After a few days in my hometown Heidenheim I returned to Stuttgart this morning. Nadine’s father celebrated his birthday in the Pier 51, the restaurant we visited after Nadine’s burial. After having brunch we went to Nadine’s tree together.

At the foot of the tree, the first spring flowers have started to grow. The place becomes more and more beautiful and I’m sure Nadine would have loved it there. But this makes me sad anyway: we used to share such moments of beauty and we can’t do it anymore. There are no words to describe how much I miss her…

Annika and me went through the mass of condolence cards we both received and we want to thank all of you who stood and still stand with us in those hard times. Thank you for your kind words, your gifts and your donations too – we hope all your effort will help to heal our deeply broken hearts. Thank you very much!

I went through Nadines’s storage device where she kept backups from her iPhone and pictures she got from other people. I took the best of them and added them to the end of the “Nadine in Pictures”-gallery.

On the one hand it is nice to loose myself in all these pretty memories, but on the other hand I’m always confronted with the fact that they are all that’s left. With the cruel downside that I can’t put my arms around them…
