30 Years

September 3rd 1994

And here is how it all began....

Herman and I knew each other since we were teenagers and had a crush on each other, but due to circumstances we got out of toch and lived our own lives. In september 1994 I was living in a nice neighbourhood in a beautiful apartment on the first floor, with a vieuw on a small park. Herman was living since a few months on the opposite side of the small park, but I did not know that. He had seen me several times from his window entering my house.

That Saturday I had a friend over for a visit because we had the annual Fair in our village. Since my friend lived about 50 kilometres away I picked her up at her house. When we got back to my house my neighbour came outside and told me that they received a delivery for me, a beautiful bouquet of flowers, with a card that said “We should have dinner together sometime H.P.” .


I was swept of my feet by the flowers and wondering who H.P. was, hoping that it was Herman, but since I had not seen him for a very long time I did not really know what to think. My friend and I went out for dinner and then to the Fair. Of course we went for a drink at the local pub and there he was…Herman…..and then he asked me if I liked the flowers….
The rest is history….. (I found the delivery order years later in a box filled with photographes)
