one of the things that i find very attractive about my husband is his life story. i am intrigued by it. i love to listen to him talk about all that he has seen, learned, and experienced growing up- especially about his life as a young man in communist east germany.
today marks the 2oth anniversary of the collapse of the berlin wall. it is fascinating to hear him describe life before and after this historic event and how it changed his life- i enjoy it so much. to witness, and live such a historic event is wealth beyond measure. i literally feel as though i am living with a piece of history.
not to mention, i am lucky girl that wall came down, or else i wouldn’t have my tall dark and handsome!
some historic events that i feel lucky to have witnessed are of course the election of barack obama, the ending of the civil war between eritrea and ethiopia, the dot.com era in the 90s, the evolution of the internet and the positive and negative impacts it has had on globalization…
there are so many. this is why i will always own my age- no hiding it, and will stand by it with pride, always . after all, your age is only a sum of your life’s experiences and i embrace with gratitude every year that i have lived to see, hear, meet someone, learn, or do something that has changed my life.
