Mireille
We were well aware that some around us had doubts as to where this commitment would lead … and we will have to admit that pessimism wasn’t completely unfounded. Mireille you were 21 years old .. there was 22 years between us, my immigrant background was hardly a plus … a 6 year old daughter in the picture … as well as a strange religious involvement etc -- What were the chances? Now 30 years later … I can’t think of a more wonderful and amazing journey than this one has been -- as we have shared it together Mireille… not only the journey itself with its hills, and valleys – good weather and bad etc. It has been a journey that we have tried our best to navigate together, As well, life has given us some wonderful real-life products of this journey together – Wonderful treasures created through our lives together that today are more valueable to both of us than life itself. I hope that you all here will know what I’m refering to … and it’s not this house! Think, if we had known 30 years ago where that begining would lead … Looking back I think we can remember it as not without its pain, uncertainty and frustration ---- but without a doubt our today is well beyond the finest dreams we may have had at that time. Ok, I know that 30 years is not the destination .. For me I would like to make the same pledge that I did 30 years ago … to let life lead our lives where ever it will, but to do it together with you Mireille. Some life factors are considerably more stable for us now than then … some other factors still place question marks on what turns in the road may be ahead – but we will deal with them as they come …. And most of all, we will deal with them together!
We both love each of you .. not collectively but individually … and our love is not as 1 love, it is as 2 …. It is individually to each of you from each of us, each in our own way,
