celebrating life

Today is a day of mixed feelings… it being my birthday and Dave’s dying day ๐Ÿ™


Because of this I dreaded my birthday, but it turned out to be a great day I must admit. The weather was perfect, sunny and 21ยฐC, I took the morning off and Nico and I went to the GaiaPark (www.gaiapark.nl) in Kerkrade. Impressed once again by the park and the animals (cheetahs, giraffes, apes etc) we had a great time and ended up at the Mujo steakhouse in Scherpenseel, Germany (10 minutes from our place) for dinner. Now we’re back home, so if someone still wants to come by, we’re home now ๐Ÿ˜‰

To Dave:

The double anniversary has come… my birthday and your dying day ๐Ÿ™

Last year I said I would keep celebrating on this day… celebrating both our lives! So dear Dave, today I raise my glass on my 44 years on this planet and on the couple of years you’ve been a part of it! We wanted it to be so many more years, but there’s a lot of truth in what Lisa said. We lost you and Dan, but gained so much in return – a whole family in our case which we are extremely grateful for. Still we wish we could turn back time and have you and Dan back in the city that we hope to call home soon. We love you and miss you! CHEERS!
