When Nadine and I became a couple in March 2009, she was 40 years old – the picture above was taken about that date. Today she is turning 48 and I want to express my thanks for being allowed to be a major part of her life for almost eight years now.
I reduced her dosage of Haloperidol to five drops yesterday and she was already awake when I got up at 7:30 this morning. We will see how the day goes and wether she will manange to be awake or not.
Even though the general situation isn’t good at all, I want to repeat last year’s birthday song once more. Call it defiance or call it unbreakable hope…
Liebe Nadine, hier kommt mein Geburtstagslied für Dich: Wie schön, dass Du geboren bist, wir hätten Dich sonst sehr vermisst —- schalalaaaahhhh!!!! Ich bin bei Dir und umarme Dich warm von ganzem Herzen und in Liebe, Deine Bine Bendel
Liebe Nadine, Happy Hapy Birthday. Ich hoffe sehr, dass es heute zu deinem 48ten mindestens ein Paar Lichtblicke gibt. Sei ganz dick umarmt. xoxo
Sending you the strongest best wishes for your birthday, Nadine. Love that picture of you and Jens from when you first met. It captures all the dreams and realities of your relationship. Much love from us in Columbus.
Liebe Nadine, ich hoffe es erfüllt Dich heute ein (langer) Moment des Glücks – vielleicht so ungefähr einen wie auf dem Bild. Alles Liebe.
On your birthday, Nadine, much love and light and music from us in Boston!
love always,
Natalie & Mike
Happy Birthday, dear Nadine! We send love and warmth to you from Boulder.
Love,
Julie, Paul, Wyatt and Henry

Happy Birthday, we love you Nadine! I’m thinking of you, and wishing you strength, and love and light. I remember you on Claire’s birthday (maybe her 3rd?), in Lawrence. You showed me how to make a birthday cake the German way (changing the order of the sugar, flour, milk, eggs). And we decorated it with raspberries. so good! and such a happy bunch of children eating it! xoxoxoxoxo much love, Shari
Hi Nadine! I love you and am thinking of you lots! I remember taking pictures and going to the art museum. I have so many fond memories with you, and they have helped me grow up. I hope you have a beautiful day on your birthday. xoxoxo
