my journaling reads:
I never thought for one minute that we would end up being together this long. We met when you were just 19 and I was only 20. I recall the first time I ever saw you. You were using a public pay-phone (those were the days when very few people owned a mobile phone!) and I was just about the start my first shift behind the bar at Duisburg in Germany. I remember thinking, Oooh he looks cute! and I smiled at you, then you smiled shyly back. You spent most of that evening sitting at the end of the bar and we chatted in between me serving customers. I honestly didnt realised how much I loved you then and just how much I still love you now. I love you this BIG.

Thanks for looking!
