I fell in love with his broad shoulders. Then he was really looking very cute. I can still remember what he was wearing that day – a red shirt, long sleeves and jeans trousers.
That was 37 years ago. He couldn’t even take me out because he didn’t have money as a youth corper. It was quite magnetic and that was it.
There is a 3-year age difference between us. I am older than him anyway. I was like 25 while he was 22. It was love that really endured.

And your parents would expect you to go for a made man with everything, but I have always known that there was no way I could have married a self-made man.
I will better build a home from the scratch with you because I want to have a say in my home.”
