the talking stick

Petra's speech (Bjoern's mother)



Dear Agnes, dear Björn,

Since nearly one year you are married ans still happy, super!!! When I got the phone call from Las Vegas, Björn, with the information, that you just married, I was for the first moment really speechless, but some seconds later I was very pleased. But the notion was very habitual.

My sun married!

In my memory I saw the picture very clear, the time, my “little” sun just went the first day at school. A little boy with long hair, the other children in his class thought, that he must be a girl. Than he grew up to a boy, who lived at home in chaos, but at school he did every thing very exactly and correct. When he got 11 years, he found out his passion to the computers. At this time I really didn't saw him very often.

So, suddenly my "little" sun ended his school time and a year later he went to Namibia for work, than Miami and back to Munic. I saw him very rarely. Than he got known Agnes! What an event! I slowly had to realise, that the little Björn didn't exist any more! Instead of this he lives now in a multiculturous relation ship.

I whish you both all luck of this world. Enjoy you together, be open each other, and if you have a dispute, then talk about it, because otherwise there will be shaddows between you. Agnes, I want to give a personal present to you. Our father once gave to our mother a pearlbracelet, wich I lat alter in a neclace, because I thought, this will be more suitable for your generation. In this way I want to combine the past of our parents with your future.
