Wow, it sounds like you went through a lot for the person you loved. Dealing with shyness, opposition from her family, and even having to see her from a distance must have been really tough. It's unfortunate that her father didn't initially accept your relationship, but love has a way of persevering. I'm glad that you both were able to overcome those obstacles and find your way back to each other. Love truly is a powerful force. It's great that her father eventually accepted your relationship, allowing you to be together. It's a beautiful story, just like Romeo and Juliet, but with a happier ending. Love can truly conquer all.
