It's my first and I feel loved

I may not have a lot of hearts but this year I have my very first one. Surprisingly I really did feel like I sorta arrived and felt sorta loved by at least one person here. It's like a first anonymous love. A warm fuzzy on a cold day. Thank you! Now to pay it forward for more warm fuzzies.

I remember that! I suddenly felt - "Whoa! Somebody cares!" Very nice for the ol' self-esteem!

now you can feel doubly loved. Where in Germany are you from? I was born and lived in Frankfurt and also lived in Bad Homburg

but with the bombings my Mom, her sister and the kids didn't stay and moved to the Gifhorn/Anheim region to a little village called Wesendorf. My Mom was born in Leipsig and my father in Berlin. We immigrated with my step-father when I was in the second grade.

Thank you so much for the love! You made my day

the neighborhood I was in was bombed out and even in 1972 you could still see effects of the bombing. I was in the square the morning JFK was there. I was 5 years old. I will be back there this summer in Frankfurt am Main, Heidelberg, Trier, Koln and Rothenburg

and it feels better than getting hearts!

I was giggling, giving some love to some wonderful DUers.

I get sad when I see anyone without a heart, and hope next year to have enough to give hearts to everyone.

Sweet post, sunnystar!
