Despite this, we have maintained a loving and supportive relationship, including on the financial level. From time to time, I provide Daniel with financial assistance whenever he is in need and reaches out for support.

He took care of me throughout my stay, not only emotionally but also through shared responsibilities and assistance. Our financial interdependence reflects our mutual care and willingness to support each other regardless of distance or circumstance. ## Give Details of the Nature of the Household During each of my three visits to Juba, South Sudan, I stayed with Daniel at his residence. We shared the same household throughout my stay, and it was during these periods that we truly experienced the day-to-day dynamics of living together. While in Juba, we shared household duties equally. We cooked meals together, cleaned, and carried out other domestic chores as a team. These shared activities brought us closer and allowed us to understand and appreciate each other’s habits, preferences, and values within a home setting. Daniel was always attentive, supportive, and caring, ensuring that I was comfortable and well looked after.

From the moment I met Daniel, I felt a deep connection and knew he was someone truly special. Although I kept my feelings private initially, I later shared with him that I had always seen him as my future husband. Since that first meeting, our love has grown stronger with time. I have travelled to South Sudan three times (in 2021, 2022, and early 2023) to spend meaningful time with Daniel. Each visit further deepened our relationship. We lived together, shared daily routines, and experienced life as a couple. Daniel was consistently caring, romantic, and emotionally supportive during my stays. He accompanied me to and from the airport and ensured I was well taken care of. Our shared experiences – from our early connection online to our time together in Juba – have created a relationship built on love, trust, and shared goals. Being apart from Daniel is emotionally challenging, and I long for the day we are finally reunited in Australia. I truly believe that Daniel is the man I am meant to spend my life with, and I am wholeheartedly committed to our relationship and future together.

When we finally met in person on December 22, 2021, in Juba, my heart knew she was the one. I was nervous, yet her warm smile melted away all my fears, and I knew I had found my forever. Our time together during her visits in 2021 and 2022 was magical—every shared meal, every late-night conversation, every quiet moment of just being together deepened our bond. I remember holding her hand as we walked through Juba, feeling like the luckiest man alive. When I proposed to her, and she shared her secret that she had known from the start I would be her husband, my heart swelled with joy. Our love has only grown stronger since then, even with the distance between us. Each day without her feels like an eternity, and I ache to be by her side, to continue building our love story in person. The memories of her laughter, her touch, and her loving gaze are etched in my soul, and they sustain me until we are reunited. I proposed to her with all my heart, and on January 16, 2023, we committed to a shared life together, to the exclusion of all others. I dream of our wedding day on June 14, 2024, where I will finally call her my wife, and every day after that, where I will wake up to her beautiful face. Abuk, my love, you are my destiny, and I will love you until my last breath. **Final Thoughts** Being apart from Abuk is the hardest thing I have ever endured. My days feel incomplete without her laughter, her voice, and her presence. I miss her more than words can express, and I am counting the days until I can join her in Australia to start our life together.
