Twenty eight years ago...

Twenty eight years ago on this date, also a Friday, I was a lonely twenty year old soldier in a foreign country. I had just returned from four weeks in the fields and forests of Germany, I was tired and feeling a little down. My buddies and I sat down at a table out side of the Hard Rock Cafe in Sachsenhausen, Frankfurt, and that's when my eyes met hers. She still has that look in her eyes today and I am very happy to still hold her gaze. Hoffentlich als acht und zwanzig mehr!
