Joana and her family were poor so that her parents had no reason to take their children shopping. It was a good reason why she was extremely happy to receive the box. And the little one was trying to find a way to thank Tyrel Wolfe for the gift she had had the chance to have received. She then sent a letter of gratitude that never reached the Tyrel. After 14 years spent, Tyrel did not even accepted his friend's request on Facebook.

Friendly request not accepted


Joana kept Tyrel's picture that was in the shoe box in a safe place for fourteen years. This photo was very special for her because she came with the Christmas gift needed. Even after past years, his head was still wondering where the young boy of Tyrell Wolfe could be. Joana revealed later in an interview, questioning if Tyrel had joined the college as she did. After 14 years, even though he did not accept his friend's request, Joana was not about to give up.




Another trial


In 2011, after 2 years since his request for friend rejected in Tyrel, Joana decided to try again. The first time, Tyrel aged 21 received a request, he did not know who she was then he never accepted. Since the same Philippine daughter sent him the request, he had a little curious. He then made the request if they knew each other. The answer was something that suits a romantic movie.

Strange stranger


After Tyrel Wolfe did not accept the friend's request in 2009, however, there was an online message that sparked his curiosity. This woman has claimed to know who Wolfe was. She even told him she had something to say to the surprised man. They lived in separate countries, he in the United States and the Philippines. So, how would it know it? He could not think of a single meeting he had ever had with this person who sent him a message on social media ...

Tyrel did not remember


Joana was quick to answer Tyrel's message on Facebook. She told him about the shoebox she had received 16 years ago he sent her she cherished absolutely. Tyrel had a problem. He did not remember sending a package throughout the Philippines! But after his mother Denise, Denise has refreshed his memory on him sending him a box when he was seven years old, he had only one achievement. So what happened after?

Shared interests


Both of them quickly discovered that they shared a lot of common interest. Tyrel and Joana follow the Christian faith and appreciated Christian music too. They spoke constantly after this point and very quickly a past year. Until then, these are all messages on Facebook. Tyrel wanted to move things to come and go offline too. But they were thousands of kilometers away while there was no chance they could go to a date, right?

The big decision


After a year of sending messages and communicating on social media, both realized that they had really had a lot of hobby and common interests. So Tyrel started to contemplate flying all the way to Joana to see if they might be getting closer to real life. As he appreciated the online messaging, Tyrel quickly took the great decision to see if the spark would follow in person. By May 2013, Tyrel saved enough money to fly all the way from Quezon City to the Philippines, for a 10-day trip to see Joana.

See Joana


So he was here during his first foreign flight from his country. Tyrel was super worried because he did not know what to expect. There was no guarantee that this person he gathered did not even exist at all. International flights are long, so imagine how fast its heart should be prompting throughout the flight! But when he finally had to see her in person, everything was worth it. He worked for his father as a trail and bridge builder on state parks to save money for this trip. So, how did he feel?




Crazy in Love


All this time he had pronounced Joana virtually, so when Tyrek saw her in the flesh, he could not believe his eyes. All that time, he thought he would dream of dreaming, so to see her standing in front of him was amazing for Tyrel. He fell for her instantly. And even Joana had the same feelings for him. We all heard about the term "Love at first glance" no? This was felt by both. So, what was his mind through when Joana met Tyrel?

Just like


When Joana was questioned about how she felt, she responded by saying that there was a rush of adrenaline on all her body when she met Tyrel for the first time. The two of them certainly had butterflies in their dampings and were instantly attracted to each other. The feeling they both shared must be what books and movies continue to speak. So, how has his family been Tyrel?

Meet the merchants


Tyrel was already aware of the fact that he met a girl from the Philippines who had a mediocre financial background family. He was never expecting his home to be a property of 10 x 19 feet, with few furniture, where all his family slept on the floor sharing a bedroom. It was certainly a crucial contrast with the way life was for him in America. After spending quality time with Joana's family, he suddenly has a deep achievement ...

The realization of Tyrel


Tyler quickly understood how privileged he was and had very little complaining about Joana's life. His eyes were opened on how some people had trouble putting a single meal for a day to enjoy the family. In America, even middle class families have the luxury of keeping comfortable furnishings without making any noise. In the Philippines, Tyrel realized that he had taken so much acquired. Everything was thanks to Joana.

Coming to an end


Tyrel's time in a foreign country where he had to learn the luxury he had been blessed enough to get home to America. His precious time with the woman he had fallen ends soon. He was soon about to return to the states leaving behind Joana. Tyrel was detached to realize that their time passed to an end. We can rather relate to the way Tyrel felt when it happened. He should save and be patient if he wanted to see her again.

Removing goodbye


Tyrel had to say goodbye as a 10-day trip to see Joana ending. Spend time with Joana and his family was something he cherished forever. There was no certainty that they would never see again, then the two of them were a little destroyed. He promised to come see Joana and his people again soon. They continued to communicate with Skype. As his tradition goes, Tyrel had to ask Joana's permission to formally date. What's then?




Tyrel's second visit


Tyrel then worked to make a second visit to meet Joana in the Philippines. The first trip happened in May 2013, but in November he would be able to spend a month with Joana. He hardly could wait to see her again. On November 27, Tyrel was now ready to steal thousands of kilometers to meet the woman he had fallen. They had spent enough time to decide if he wanted to marry him. He would need to ask his parents if he was serious to marry Joana.

The wedding was on the cards


Joana's father, Jun, could see how much Tyrel and Joana were not had nothing against their relationship. Since they were both Christians, he did not see a problem from each other. So Joana's Dad gave them his blessing and permission when Tyler asked his hand in marriage. His mother, however, was a bit skeptical that they were still a little too young for a huge commitment. It was determined to prove to flaps he was worthy of his daughter ...

Action plan


Tyrel had to go home. But now he had a mission. He had to find a way to convince Joana's mother and Joana were supposed to be together, get married. He soon found a plan. He would take his father, Ivan with him during the next trip he takes to the Philippines. Tyrel's parents were favorable to the couple and he believed that his father could also make wick on board. In May 2014, Ivan and Tyrel were on their way to meeting the family of Joana ...

There were still non-finished business charges that the couple had to take care of ...

On a knee


Joana's mother was very vocal on how Ivan's visit had an impact on her decision. She was sure to tell her that the merchant family was considerably influenced by her decision to accompany her son. Relle told Ivan was the sign of God, moving her to believe that Joana and Tyrel were supposed to get married. She also told him that if he had not come to meet her, she would have intervened and arrested their relationship. Tyrel could finally have a sigh of relief. So what was the next one? A formal commitment of course ...

In the USA!


Take a lot of time to decide, Joana and Tyrel finally accepted and decided to live together in the United States. This according to them would be the best option.

This would have been waste to leave a good paid job to settle in the Philippines. However, the US bureaucracy asked Joana to get a visa before you can enter their country. It would be possible?
