Birthday wishes
Today is my birthday and it is kind of a sad day for me. This may be the last birthday I celebrate here in Germany and this is scary! I guess days like birthdays or other holidays will be the days when we realize most how much we miss home. It must be so strange to not be able to just drive by your parents, brothers or best friends houses to get yourself a birthday hug! When we had dinner tonight with my parents and my parents-in-law we joked about having a birthday dinner via Skype next year. I laughed about that, but perhaps it will be what my birthday looks like next year!
I am so happy to not be alone with this whole emigration thing! To be frank, if I hadn’t got Flo in my life I wouldn’t be able to go at all, because he is the one who won the Greencard. But anyway I don’t know, if I would be brave enough to go on my own. Short before Flo and I met I really thought about trying to get a job in the US. I was so bored with my life back then and was desperate for a change. The whole being alone in a foreign country thing didn’t scare me much back then. Perhaps because I hadn’t found the love of my life, yet, and didn’t knew what it ment to be without real love. Or just perhaps it was just a dream and not a dream you already reached for!
They always say that friends are the family you choose on your own. Perhaps I will be with a new found family on my birthday next year. Perhaps I will be alone with my husband. Or perhaps I will be having dinner with my parents and my grandparents via Skype. Whatever it will be, I hope I will be happy with what the last year brought to me. And right now I just can’t wait to experience what this will be!
