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.
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?
Dominique, i dont know what to say ! 
I like the smell of Napalm, first thing in the morning...
