Hi :)

I hope you won't be angry with me though. On April 13th, Manni and me will celebrate our sixth anniversary being dad and daughter. In case you wonder what I am talking about, I give you some information.

Back in those school days I did not know what a true friend was for, and since I was interested in the arts, as well as "uncommon" music that was e.g. Rolling Stones, I was bullied. Or they used to stick to me as soon as I was able to help them...financially or by passing my homeworks to their place.
:( :( :(

I also used to be beaten up many times for no reason given, my beloved Granny passed away and my parents broke off. That was why I suffered from depression like 24/7. :(:( :(

All in all I felt like living in the sahara. The only place I prefered was a grave of my own. :(

But in 1998, I happened to get to know Manfred (Manni) and we became very good friends right from the beginning. :yay: For he also had many problems of his own (his beloved wife passed away more than twenty-seven years ago, his daughter died twenty years ago) and he used to have a lot of troubles with this adult twin sons.

Since I have been knowing him, he has helped me in so many ways, primarly getting away with my blues as well as I dragged him away from crying too many tears.

We believe that our angels (his wife, his daughter and my granny) must have made a masterplan with God.

On April 13th, 2001, Manni asked me if I would become his daughter, not by adoption, since he felt that a voice within was telling him to do so.

First I asked him, if this was the right decision, since he had had already a daughter and he assured me that I would not be a subsitute at all.

So I gave in. Since that day, we use to call each other "dad" and "daughter" all the time and celebrate our special anniversaries
(December, 19th [1998] and April 13th [2001] dad and daughter day).

Therefore I was just wonderring if I could add this date as an extra to the birthday list, please? :)
