Yeah, I haven’t been able to enjoy myself as much as I usually do since I caught a cold and currently fighting snot and headaches at 37,7°C – but that doesn’t diminish this uplifting feeling of loyalty, friendship, attraction, confidence, intimacy, knowledge, sympathy, growing up and growing old together. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Some old pictures. Amazing to see how bad the quality of those pictures were. And these are scans from reproductions I had actually hanging on the wall for a few years. Back then, we felt those were *good* pictures!

Also note how long it took Claudia to prevent me from making weird faces.
To think that back then we didn’t even have digital cameras!
The black and white pictures is probably the oldest. That’s what Claudia’s hair looked like when we met, in high school.

Congratulations to you both (and get better soon)! The way you two have loved each other all these years is inspiring!
Personally, I think you two should celebrate by visiting San Francisco. 😃

On Google+, I linked to this blog post and wrote: “Some people say, time flies and I think they mean that they remember events of the distant past as if they had happened only yesterday and then there are long stretches where they don’t remember much. Luckily, I don’t have this feeling of time running through my fingers. Instead, I feel like my life stretches into an unimaginable past of cassette recorders, land lines, 2400 baud modems, vinyl records. When I met Claudia, there were no cell phones. Claudia felt that CDs were just a fad and would soon disappear again. And between then and now, so many years, so many summers, so much rain, so many holidays, so much to eat, so many stories to share, so much togetherness.”
When Claudia and I visited San Francisco, we didn’t know about digital cameras.
Back then, making an album meant taking scissors and glue and an empty book. We still have about one meter of photos that need glueing. We kept joking that we’d do it when we retire. By then I’m not sure who’ll we’ll be doing it *for*. Having no kids makes you reconsider such projects...

Tolle Fotos! Das Schwarz-Weiss-Foto dürfte eines der ersten Fotos von euch beiden sein. Habe ich noch nie gesehen. Also dann, macht weiter so!

Danke. 😄
Jetzt muss ich erst mal warten bis Claudia aus ihren Ferien zurück ist.
