My husband was celebrated the whole day through. It was his 89th birthday and I am so lucky to have him.

As we married i did not think of the age different. He was still young and a very special personality. Well he still is, but not young any more. Of course his body is suffering from getting older and he does not hear so well but his brain is still young, even if he complains not remembering everything, but who does? He is fantastic! All our children are making some kind of competition, to demonstrate who is the most loved one – that they care and that they are the most important one. Especially my bonus-children who I inherited by our marriage. The girls still see me, after 35 years of marriage, as a kind of competitor. It will never change and they will never understand, that without me there father wouldn’t really care that much for them. I have always tried to push him to show some affection for all the children and to integrate them in our life. The thing is, I can’t replace their mother, who more or less left them to live her life. Therefor I have neglected my self but it is to late to change that. Nobody forced me, and I believed to act the way I did was love! Well in a way it was but one way…..my husband always was a big ego, thinking everything revolves around him. I don’t know if that is typical man or typical my man? Our common daughters do not have that kind of problem. They know they are important to booth of us and that we love and can’t live without them. It sounds as if I am complaining but I’m not!

I HAVE CHOOSEN MY LIFE AND I AM HAPPY THE WAY IT IS!

Wir leben unserem Leben zusammen seit so vielen Jahren und haben ein Weg gefunden mit einander umzugehen. Natürlich ist alles anderes geworden als ich/wir uns vorgestellt haben als wir uns in einander verliebten und uns für ein gemeinsames Leben entschied. Das Leben ist nicht nur voller Rosen! Die Rosen haben Dornen und sie welken aber es kommen immer wieder neue Blühten und es ist wichtig zu lernen sie zu schätzen. Es ist so einfach eine Spur zu folgen ohne nach links oder recht zu gucken und dabei Entdeckungen zu machen die sonst verborgen wären. Hindernisse zu überwinden machen uns stärker und so ist es auch mit der Bindung zweier Menschen. Ich danke Gott, dass du und ich so vielen Jahren zusammen haben und hoffe, dass wir noch vielen gemeinsamen Jahren haben werden.

VOM HERZEN – ALLES GUTE ZUM GEBURTSTAG!
