Once we decided to live here in Canada, Mike needed to apply for permanent residency.

One of the questions on the application forms was to confirm where
we met. Usually that is easy to answer. Like … we met at this and this restaurant or concert or at friends…

Well, Mike and I met in Seventh Heaven which we filled into the form!
Now, … would that satisfy the immigration officer? Probably NOT!

By now, you are maybe also wondering: “Where is Seventh Heaven?”

IT’S UP ABOVE THE CLOUDS!



Yes, in an airplane, on a flight from Amsterdam to Seattle!
I sat in seat 14A (window of course) and Mike in seat 14B

We added that explanation and copies of our boarding cards to the form.
It must have amused the officer
as Mike got approved for
permanent residency. YES!


BREATH OF FRESH AIR

Every time my thoughts are free…
                   I find you … waiting there
Every time I think of you…
                   You are to me … a deep breath of fresh air

THERE … GONE … AND … BACK

Never been… so deeply lost…
                    in such an awesome daze
Yet,… so deeply aware…
                   recalling… every single phase

DREAMS

Dreams… in black and white…
                   seeing all my friends.. every one
In my best dreams… in color…
                   so deep… so vivid… there is only one
When I see you… with joy overflowing…
                   my smile will just beam
Afterwards… the time away from each other…
                   will be just a dream
We will not awaken… until…
                   once again… we are together
I want you… to be my best friend…
forever.
