stars dance I went to participate is there that I see again why she was also participating as a model and dancer we putted the phone number to have a little communication as a friend. After there we had the opportunity to share on many occasions because she had her commitment to dance and work, and I had my commitment to boxing. But God is great and / or destination so that gave us the opportunity to share on several occasions to get to know each other gradually. Then we went to share several times my heart understood that something is happening inside me that was not normal and I was feeling somewhat stronger for it noticed that my heart was trusting another way for a more formal relationship but not He was like let him know her because I was afraid to reject me. Look for the right to let you know my feelings toward her and what she answered me was that we gave us the opportunity to know us little by little to see if it worked the relationship and if we could give the opportunity to get to something more serious moment. Thank God that was given the opportunity I am still with A. Maldonado Garcia Dennisse and we married 5years. Given this relationship we have a beautiful beautiful daughter named Diannelys E. Calderon Maldonado. We currently have a beautiful communication as a couple and I owe it to her because she has shown and taught many things as a human being of which I have been able to turn because we are different people and always must have good communication in a relationship . Best of all is that we have the same taste and it is for this reason that we love and love very much.
